1923

Carl H. Bowen, vice-president and secretary of the Art Metal, Inc., worldwide producers of office equipment with headquarters in Jamestown, N. Y., on December 16, 1964 opened their new Boston offices situated on the Boston waterfront exactly where on December 16, 1773 ninety Bostonians boarded three British ships and dumped 42 chests of tea overboard. Carl has been associated with Art Metal, Inc. since 1923 starting as a branch office salesman and progressing to one of their major executive positions.

Glen Elliot spent four weeks in Room 36 of the Jane Brown Hospital in Providence, R. I., last December and January recuperating from a cracked vertebra in his back. This accident was the result of a fall on the ice on the walk in front of his home. Thanks to Jim Broe, chairman of the Massachusetts committee, Glen received many cards and letters during this enforced vacation. The accident did not prevent Glen from keeping an eye and ear on his Pawtucket, R. I., and Landrum, S. C., manufacturing operations.

In a recent New York Times Sunday edition there is an excellent picture of Philip C. Weinseimer, senior vice president of North American Philips Company. Phil is holding in his hand an experimental solar shaver which is powered by a case (also shown in the picture) which converts light energy into electricity with 32 selenium cells. It seems the electric shaver industry is buzzing with activity that started with rising sales last fall. The prediction is a gain of about 10 per cent in dollar and unit sales through 1965. Phil is quoted as saying "continuing rise in our advertising budget reflects our growing sales curve - the industry's strongest hope lies with the young man just starting to shave - among teenage boys who shave 63 per cent use electric shavers."

Once every two years Al Reinthal writes a very interesting and newsy letter to the secretary. He and Jean still ride as much as ever. Jean on her "Dandy Boy' and Al on his "Jasper." He spoke of their once a week dressage lesson and we find a definition for dressage in Webster's dictionary as follows "Guidance of a mount through a set of maneuvers without perceptible use of the hands, reins, legs, etc." The Reinthals ride at Sleepy Hollow Country Club. This club adjoins Nelson Rockefeller's estate and is the place made famous by Washington Irving in his "Sketch Book."
