Roundtable Panel
On Brand Names
Day Is Planned
NEW YORK — Do brand names
promote monopolies . . . limit re
tailors’ and wholesalers’ profits?
Does advertising confuse the con
sumer? A panel of five leading
executives in sales, wholesaling,
retailing and consumer research
will discuss these and other
charges leveled at brands and ad
vertising at a roundtable meeting
on Brand Names Day—l9so at the
Waldorf-Astoria on April 5. The
theme of the roundfable meeting
will be “The Case For Brands and
Advertising.” It will highlight the
afternoon session of this fifth an
nual all-day conference to be
sponsored by Brand Names Foun
dation, Incorporated.
Panel members who were named
today include: John W. Hubbell,
Vice President of the Simmons
Company, who will act as modera
tor; Austin S. Igleheart, President
of General Foods Corporation, who
will discuss the questions from the
viewpoint of sales; Gerald O. Kaye,
Vice President of Bruno-New
York, representing the whple-sal
er’'s point of view; Harold W.
Brightman, President of Lit Broth
ers, Philadelphia, Pa., who will
talk about department store re
tailing; John D. Gray, President of
Wallachs, Inc., speaking for the
retail store viewpoint; and Howard
A. Trumbull, President of National
Family Opinion, Inc., Toledo, Ohio
research organization.
Mr. Turnbull’s presentation,
representing the consumers’ view
point, will be based on the findings
of the recently completed National
Family Opinion survey of the buy
ing habits of 2,000 typical Ameri
can families.
In announcing the panel, H.
James Gediman, Regional Manager
of Hearst Advertising Service, and
chairman of the Brand Names Day
—1950 committee said:
“The executlves who will lead
this roundtable discussion are no
starry-eyed idealists but practical
men with outstanding reputations
in their fields. Their pertinent
contributions will consist of facts
and figures gained from long ex
perience in sales, wholesaling, re
tailing or consumer research. I
think this session can clear the air
of many misconceptions about the
role of brand competition and ad
vertising in our economic picture.
I believe it will be a stimulating
experience for all who have a
stake in the brand distribution
system and free enterprise.”

tail and snapping jaks| Said Miss

again.”
THE BANNER-HERALD, ATHENS, GEORGIA
‘SOMEBODY DEAD AT OUR HOUSE’
Georgia Woman Edifs Book,
"Daddy Was An Underfaker”
ROME, Ga.,, March 11—(AP)—
“There was always somebody dead
at our house.” :
On that slightly jarring note
o;l)lens the latest literary aecoms
plishment of MeDill McCown
Gasmsan, 35-year-old Rome, Ga.,
housewife, mother, civie leader,
poet and author.
That sentence opens and sets
the theme of Mrs., Gassman’s
forthcoming book, “Daddy Was An
Undertaker,” —the factual, hu
morous account of a small town
mortician who tried to rear three
normal, active children in an
apartment in “The Parlors.”
Mrs. Gassman is the younger
daughter of the late Joseph Albert
McGown, of Huntsville, Ala., the
father whom she describes as “The
big man in the stetson hat.” While
most of the book is in a humorous
vein, there is running throukh the
story the bright thread of love the
writer felt for her father — and
she has attempted to picture the
more human side of the man who,
by virtue of his profession, must
eventually enter the lives of
everyone.
No Date
“Daddy Was An Uundertaker,”
is to be published by the Decker
Press, Prairie City, 111. While no
date has been set officiallq, publi
cation is expected in the fall. ,
Decker was the publisher of
Mrs. Gassman’s first book, a col
elction of poems called “Frag-
A Popular Stvle In Every Wardrobe
