NO SUBSTITUTE FOR
HARO WORK—FIRESTONE
Alliance, 0., Sept. 10.—One
ol the big things the matter
with America today is that
many people have the idea they
can find a substitute for hard
work and seek to attain success
without making any sacrifice or
giving any real service. This
was the warning sounded by
Mr. Harvey S. Firestone, Akron
tire manufacturer, in talking to
several hundred college students
after receiving an honorary de-
gree of Doctor of Business Ad-
ministration at Mt. Union Col-
lege here recently.
He expressed appreciation of
the awakening recognition and
increasing prestige of the pro-
fession of general business and
commerce. He declared there
was no other profession that re-
quired more sacrifice in attain-
ing success and where so much
real good for progress and civ-
ilization could be accomplished.
“I do not refer simply to the
accumulation of wealth but in
building up this great country
of ours and in helping and mak-
ing more happy lives of others,”
he said. “The successful busi-
ness man of today must build
upon a foundation of honesty,
integrity and service.
“He gives as much or more
thought to the welfare of his
employees than he does to the
profits of his business. After
reviewing the history of gener-
al business and commerce in
this country for the last thirty-
five years, during which time I
have taken an active part in it,
1 am thoroughly convinced
there is no other profession that
requires more sacrifice and en-
tails greater hardships in at-
taining real success.”
Mr, Firestone told the stud-
ents that oi uit many qualifica-
Avit.V’ nL>cessary for success per-
think ancau.
“You might think that this is
an inherent gift but it has been
my experience that most of our
.so-called gifts or good fortune
comes to us by conscientious
hard work.
in our civilization is growing
greater every day. We must at
all times be conscious of the
Christian faith if we are to at-
tain happiness and content-
ment. You will find that a true
religious sense will help you to
a better enjoyment of your
work and life.
“Good character is the first
thing that everyone looks for
in the men whom they would
employ. The foundation of
good character is religion. Your
good character is the most val-
uable asset you have and you
will find it is built upon your re-
ligious faith and courage and if
you want real success you must
always maintain that faith.”
Mr. Firestone referred to the
example of his personal friend
said. “I have always liked tho
farm and often go back to it, as
I find there a spiritual comfort
and rest that is of great help to
me.”

employing 17 people to more
than 19,000, Mr. Firestone said:
“My experience has taught
me that there are three things
absolutely necessary to real suc-
cess in life—service, sacrifice
and unselfishness. You will get
out of life just what you put in-
to it in the way of service. You
will find that nothing worth
while can be obtained without
sacrifice. And you will learnt
that unselfishness—a regard for!
the rights and happiness of oth-
ers—will bring you your great-
est measure of happiness and j
satisfaction.
