Personnel

Last week the following were news:

P: Last week Chicago's unresting Goldblatt Brothers, who recently capped their merchandising careers by buying the old Davis Store from Marshall Field (TIME, Sept. 14), acquired as general manager a distinguished U. S. fighting man. From Fort Sam Houston, Tex. to be executive vice president of the Goldblatt stores went Major General Frank Parker, 64, wartime commander of the First Division, holder of the Distinguished Service Medal with two silver star citations for gallantry in action, the French War Cross with three palms and the Italian Grand Cross of the Order of the Crown, Commander of the French Legion of Honor, the Belgian Order of the Crown and the Order of Polonia Restituta. Said Brother Maurice Goldblatt: "Naturally . . . we feel very fortunate in being able to get a man like General Parker. With his army training and his reputation as a leader he should prove a great asset to Goldblatt Brothers. The general will make his headquarters in our new State Street Store."

P: Named president of Angostura-Wuppermann Corp. to succeed Mrs. Josephine Wuppermann, who died last month at 84, was her eldest son, Adolf Edward Wuppermann, active manager of the company for 25 years. Son Edward gave up yearning for the stage career followed by his brothers, Cinemactors Ralph and Frank Morgan, to enter the famed bitters business in 1888, used to refer to himself as "mother's high-class errand boy."

P: Announced with "severe disappointment" by Founder-Board Chairman Charles Williams Nash of Nash Motors Co. was the resignation of President Earl Hansen McCarty, 50, who succeeded Mr. Nash in that office in 1932.
