Abstract:

Largely routine policy correspondence of Dr. Attilio Giannini, president and chairman of the board. Compiled by Giannini's assistant, Thomas L. Walker, and by Leo F. Samuels, assistant secretary, this file contains almost daily correspondence between Giannini, who remained in Beverly Hills, California, and the corporation's home office in New York City. The correspondence deals with the daily affairs of the corporation, with occasional letters relating to the personal affairs of Giannini and Walker. The file consists almost exclusively of the most routine of policy correspondence. No mention is made of the circumstances surrounding Giannini's appointment to the presidency, nor to the reasons for his abrupt resignation nor to the upheavals among the stockholders during this period.
