A Bullish Bowne

Bowne suffered a setback shortly into the new year when it lost its president, leader and good friend. James P. O'Neil passed away in January following a brief illness. According to Varty, it was O'Neil who recognized the need to broaden the managerial base at the New York headquarters, which prompted the company to bring in Swanson from the Secaucas, NJ, plant and Varty from Cleveland.
