2004 HALL OF FAME John Bell -- Ethics Really Matter

Steve DiGiulio, vice president and general manager for fellow paper vendor Shaughnessy Kniep Hawe, sees Bell as a tough businessman, as well as a gentleman of high integrity.

"John's not a pushover. He gives you the information you need, but if you can't make it happen for him, he'll take his business elsewhere," DiGiulio remarks. "I like doing business with him because he's fair, but firm. He says what he's going to do and does what he says—and you can take it to the bank. He knows the true sense of partnership, where all parties profit."
