The Rotary 4-Way Test was first conceived in 1932 at the height of the Great Depression by a Chicago businessman who was faced with the challenge of saving a major company from bankruptcy. Looking for a way to keep his business solvent, he sought a short yardstick of ethics to every aspect of business. As a result, a climate of trust and goodwill developed among dealers, customers, and employees, and the 4-Way Test was credited with returning the company to a thriving status.
Previous recipients of the 4-Way Test Award also include Peggy Bradford, Charles R. “Chip” Dashiell, Virginia Layfield, Frank Purdue, Frank Morris, King Burnett, William Middleton, Orville Penn, Marty Neat, Morgan Hazel and Anthony Sarbanes.
