HIGH POSITION

AUSTRALIAN APPOINTMENT. Due to the fact that Mr Horace W. Remington, managing director of Col-gate-Palmolive-Peet Co., Ltd., has been appointed to the high executive position of export sales manager at the head office in America, Mr John V. Moran, an Australian, now succeeds Mr Remington as managing director of the Australian organization. Mr Moran, who served four years in the Great War, joined the Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Co., Ltd., at the inception of the Australian business in 1921, then known as the Palmolive Co. (Australasia) Ltd.

Commencing as a salesman with the organization, Mr Moran is credited with having sold the first cake of Palmolive soap in Australia. He has gradually worked his way up in a comparatively short time and now with the assumption of the managing directorship of this large and well-known company he achieves a unique place as one of the few Australians to be entrusted with the sole direction of such an important American, corporation. Cheerful, aggressive and well equipped with the driving force that makes its mark in any American organization, Mr Moran is as well-known throughout Australia and New Zealand, as he is personally known to the executives of the head office organization in Chicago, who selected him for one of the most outstanding positions that Australian business has to offer.
