THE
YT M0T,VE
Of every human action ac
cording to the philsophers
is selfishness.
It may be personal or it may
be altruistic.
It may be good in result, or
it may be bad; it's selfishness,
just the same.
Take the nearest example.
Why do we make Crafts
man Furniture the way we
do?
Partly because we want to
please our customers but
mostly because we want to
please ourselves.
We couldn't be happy unless
we knew every piece that left
our workshops was as strong
and beautiful and "livable" as
we could make it.
And it's this kind of selfish
ness that has helped to build
up the Craftsman name.

creations of our own workrooms, that must appeal to the critical patron as worthy of comparison
