THOSE YOUNG BETAS who read inspirational stuff to get ideas on how to climb to positions of prominence in business and finance will find this brief biographical\u00a0sketch of Judson Shirley Sayre, Ohio Wesleyan ’20, challenging. Since October, 1941,\u00a0he has been the President of Bendix Home\u00a0Appliances. In his early forties, Brother\u00a0Sayre is one of the top ranking sales executives of the country and one does not have\u00a0to be much of a prophet to see that there\u00a0are bigger jobs ahead for him to fill.<\/p>\n

Jud came to New York in 1920 from the\u00a0campus at Delaware, Ohio. While taking\u00a0graduate work at Columbia University, he\u00a0became the Sales Promotion Manager of the\u00a0big West Side Y.M.C.A. His genius as a\u00a0salesman, sales manager and organizer made\u00a0itself manifest early in his career. He him\u00a0self offered one of the first courses in sales\u00a0man ship\u00a0ever given in New York. it was\u00a0outstandingly successful.<\/p>\n

From the Y.M.C.A. he went to the Alex under Hamilton Institute, then in the height\u00a0of its glory and fame. The Institute officials, recognizing his talents, sent him to the\u00a0Southwest. For five years he traveled\u00a0through Texas, New Mexico, Arizona,\u00a0Colorado, Montana and through the Mid \u00a0dlewest and South. Jud developed business\u00a0in this territory that no one had ever been\u00a0able to do.<\/p>\n

His great success as a personal salesman\u00a0resulted in his appointment as a trainer of\u00a0all new salesmen in his territory comprising the states mentioned. For five years Jud\u00a0did yoeman work as a salesman, executive,\u00a0trainer. Finally, in 1925, somewhat wearied by constant travel, he came to New York\u00a0for a conference with the Institute officials.<\/p>\n

Jud asked the Vice President in charge\u00a0of sales, “What is my next job?” To which\u00a0the officer replied, “Mr. Sayre, your next job is my job and I have no intention of\u00a0resigning.” Jud quit on the spot. This was in early\u00a01925. He resolved then and there never\u00a0to get into a business where promotion was\u00a0barricaded by insurmountable obstacles.<\/p>\n

At that time the Kelvinator Corporation\u00a0was having tough sledding financially and\u00a0otherwise. He went there because every thing wasn’t all right. In July, 1925, he\u00a0became a branch manager and early in\u00a01929 he was appointed national sales man ager. The renaissance of this corporation\u00a0coincides with his appointment. His great\u00a0work there resulted in his appointment as manager for Montgomery & Ward\u00a0pany where he was in charge of all their appliances, \u00a0directing all designing. purchasing, manufacturing and \u00a0selling. When he left Kelvinator, as a token of the high \u00a0esteem in which he was held, the officers of the \u00a0corporation presented him with a 16 cylinder Cadillac.<\/p>\n

In July, 1935, he went to the Radio Corporation of America as assistant to the president. Then. late in 1936, when Vincent Bendix searched the country to get the best available sales executive to direct the designing and manufacturing and selling of the Bendix Home Appliances, jud was chosen and made vice president. Five years later in October of 1941, he was elected president.<\/p>\n

He has a large future ahead of him. His success, I should \u00a0say, could be epitomized by saying three things; he is socially minded; he masters every detail of every job he un dertakes; his vision is boundless. No narrow world can\u00a0ever hold him. Jud is a national figure.<\/p>\n
