...exporters. Now they are increasingly taking a new role -as owners of foreign factories. In the past two weeks, executives of Farbwerke Hoechst, a huge chemical manufacturer, have played the part with particular bravura in Britain and France. Climaxing a long contest, they outbid the U.S.'s Sherwin-Williams Co. to win a controlling interest in Berger, Jenson & Nicholson Ltd., a major British paint producer. In France, Hoechst executives encouraged a merger of two concerns, Roussel-Uclaf and Centrale de Dynamite, which together sell about $200 million worth of Pharmaceuticals a year -or almost as much as Rhone...
Paint cans and sponges in hand, and careful to use my shoulder rather than my wrist, I attacked the first wall with Sherwin-Williams gloss, trying for a flatheaded confrontation.

Discount operators, meanwhile, have had difficulty adhering to their old high-volume, low-overhead gospel.

Judy Garland, 45, had barely finished that bit of smile talk when she got a face full of brandy tossed at her by Sherwin Filiberti, 28, wife of one of Judy's business partners and a companion on what was supposed to be a convivial Pan Am flight to London. The drink throwing was followed, Judy claimed, by a screaming three-hour family-type argument between the Filibertis-all of which upset...
...Campaigns: "Scores of good advertisements have been discarded before they lost their potency, largely because their sponsors got sick of seeing them. The Sherwin Cody School of English ran the same advertisement ("Do You Make These Mistakes in English?") for 42 years, changing only the type face and the color of Mr. Cody's beard ... If you are lucky enough to write a good advertisement, repeat it until it stops pulling...
