For 1973 programs, the national Business Committee for the Arts, and Esquire Magazine, recognized Indiana National among a select few companies in the United States. The only company in Indiana to be so honored, we consider the award a responsibility, as well as further incentive, for our encouragement of those arts programs which add so much to our quality of life. Thank you, again. Esquire and the BCA.
