Perhaps the most glamorous small brewer is Anchor Brewing Co. of San Francisco, which was saved from bankruptcy in 1965 by Frederick Maytag, the great-grandson of the washing machine company founder. Maytag has developed a national following for his Anchor Steam Beer even though only 25,000 bbl. of the brew were produced last year. The beer, now available in 19 states, including Massachusetts and Georgia, is much praised by savants for its distinctively European taste, which imparts a somewhat heavier bouquet than is common among American brands...
Users of small computers have found that the machines can perform nearly all the functions of their bigger brothers, the refrigerator-size minicomputers and the mainframe models that occupy whole rooms. In San Francisco, President Fritz Maytag of Anchor Brewing Co. uses the Apple II machine on his desk to plot his company's financial future. The United American Bank of Knoxville, Tenn., has sold Tandy computers to 115 customers, who pay bills and check statements and balances at home on the machines. Bruce Kemp, an executive with Merrill Lynch in New York City, does stock analysis...
...Black & Decker power and home workshop tools, increasingly stress quality and craftsmanship. Thom McAn, once the proud purveyor of low-cost shoes for kids, now also promotes upscale footwear for women, and ads extoll features like cushioned and arched insoles for its new line of track shoes. Maytag Co. commercials emphasize that their repairmen are "the loneliest people in the world" because the company's washing machines are so well made that nobody needs to have them repaired. Whirlpool, which also produces washing machines, links craftsmanship to patriotism. Its commercials show inspirational scenes of eagles in flight, while...
National Chairman Lewis B. ("Bud") Maytag would say only that Pan Am's offer would be carefully studied. But he has fought Texas International's bid from the start. National executives dislike the idea of being swallowed by a relatively small regional airline, and in fact they had been talking merger with Pan Am since January. Pan Am is stronger than it has been in years. Not long ago, there were fears that it might go bankrupt because of the pressures of rising fuel prices and unprofitable overseas routes, especially after the company lost $107 million in 1974. But under...
What could upset a merger is potential incompatibility between Seawell, 60, a tough former Air Force general, and combative Bud Maytag, 52, a grandson of the Maytag appliance company's founder. The two strong leaders might have trouble working together. But that may not turn into a problem, for Maytag seems ready to get out of the airline business and return to Colorado Springs, where he grew up. National's ups and downs over the years, its labor problems (six strikes since 1964) and the trend toward deregulation and merger all have taken their toll of Maytag's enthusiasm...
