Show FROM "DEVIL" TO EXECUTIVE All now spapLT men and others who have followed the printer's trade from "devil" to proficiency will be interested in what Forbes magazine has to say about a former printer. "One of Thomas J. Watson's Intel national business Machines Ma-chines graduates, James S. Osbury, new president of the Fairchild Aviation corporation, possesses many-sided abilities abili-ties and experience. To pronounced inventive and mechanical genius, he weds high executive qualities. "Printing is better training for life than college," declared old Horace Greeley. Ogsbury examplifies this. He started in his father's printing offices in up-state New York, developed de-veloped aptitude for mechanical improvements, 'and after varied experience in accounting, railroading, etc., he made a name for himself with I. B. iM. Infusing new life into moribund mori-bund plants became his speciality. It was only last year he joined the Fairchild organization. A year later he is picked for the presidency. Already profits pro-fits have soaied and unfilled orders more than doubled. Of medium height, stocky, strong, reserved, he works prodigiously yet finds time for calm thought. Golf is his recreation, photography his hobby. He is an out-of-door enthusiast. Ho doesn't take himself too seriously." |
