Made Manager At Hemingrays
Promotion of W. Paul Zimmerman to sales and plant manager of the Hemingray division of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company was made public yesterday from the general offices of Owens-Illinois Glass Company in Toledo.
Mr. Zimmerman has been with the local company for more than thirteen years, having come to Muncie as secretary-treasurer of the Hemingray Glass Company in 1920 after foreign service during the World War. He has been assistant to the manager during the past several years, when Philip W. McAbee was head of the local plant. He is a graduate of Miami University at Oxford, O. To Continue Present Lines. The departure of Mr. McAbee for an extended trip to California brought out the organization changes in the local division of the Owens-Illinois company. It is understood that Mr. McAbee retires from active connection with the Hemingray division, but that he expects to continue with the parent company through affiliation with the general headquarters of the organization at Toledo, upon his return from the coast. Mr. Zimmerman has already assumed his new duties as plant and sales manager. He said yesterday that it is the intention of the general management to continue the manufacture and development of glass insulators and allied products here at the Muncie plant. Every facility of the Owens-Illinois Glass Company will be extended the Hemingray division in the further exploitation of the field in which the name "Hemingray" has been so long preeminently recognized. |
