CANDO Attitude
Henry Ford wrote in his book -Today and Tomorrow (1926): “The first job was
to clean up—that is always the first thing to do in order to find out what you
are about…We cannot afford to have dirt around—it is too expensive. …
Everything is painted and kept painted a light color, so the least bit of dirt will
show. We do not paint to cover up dirt—we paint white or light gray in order
that cleanliness may be the order of things and not the exception.”
