SOUTHERN OBSERVATIONS
,
TWO WHO
PASSED
Qedth in tHe week
that has passed came
to two personalities
whose lives at one time were spent
agaln.it the background of the
South.
First of the two, by virtue of the
prominent position she held in phi-
ianthTophy, is kindly, motherly
Mrs. Bernard M. Baruch, wife of
the noted financier, who died last
Sunday in New York. Married to
the titan of finance in 1096, she
seldom shared the spotlight with
her husband, performed . her acts
of charity quietly, without fanfare.
Interest of Mrs. Baruch in the
South was centered in Camden, S.
C.j her husband’s birthplace. Ac
companying him on pis frequent
trips to the scene eft his boyhood,
she learned to love the South Caro
lina countryside, several years ago
donated a wmg for the Camden
Hospital. Sharing her interest was
her daughter, Belle; acquired in
February, 1936 the plantation of
5,000 acres belonging to her father
in Georgetown, S. C. Recognized
among the mourners at the funeral
services for Mrs. Baruch was
grieved Mrs. Franklin D. Roose
velt, who cancelled two important
addresses to attend.
Memorialized by his sculptures
throughout the country is Aus
trian-born Igadore Koriti, who died
at the age of seventy-five in Yonk-
ehs, N. Y. Visitors to Baton Rouge,
La. daily *ee his statue of Gover
nor F. T. Nicolls ui the state capi-
toi. fexeciiled niariy years ago, still
an impressive example of the Kontl
art. Works of Isadore Konti are to
be found in the Metropolitan Mu
seum Of Art, the Corcoran Gallery,
museums in Detroit and St. Louis.
In New York, his imperishable
art is perpetiiated in the bronze
female figure on the Pulitzer Foun-
tain, Fifth Avenue and 59th Street;
the memorial to Bishop Horatio
Potter in the CathedraJ of St. John
the Divine, the World War and
Lincoln Monuments in Yonkers.

JOSEPH GUZY
Junior Order
The bi-monthly meeting of the
Atlanta Chapter of A. Z. A. will
be held on Sunday, January 23.
Aleph Godol Robert Shukoif has
announced the appointment of the
various committees that will func
tion during the next six months in
carrying out the seven-fold pro
gram of the fraternity.
Announcement has been made
by thq “Shofer”, news organ of
A. Z. A„ that the basketball team
of the local Chapter, victors in the
finals of the Southern Regional
Tournament held in Atlanta in
December, will participate in the
finals of the District Five Tourna
ment to be held in Charleston in
the near future.
The old adage, “success comes to
those who work for it" was demon
strated last week with the promo
tion of Joseph Guzy, merchandis
ing supervisor of Davison-Paxon
Company, to the post of vice-presi
dent, and his election as a store di
rector.
Mr. Guzy’s success story Is
marked bv a firm ambition on his
part to make his own way, relying
on neither chance nor influence.
Every step in his unusual career
reveals the determination to accept
promotion only as the reward of his
own capabilities.
At the beginning of his career,
immediately after his graduation
from New York University, Mr.
Guzy was faced with a choice be
tween entering his family’s estab
lished business—where success
would be inevitable—or proving
his ability by Joining a firm in
which he would be accepted with
out favoritism. It was the latter
decision which Mr. Guzy made, be
coming affiliated with Macy’s in
New York. His persistence and
imagination quickly distirtguished
him as a young man of great pro
mise, and he received a series of
successive promotions in the con
troller’s office. Having learned the
fundamentals of department store
operation, he began a career as
buyer both at Macy’s and at Bam
berger's in Newark, N. J.
Five years ago Mr. Guzy came
to Atlanta as merchandising mana
ger in the wearing apparel depart
ment of the Davison-Paxon Com-
j pahy. His rise in the period which
J hall followed is based upon his rc-
i markable knowledge of the Atlan
ta public’s taste and his vision in
I merchandising. At the present
time, the third floor apparel de
partments, which he has served us
merchandising manager since his
affiliation with Davison-Paxon’s,
aro being remodeled at a tremen
dous cost. When completed they
will be among the most modem
apparel departments in the South.
The promotion which Mr. Guzy
won last week climaxes one of
the most interesting careers in na
tional department store history.
He is married to the former Miss
