Enduring Working Raiment for America's Craftsmen: HAMILTON CARHARTT MANUFACTURER


NOT PROFIT ALONE BUT FRIENDS
The Profit on My Goods Too Small for Most Dealers
"If I can have but one thing, the respect of my customer or their business, I prefer the former, though I desire both, and trust I merit them. I have never manufactured goods for profit alone; profit is necessary , of course, but secondary to me. I would not consider that I was advancing in the business world unless I made friends as well as profits. Can it be said that I am not wise?"  Hamilton Carhartt
