Olivcr M. Knodc Named PreridcntLumbcr Dealer's Research Council Mcctg Of Unitcd Stata Gypsum Company

The board of directors of tlre United States Gypsum Company, at their November, 1949 meeting, named Oliver M. Knode to the office of president which was then vacant.

This appointment insures a continuation of the company policies of quality production an<l dealer service that have made U.S.G. one of the leading manufacturers of building materials. Mr. Krrode has had a leading position in the formulation of those policies ()ver a long period of years.

Mr. Knocle started his career fifty-two years ago in tlre gypsum mill at Oakfreld, N. Y. which later became a part of the United States Gypsum Company. In l%J2 he was transferred to the operating department at the Chicago office. He held various executive positions in that department bccoming vice president in charge of operations; from 1931 to 1936 executive vice presitlent; from 1936 to 1942 prcsident; and from 1942 to 1949 chairman of the executive comnrittee.

Thcse ycars of actual executive experience and extcnsive study of gypsum organizations throughout the country and abroad, have made Mr. Knode an authority on the mining, processing ancl merchandising of gypsum and related building products.

No extensive changes in the personnel of the sales and service departments of the company are contemplated but the aim of the present officials will be to maintain and improve, rvhere possible, the company's service to all factors in the building industry.
