Receives Recognition From German University ! x 'I Mr. William E. Weiss. The University of Cologne, Germany, has just paid to Mr. William H. Weiss, of Wheeling, W. Va., one of the founders and General Manager of Sterling Products (Incorporated), and now Vice-President and General Manager Man-ager of Drug Incorporated, an unusual distinction by bestowing unanimously upon him the title of Doctor Philoso-phiae Philoso-phiae Honoris Causa. Mr. Welsn is the first and only American to be so honored by this world famous German Institution. This mark of preferment came to Mr. Weiss in recognition of his efforts to further the industrial relations that have extended over more than a decade between the Directors and Scientific and Chemical staffs of German Ger-man and American Pharmaceutical firms that are prominent in international interna-tional industrial affairs. During the past few years Mr. Weiss has been a frequent visitor to Europe and is a recognized link in strengthening commercial friendship between the old and new continents, a truth emphasized by the action at Cologne.
