WOMAN MANUFACTURER
She Was Challenged
And Faced 1t Well
BY Bah LINCOLN

From hooked rugs to cement
sounds like an impossible tran
sition in a woman's career,
but Mrs. Phyllis Larsen Of
Bethesda accomplished this
feat in a matter of days.
When her husband, the late
Herbert j. Larsen, business
executive and inventor, died
three years ago. Mrs. Larsen
found herself with an i'm
portant product on her hands,
unlimited potentials for ex-
pansion in distribution, and
not too much knowledge of
what it was all about.
To be sure she and her hus-
band had always discussed the
business. and she had accom-
panied him on his trips when
he visited distributors in
various parts of the country.
In fact she had the title of
vice president and director of
her husbands corporation.
Phyllis had been busy her.

hooked rugs. She even had
q class or two in adult educa-
ton groups in the Thomson
School here in the District.
Training an Advantage
1.-THE training I'd had from
my husband" Mrs. Larsen
said. was a definite advantage
when I took over. But I
found I had to do a brisk
about-face, roll up my sleeves
and burn the midnight oil,
finding out for sure what it
was about his product which
electrified the interest of con-
struction firms everywhere
once they were exposed to it,"
The Larsens moved to Wash
ington from Providence, r. l.,
in l943. Herbert Larsen, a
INSTRUMENTATION American of
Danish parentage. came here
on a new job after his gypsum
manufacturing business was
made obsolete by the war.
In Rhode Island, Phyllis had
been engaged in an interior
decorating service, in line with
her early training and expert
ence. A Boston girl, she had
attended Z Wheaton College,
graduated from the Chamber
lain School of Retailing, and
had had several years reveling
in fashion counseling. mer-
chandising and kindred pur-
suits in Boston stores.
