A Goodly Heritage"[This] unusual autobiography is the story of how genuine idealism plus hard business sense helped to build one of America's largest silver companies, Oneida Ltd., makers of Community Plate... One of the interesting things about this company is the emphasis it places on community living, the harmonious relationship between labor and management and its system of profit sharing. These policies, which have functioned so successfully, had their origins in the ideals of the original Oneida Community. This, then, is the story of a man whose life was devoted to the service of his company, his community and his country"--from synopsis attached inside back cover. |
