The success of this organization has been due primarily to two factors closely related to one another. The first of these is the character of the men and women who THE comprise the Onondaga Pottery today and also the character ofthose who OF have made up this organization in the pastWAREand who still are more a part of us than we may realize. The second is the spirit of mutual respect, confi dence, and goodwill in which we all have worked together through the NETWORK years. This spirit PROPERTYcannot be expressed adequately in words, but it is ex plained partly in the opening sentence ofour Statement of Policy: RESTAURANT " The first principle ofthe Onondaga Pottery is that this business exists to be ofservice -tothe public which buys our china-toCOLLECTORSthe people working in this organization-to the stockholders who provide our plants and the equipment with which we work; that the interests ofthese three groups are essentially the same; that these, our common interests, can be served well only as we ofthe Pottery serve each other well." 2 COI'YItlGHT IU6, O!'lOHO....GA !'OmltY COM~..."". SlltACUSf, I'l. Y. Fine chinaware is an exception in this mechanistic age, in which machines have displaced for the most part human skill. The making oftrue china remains largely a humanjob, reflecting the diligence and loyalty and skill ofthose who make it. These human values inherent in our Syracuse China are our her THE itage from the striving, fruitful span ofour "75 y ~s ofProgress."They are OF also the promise for our future as the OnondagaWAREPottery moves on into the years ahead, building success not only on ever improving processes and equipment and formulae, but above all on the NETWORKpeople who comprise this organization. PROPERTY It is to the peopleRESTAURANTof the Pottery, present and past, who have made possible this Seventy-Fifth Anniversary, that this book is dedicated.
