1. George F. Johnson Marker
His heart and hands built a great industry - A monument to his faith in the working man and all humanity.
The hope of the world lies in the evolution, progress and constant improvement and we look with confidence into that future rapidly approaching when all may have a more equal share in the good things of life - When the rights of humans are acknowledged to be more sacred than the rights of the dollars - When it will be the same vice and crime whether committed in broadcloth or in rags
July 21, 1919
Mutual confidence between workers and management is the greatest factor underlying business success.
Let us be not weary in well doing for in due season we shall reap if faint not.
