679 



A PROMINENT COLOR MANUFACTURER 



EDWARD MoLWEUX Waldo, senior partner of E. M. & F. 

 Waldo, color manufacturers and importers, 11 Broadway, 

 New Vcirk. N. Y., is a notable instance of the achievements of 



perseverance when attended by an 

 aptitude for business. He was 

 born in Brooklyn, New York, in 

 1884 and attended the Trinity 

 Church School and Staten Island 

 Academy, but left school in 1900 

 to begin his business career. 



His first employment was ad- 

 dressing envelopes for Elms & 

 Johnson, dry goods. New York 

 City. Later he worked as a mes- 

 senger for the Western Electric 

 Co., as office boy and then ex- 

 change clerk for Baring, Morgan 

 & Co., New York, N. Y., bankers; 

 and as stenographer and office 

 assistant to the advisory committee 

 E. M. Waldo of the United States Steel Corpo- 



ration, New York, N. Y. 

 Selling then attracted him, and he became a salesman for J. F. 

 Hitchcock, paper merchant, New York, N. Y. Later he went 

 in the same capacity to the G. Siegle Co., color manufacturers. 

 New York, N. Y., in which position he acquired the experience 

 which enabled him to engage in business for himself and organize 

 the firm of which he is senior partner. 



Mr. Waldo has found himself too busy with the conduct of 

 his own multiplying affairs to seek or accept office in outside 

 organizations. He is, however, a member of the Drug and 

 Chemical Club, Paint. Oil and Varnish Club of New York, The 

 Rubber Association of America, Inc., New York Board of Trade 

 and Transportation and the New York Credit Men's Association.

 preparing to market a 31 by 4 straight-side "Royal Cord" tire. 

 This new size will give the smaller cars the same features of per- 

 formance derived from the 33 by 5 on larger models, and is of 

 particular interest as being an extension of the superior straight- 

 side principle into those sizes of tires which have heretofore been 

 exclusively of the clincher-bead type.
