Integrity and Perseverance in Business ensure success (1853)

A poster from the 1850's promoting Folsom's Mercantile College in Ohio. The poster includes a motto (which I boxed in green) that I think is great guidance: Integrity and Perseverance in Business ensure success. Image Source.

February 9, 2020 โ€” In 1851 Ezekiel G. Folsom incorporated Folsom's Mercantile College in Ohio.

Folsom's taught bookkeeping, banking, and railroading.

Their motto was: "Integrity and Perseverance in Business ensure success".

Guess who went there?

John D. Rockefeller.
