diction of April ! tit wasn't
April Fools Day as far as we
were concerned that Floyd
Odlum was buying Hudson stock
and that there would probably
he two new directors. has been
confirmed in both instances.
Odlum has admitted SUBJ
stantial interest and Hudson
management has announced two
directors c. A. Oostdyk and l.
B. Swegles, both company Of
ficials, will resign from the
board to make way for new
blood.
And this column on that date
even named one of the two
proposed new directors, David
Baird. New York insurance
man.
Aside from the natural pleas
ure that one derives from being
first and right, we noted with
interest that this marks the
apparent beginning Of the end
of a peculiar era for Hudson
an era in which a wide majority
of the directors of the company
were necessarily subservient to
the president because they we're
employees of the company.
