SOUND BUSINESS PRACTICE

BUSINESS standards must be such that men
can implicitly trust each other. This is as
fundamental to better times as sound cur
rency, credit or banking.
WHEN one man engages another to perform
service, he enters into contract If this
service is to be assuredly successful, that
contract must be made with man or orpani-
zation that is conducting its business on the
same high standards as the contractor: with
a man or organization to whom contract
is sacred obligation.
THE KENNEBEC JOURNAL COMPANY
attributes it's success in the steady growth Of
its business to it's ability to perform unusual
service for it's patrons, and the preservation
OF their confidence through sound and honor
able business practices.
An honorable record over century sets
our standard high and would seem to warrant
confidence in our purpose to maintain it.
