1936
Those of you who have had your oil tanks let go all over the basement floor know how we feel as we go to press with this here batch. Whether it be catalytic cracked or just straight-run distillate, fuel oil Number 2 ain't the equal of Chanel Number 5, aroma-wise; furthermore, we can't exactly recommend the treatment for asphalt tile, that is, unless one no longer wants said tile... .We do, however, recommend you review your finances and if all is not needed to satisfy the T men on 15 March, beat it to Vero Beach, Fla., where during the period March 25 to April 15 you can get Dick Treadway to wait hand and foot on you and ma for but $17.00 per diem, American Plan. Catch the Treadway ads in earlier issues of the the MAGAZINE or write for further details (Nancy Sasser's got nuthin' on us, except she gets paid for it); speaking of innkeep Treadway, we just learned that he will take a leave of absence to stump for Eisenhower . .. when he was in France last summer, Dick checked with Ike so we're guessing Secretary Brannan better head for the hills.
Some of the brothers have been moving about of late. For one, Art Atkinson has turned up at Greer Hydraulics, Inc., in Brooklyn where he is sales manager of the industrial division which calls for his supervising national sales of Greer hydro-pneumatic accumulators and other hydraulic devices and components... . George McCleary, late of tis Publishing, is now sales promotion manager of the Olin Cellophane Division of Ecusta Paper Company. When we visited Mac in his new surroundings we had lunch brought in which we always figure proves a guy has arrived.
A swell note from Bob Prentice tells his story:
"After 13 years with General Foods I left the worthy organization to join an advertising agency—just another prospect for an ulcer, they tell me. I am now with Doherty, Clifford & Schenfield, Inc., located in the Empire State Building. They call me an account executive and Borden's Instant Coffee is my particular problem. It's interesting work—I've been there only since January 1—and I'm really delighted at the opportunity to try the advertising business from the other side of the desk. We have a regular Dartmouth shop-I'm working with Al Butler, who is a full-fledged vice-president and one of the guiding lights. Then we have Rod Albright '39 as our Television Director and Bill Steers '30, one of the principals."
Sunday, January 27, was a big day for two of the brethren Ed Higbee passed the panatellas for a new daughter to add to two sons, while Al Gibney, having two daughters, proved it's possible and got himself an alumnus—we're old enough to know that wives deserve a lot of credit and congratulations to Helen and Eloise It's been a spell since we had word on Dang Scherman and we are happy to pass along that Life's ex-lensman has writ a book with the help of his lovely wife and that said opus is now on the press and selected as the Book of the Month. ... On 1 January, the Wall Street law firm of Hughes, Hubbard, Blair and Reed announced that Ed Redington had joined them. Actually Ed had been associated previously with all of them but the Blair element which somehow managed to squeeze in east of Hubbard and west of Reed in the old firm of Hughes, Hubbard and Reed. ...We can't tell you what he's up to but now that we're on page two of Madame Trance's new book on the crystal ball we see Don Andrus in Niagara Falls with Alox Corporation.... Around the middle of last year TommyThompson elected to become his own boss and set up as a CPA in Burlington, Vt.; prior thereto Tommy had been comptroller of Marcell's Trucking Company, a large Burlington trucking firm... . Leading citizen in Wood- stock, Vt., is Frank Teagle, publisher and printer in this delightful ski and summer vacation paradise.. . . Did we ever pass along the news that Joe Davis III, AGC, 01001984, GHQ FEC AG-OM, APO 500, c/o P.M. San Francisco, is stationed in Tokyo? He sends his greetings to the class and reports prospects of getting out around this month.. . . Not having heard from or of the guy in years we were interested to note that Johnny Marsh can be reached at Code 560 Bureau of Ships, Washington, D. C.
Wish more of you lads would take a cue from Ed Whitlock who packs the news even though he writes briefly; "Had an unexpected and delightful visit from Dr. Rog Metcalf and his lovely wife a few months ago. They are living in Coopers Mills, Me., just outside of Augusta, where Rog is on the staff of the Veterans Administration. Sounds as if he has found the answer to living with pleasure. I'm back east more or less permanently, doing wage-hour, etc., administration with Home Insurance Company where Rogers Bayles is secretary in the Investment Department." ... Apparently Bob Eaton has permanently .given up his professional pursuits for business since he tells us that he is Materials Movement Manager for American Optical Company in Southbridge, Mass. Home for Bob is Dudley, Mass., where the family consists of helpmate Caroline, daughter Carol, age 7, and 6-year- old son Stewart.
Good cooperator with the column, LouBenezet, writes that he and Chuck Lehman exchange second-hand information via friends travelling the 200 miles between Meadville and Williamsport, Pa. Says that he understands Doc has given up being a lady's man at least to the extent of some general practice on male patients on occasion. "Our own support of the medical profession," reports Lou, "was manifested November 6 by the arrival of Julia Ellen, third child and second daughter" From Laguna Beach, Calif., Johnny Favour describes life in terms of sunshine, the outdoors and four daughters, Judy, Jerry, Penny, and Polly While on the subject of children, here's the case where the guy has the birth pains; Boyce Price had twins in the office. As editor of Architectural Forum he delivered two editions in January. Yup, the old book has been split into two sections—one all houses, the other heavy construction. Home, when the editor makes it, is in Long Ridge, Conn., with wife Betty, Marion, 8, and Bill, 5.
When you visit the Cleveland headquarters of Dairypak, Inc., and you notice down the corridor a door marked Vice President in Charge of Sales, barge right in, he won't bite. It's none other than Milt Johnston.. .. Before leaving Cleveland, and provided vice presidents are your dish, stop in at the Wm. A. Reynolds Company and there you'll find another in the person of Bob Keegan. Have no qualms about touching up old Bob for a night's lodging—all eight Keegan bedrooms are hardly ever filled. . .. Pretty much a convert of the Deep South, Freddy Kneip finds the pace just right at Union Bag and Paper in Savannah. Fred is Assistant Manager of the Bag Division and boasts one diminutive belle, aged 4, and two small southern gentlemen, aged 8 and 2.
Don't forget to write and until next time you will find us in the basement sopping up —oil.
