Club Aluminum Cookware Company

Club Aluminum Cookware Company has produced amazing product from its fascinating history. It was pulled from the brink of bankruptcy during the Great Depression and eventually paid off all of its $400,000 debt – a hefty sum for the era. The company’s rescue, engineered by the deeply principled Herbert Taylor, was not through draconian cutbacks or layoffs, but through creating an ethical code for the company’s employees. Below is an online catalog of Club Aluminum Cookware items at unbelievable bargains:

Herbert hypothesized, “If the people who worked for Club Aluminum were to think right, I knew they would do right. What we needed was a simple, easily remembered guide to right conduct - a sort of ethical yardstick- which all of us in the company could memorize and apply to what we thought, said and did.”

Mr. Taylor introduced these principles to revive The Depression ravaged Club Aluminum Cookware Company and were subsequently adopted by Rotary International. Those guiding principles and the organizations that were influenced by them have survived him. He died in 1978.
