| Now think about all the ads for local businesses that fill your newspaper, clutter your doorstep, spew out of your radio, cover the back of your grocery receipts or reach you in dozens of other ways.

This means not only producing top-quality services and products, but demonstrating your respect for your co-workers and customers. |
