Show Firm's Charily Kept as Secret For 30 Years BOSTON A $30 million "humanitarian "humani-tarian fund" established by George Robert White, philanthropist, shortly short-ly before he died has been revealed re-vealed by Dr. Samuel M. Best,, who succeeded White as president of Cuticura Corp., Maiden. White died 30 years ago. Dr. Best said he was making the first public report of the work and status of Mr. White's humanitarian fund now to fulfill a promise in January, 1922, that the public be told of the multi-million-dollar philanthropic phil-anthropic project after 30 years following his death. The money was provided to aid struggling artists, medical patients, institutions and hospitals. The donations do-nations had totaled some $30 million- and the fund will continue to pour additional millions into humanitarian hu-manitarian projects. Mr. White ordered the Cuticura Corp., "forever turn over $2 out of every $3 It makes in net profits" to support these charitable endeavors endeav-ors through the fund. Beneficiaries include the Massachusetts Massa-chusetts General Hospital, Massachusetts Massa-chusetts College of Pharmacy, Boston Bos-ton Museum of Fine Arts, Massachusetts Massa-chusetts Medical Society, Boston Health Department and Boston Lying-in Hospital. The fund also built the Boston Medical Library and the Massachusetts Massa-chusetts College of Pharmacy and purchased countless works of art for the Boston Museum. The fund is nearly six times greater than the famous White fund left by him to the city of Boston. That fund has financed several public pub-lic recreational places. The corporation manufactures soap, liquid soap, ointments, shaving shav-ing cream and many allied products. |
