New York, Feb. 21.—A North
Carolina farm -boy, already recog
nized as an outstanding Ameri
can industrial leader, today gain
ed new stature in the business-
world. He is E. H. Dime, a native
of Mecklenburg county, and now
president of the Colgate-Palm-
olive-Peet Company.
After less than two years un
der his leadership, the giant Col-
gate-Palmolive-Peet Company, as
revealed by a preliminary report
of profits and sales for 1939, has
established a new record for to
tal world-wide sales. The prev
ious sales record for one yjar
was made in 1929, the last of the
boom years.
The 1939 sales totaled |101.-
935.438, not including those of
the German, Italian and Polish
subsidiaries, while the previous
boom sales of 1929 amounted to
$100,565,165, including those of
every foreign subsidiary of the
company.
Mr. Little was born on a farm
eight miles out oLChaxiotte, the
third from the eldest” of 10
children, and went to work in
Charlotte as a gangling you ns-
ster of 17 for J. S. Withers, the
county cotton weigher. Following
the custom of that day, he room
ed and boarded with the Withers
family, and after two years be
came a salesman in Charlotte for
a wholesale and retail grocery
finm. Two years later he joined
the old Oolgate Company as a
soap salesman.
In 1906, when just 21, Mr.
Little was made district sales
manager, in Memphis, Tenn., for
the Colgate Company. His rapid
rise in the business world seem
ed imminent, but he contracted
tuberculosis and was hospitalized
in Denver, Colo. There Miss Suz
anne Trezevant of Memphis, his
fiance, joined him. As she nursed
him back to health, they were
married, and at the end of three
years. Mr. Little once again -be
came active in the business world.
He wa.s advised to live quietly in
an agreeable climate, but has
lived a strenuous life, traveling
throughout the world and living
in every kind of climate.
In 1914, he joined the old
Palmolive Company and .as
made district sales manager on
the Pacific Coast, with head
quarters in I>os Angeles. The
Palmolive sales in his territory,
extending from the Pacific Coast
to the Rockies, soon rose to a new
high. In 1919 he was transferred
to New York, first as district
and later as divisional manager.
There he reorganized his com
pany’s largest and most import
ant territory. In less than two
years the territory’s poor sales
record was reversed and the larg
est sales volume the company
ever enjoyed was secured.
In 1924, Mr. Little was made
assistant general sales manager
of the Palmolive Company, and
in July, 1926, he became general
manager of the Palmolive foreign
business. During the next seven
years, accompanied by his wife,
Mr. Little spent most of his time
in foreign lands. He organized
foreign subs-idiaries, reorganized
sales forces, and opened new for
eign markets.
In 1933—five years after the
organization of the present Col-
gate-Palmollve-Peet Company—
Mr. Little -was named vice presi
dent in charge of the company’s
sales and advertising. In April,
1938, he was elected president
of the company. Since then the
business of the company, wWqh
traces back to the foundation of
Colgate & Company In 1806, has
rapidly limproTed.
It is one of America’s giant In-
doetrial firms asd Mr. LttUe, the
North ICoTOlioa farm boy. has:
a place of emlawtee In tho
American business world because
of his achievements. The com-pany
has plants scattered across the
United States and in many for
eign countries and employs thbus- j
ands upon thousands of -workers. .
Maupin Gives Hints
To Turkey Gro’wers
Successful turkey production
depends upon saving and growing
to maturity a large number of
poults from each brood started,
according to C. J. Maupin, exten
sion poultryman at State College.
Since good^ management and
strict .sanitation are highly Im
portant in Turkey production,
most .succes-sful turkey growers
use artificial incubation and
brooding methods, .because sani
tation can be more easily con
trolled.
Most of the tur-key crop is pro-
I duced between. February and
' J-une, the normal breeding season.
1 In general farm flocks, an aver-
jage of 10 to 15 mature birds may
-be secured from each turkey hen
used in the spring breeding pen. i
Where special care and attention
I are ptunlr-’-ed. it may be possible
to grow 20 to 25 turkeys from
'each hen.
I Whether eggs are set under
! hens or in an incubator, the first
' requirement for successful hatch
ing is fresh eggs. If hens are con
fined to a small yard or range,
land this is a good turkey prac
tice. the eggs should be gathered
j twice daily. They should be stored
- in a well-ventilated room or cel
lar with a preferred temperature
of 50 to 60 degrees^ If they are
to be kept longer than a week,
they should be turned gently
once daily. For best hatching re
sults, the eggs should not be kept
more than 10 days.
Where hovers are used in the
brooding house, the temperature
should -be kept around 90 to 95
degrees at the hover edge for sev
eral days, or the general house
temperature should be at least 70
to 75 degrees near the floor. The
exact temperature is of minor Im-
I>ortance if the poults are kept
comfortahle and good ventilation
maintained. Feeding the poults
may I)e much the same as for
baby chicks.
