...credit, said Wolfson, goes to Ward's President John A. Barr, who changed Ward's cautious, old-fashioned approach to selling, renovated hundreds of stores and laid plans to add 100 new catalogue-order offices, stepped up advertising, put new emphasis on installment selling. As a result, gross sales for 1955's final eleven months were up 10.1% to almost $1 billion, and are expected to grow even faster in 1956. Furthermore, the annual dividend was boosted from $3.50 to $4, plus a year-end extra...
...turned out, neither Zeigler nor any other Army player was any help against powerful Michigan. In their five meetings over the past ten years, the Cadets had beaten the Wolverines every time. But last week Michigan counterattacked with a vengeance. Halfback Terry Barr slammed through the porous Army line for the first touchdown soon after the kickoff, then sprinted 82 yards to score a second time. Michigan added two more touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Butter-fingered Army lost eight of its nine fumbles, completed only one pass all afternoon, while Michigan romped to a 26-2 triumph...
...signers of the "Chicago Draft" was Stringfellow Barr, former president of St. John's College at Annapolis, who represents a distinct segment of the world government movement.

In Let's Join the Human Race he outlines a plan for a giant International development Authority, similar to this country's T.V.A. Clearly, the Cold War had driven Barr and others to Asia, where the need for food and medicine overshadowed vague plans of politized federation...
...evil pirate, Captain Bellame sailed north from the West Indies to pass the winter in the more comfortable shipping lanes off Newfoundland. Near Martha's Vineyard he impressed a Yankee fisherman to pilot his ship past Long Island. The new skipper, apparently unhappy, ran the ships aground on Norsett Barr during a storm...
Montgomery Ward Chairman John Barr last week reported the cost of the proxy fight to repel Raider Louis Wolfson. The bill: $692,250. The cost of the fight, plus a change in the method of computing the corporation's tax caused by a tax law change, cut the company's net for the first six months to $11,771,690, a 5% drop under 1954, despite a $22 million rise in sales. But Barr also had some good news. The company plans to open 100 new catalogue-order offices by the end of next year, the first sizable...
