"THE PEOPLE THAT I SOLD,...BECAME GREAT FRIENDS"

 

img_joe.jpg (4570 bytes) " I think in business, you've got to make your word good, regardless of what it costs you. You may spend money to make your word good. I think that you get customers and good business from people that recommend you. 
     The people that I sold, when I was out selling, became great friends. In those days, I could go into any little town and eveybody knew me. Most of my friends were customers. I remember a customer down in Cassville - everytime I'd go down there he wanted me to go fishing with
him. And we fished together quite a bit!
     It takes a long time to build any reputation. I think that your word of mouth advertising is about the best advertising there can be. You've  got to be strictly honest with your customer.
     I think the greatest accomplishment I ever had - and my sons followed - was honesty in business. When we gave a guarantee, we stayed with that guarantee. We gave them a value. I'd say that built our business."
