LT. BYRON BLOCK JOINS HIS
COMPANY IN LOUISIANA
Lt. Byron Block (as he is now
being called) has just joined
Company “ L” , Q. M. Regiment,
Camp Claiborne, La. Byron is
well known to the entire trade
for his work with his father,
Harry Block, of Block Marble
Company, Philadelphia, suppli­
ers to the industry. He was the
one who helped to build this
business to leadership in its
field. Byron is responsible for
the fine catalogs that the firm
has been turning out, and since
his graduation from the Uni­
versity of Pennsylvania, has in­
terested himself in the Block
Marble Company to the extent
where he was practically in full
charge of the business until the
call came to join his regiment.
“ About two years ago,” ac­
cording to Harry Block, “ Byron
joined the Q. M. Corps here in
Philadelphia and has since been
very active. Tho he continued
to work in his offices here at
our Block Marble Company he
was recognized as one of the
outstanding officers in the Q.
M. Corps. Still a young man,
Byron was naturally on call.
We just gave him a great party
and a send-off to his new posi­
tion where he takes his official
title of Lieutenant Byron Block
and will be in Camp Claiborne
trom now on.
Everyone here was certainly
sorry to have Byron leave for
e has been one of the most
energetic officers of this organi­
zation. He was in charge of all
sales promotion and advertising
as well as general correspondent
or us. Those friends of his in
e trade that want to write to
Tlm can reach him in Company
r
Regiment, Camp Clai-
b01*ne, La.”
Byron was one o f the most
orilhant students of the Univer-
*y
of
Pennsylvania
at
the
harton School of Finance and
Business. He will be 24 years
old on August 31st. He won a
four year scholarship while at
the University and had intended
to continue his studies. Byron’s
sister, who is now the wife of
Dr. Joseph Bitman of this city,
was also a winner of a 4 year
scholarship from the University
of Pennsylvania. The family
are well known as scholars to
the regents of the University.
Friends in the industry who
heard of Lt. Byron Block’s leav­
ing his business at this time
have all sent telegrams and let­
ters wishing him well and are
of the belief that he will prove
as good an officer of the U. S.
Army as he did an executive in
Block Marble Company.

ENJOYS SOUTHERN
CRUISE
Miss Blanche Bouchard, treas­
urer of Arthur H. DuGrenier,
Inc., returned from a Southern
cruise the first week in April
feeling fit as a fiddle and ready
to pitch in once again from her
office at the DuGrenier head­
quarters in Haverhill, Mass.
“ I certainly am glad to be
back at active duty even though
I had the time of my life,”
stated Miss Bouchard upon dis­
embarking, “ and it is wonderful
to learn that sales of our Cham­
pion cigarette merchandiser and
Candy Man 5c candy bar ma­
chine are way ahead of last
year.”
