Clarence L. Holte (extreme left), marketing supervisor for the world-famous advertising agency, Batten, Barton, Durstine & Osborn, was honored recently by the National Association of Market Developers for creating the Old Taylor Ingenious Americans program, which highlights the contribution of great Black Americans to science, culture, industry, and the arts.

Mr. Holte is seen above standing beside busts of several of the Ingenious Americans made from originals by the great Black sculptress, Inge Hardison. The Old Taylor Company sells the busts at cost, $5.00 apiece. The company has also distributed hundreds of copies of two booklets setting forth the achievements of many of America's great Black men. Shown with Mr. Holte in the photo are, left to right, Vincent Cunningham, representatives of the Old Taylor Distilling Company, which sponsors the program; Joseph Black, vice president of Special Markets for Greyhound Lines, Inc. and former Brooklyn Dodgers baseball pitcher; Charles J. Peracchi, merchandising manager for the Old Taylor organization in Boston; and John Tyler of Promotions Unlimited.

The award was made at a ceremony held during a luncheon at Estelle's Riviera Room on Tremont Street in Boston. It was attended by a Black and White audience of 150 persons from diversified fields. Mr. Black, who was the principal speaker, extolled the Old Taylor Company for initiating the Ingenious Americans campaign and for its deep significance in today's society.
