Ethics and the Four-Way Test

Are you aware of how The Four-Way Test came to be a key element of Rotary?

In 1932, Chicago Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor was a successful businessman at the Jewel Tea food company who was being groomed for the presidency. That same year, a near-bankrupt firm, Club Aluminum Company, approached him and asked him to help revive their business. It was an unusual request. Club Aluminum employed 250 people, had debts exceeding $400,000 (over $4 million today), and the country was in the midst of the Great Depression.
