Wasson Joins Black, Starr & Gorham As General Manager of Their Stores

Oliver Wasson, formerly vice president and general manager of Mermod-Jaccard King Jewelry Co., St. Louis, Mo., has joined Black, Starr & Gorham as general manager of their stores replacing Edward Krehbiel, who has resigned.

Mr. Wasson, who has considerable experience as a merchandising executive, is well qualified for his new position. In 1933 he joined Scruggs-Vandervoort-Barney department store as a buyer of stationery, leather goods, gifts and silver. He rose rapidly and soon took under his management other departments in the store. In 1936 Mr. Wasson became divisional merchandise manager of small wares and ready-to-wear accessories. Also in 1936 he was asked by Scruggs-Vandervoort-Barney the parent company, to assume the management of Mermod-Jaccard-King Jewelry Co. This jewelry house is a separate corporation, located under separate lease-hold in the same building as the department store.

At this time Mr. Wasson was elected by the board of directors a vice president and general manager of Mermod-Jaccard-King and a member of the board of directors of this company. Thus he enjoyed the distinction of being a member of one of the oldest retail establishments remaining in continuous business in the country. The firm was founded in 1829 when St. Louis was a little trading post and with each succeeding year has gained prestige until now it is a world renowned house. Under his leadership Mermod-Jaccard-King grew rapidly, ever expanding their volume and prestige to a point not heretofore reached in their history.

Mr. Wasson will manage Black, Starr & Gorham’s three stores located at Fifth Ave. & 48th St., New York; East Orange, N. J. and White Plains, N. Y.
