General Notes: Husband - William Stuart Perry

---

After the completion of his preliminary education in the public schools of his birthplace, he at­tended the University of Pittsburgh. The earlier years of his career were devoted to newspaper and advertising work, first with the “Oil City Derrick,” followed by service at the “Pittsburgh Press,” Pittsburgh, Pennsyl­vania. A year was then spent in the treasury department of the Peoples Natural Gas Company. In 1929 he re­turned to the advertising business in the then new and expanding industry of radio broadcasting. He started with WLBW, in Oil City, which was subsequently moved to Erie, Pennsylvania, where it operated under the same name. In 1934 he left the broadcasting business and associated himself with the Baldwin Laboratories of Saegertown, Pennsylvania, as director of sales and adver­tising. At his present business, he was associated with the direct development of this firm. Franklin Plastic & Die Casting was engaged in the cus­tom molding of thermoplastic materials. The company's customers include automotive, refrigerator, and radio companies; War Department work, plumbing applica­tions, novelties, clocks, jewelry, and photographic items. Although a newcomer to Franklin, Mr. Perry occupied an important position in its industries and took an active part in the city's general life. He was a member of the Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the Elk's Club, and the Franklin Club, as well as several organiza­tions in other cities, including the Society of the Plastic Industry, the Press Club of Erie, the American Manage­ment Association, and Delta Tau Delta. He was a Republi­can in politics.
