CODE OF ETHICS

Recognizing the value of ethics in business and realizing that it ofttimes is difficult to decide just what course of action is just and equitable in all our varied business transactions, we, the Iowa Concrete Products Association, believing in the efficacy of written rules of conduct as an aid to clear thinking and proper actions, do adopt this code of ethics as our guide in our relations with our employes, with those from whom we buy, with those in the same and associated lines of business, and with our customers and the public in general.

Sec. 1. Relations of Employer and Employes

1: The employer shall appreciate his obligation to his employes and shall realize that their interests are mutual.

2: The employer shall strive to pay as high or higher wages than paid by others in similar industries, so that the employe may have added opportunity to save and improve himself and the unusual and willing employe shall not be burdended with more than his just share of work.

3: The working conditions shall be improved as rapidly as possible so that the employes may have light and air and healthful surroundings and labor saving devices to take from the shoulders of the employes as much as possible of the drudgery of an essentially heavy occupation, shall be adopted and put into use whenever possible.

4: The employer shall take a personal interest in his employes and shall strive to understand them and aid them in thrift and self advancement.

5: The employer shall strive to furnish continuous employment for faithful work and shall properly reward industrious, loyal, and efficient effort.

Sec. 2. Relations with Those from Whom Purchases Are Made 1: Courtesy shall be extended to all salesmen inquiring for business, but the right is reserved to refuse an interview to those wishing to present some proposition of no interest to the purchaser. It is not courteous to keep a salesman needlessly waiting as his time, too, is valuable.

2: No dishonest statements shall be made or unfair advantage taken to secure lower prices, nor shall prices received from one firm be disclosed to a competitor.

3: The seller offering the lowest price, quality and quantity being equal, shall be given the order; it shall not be given to a competitor at the same or lower figure.

4: The terms of payment shall be mutually agreed upon at the time the purchase is made and then shall be adhered to; no discount for cash shall be taken after the time fixed has passed. 5: No commission, gratuity, allowance or indirect profit of any kind shall be accepted in connection with a purchase.

Sec. 3. Relations With Our Fellow Craftsmen

1: We shall realize that our interests are mutual and shall strive to co-operate and, through an exchange of ideas, improve and expand the whole industry.

2: We shall not make false or disparaging statements of a competitor's business, of his product, or of his prices, nor shall we appropriate any of his trade names, slogans, or advertising matter.

3: We shall not agree on prices or territory with a competitor or in any way combine or conspire in restraint of trade.
