| A
trader must be a worldly man. He must be versatile and able
to trade for anything. He must be honest and open and love to
deal. It has always been my belief that international traders
can do more than anyone else to foster peace, friendship and stable
economics among nations. Ludwig Jesselson, Philipp Brothers (Phibro Corporation) |
