In 1932 Chicago Rotarian Herbert J. Taylor was approached by creditors, owed more than $400,000 by the Club Aluminum Company, who asked him to take over the failing company.  Taylor realized that Club had a good product and needed a way to distinguish itself from it's financially stronger competitors.  He decided to capitalize on the "character, dependability, and service mindedness" of the company's employees.  He was inspired to write the 24 now-famous words of the Four-Way Test.
