Maytag is a story of difficulties overcome, of obstacles brushed aside, of defeats turned into victories, and, finally, a clear exposition of a truth too seldom recognized, that whoever achieves great success in industry, of necessity, benefits his fellowman as much as he benefits himself. We are apt to be envious of the possessors of great weatlh, because we mistakenly think that the possessors of great wealth employ all of it to their own pleasure and that of their families. It is impossible for any rich man to do this, and for th emost part it is impossible to build up a great forutne without indirectly helping everybody. Practically every great fortuen produced by indusry, as distinguished from speculation, has been the result of making chaeper and more accessible something which adds to human happiness and human comfort. The Maytag fortune was no exception to this rule"-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a Maytag, Frederick Louis, $d 1857-1937. 650 8 $a Businessmen $z Iowa $v Biography. 650 8 $a Philanthropists $z Iowa $v Biography. 651 8 $a Newton (Iowa) $x History. 610 20 $a Maytag Company $x History. 610 20 $a Maytag Company. 941 $a 1 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20220720011047.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=553CD78607F111ED914C8BAC5AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JINInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
