How Celanese Does It O M M E N D A P. L E , says Financial Post, is the v. program of Celanese CorMiration of America to keep the financial community of Canada informed in the widest sense of its plans and progress. ', The program had its curtain-raiser in Toronto tile other evening when some 200 bankers, insurance men and other leaders in the financial community were guests of Celanese Corporation president, Harold Blancke. In a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere Iflancke gathered his guests together, told them how his $40 million Columbia Cellulose plant at Prince Rupert was making out, reported on progress in construction of the $54 million Canadian Chemical plant at Edmonton, sketched in Celanese Corporation over-all policy, business philosophy, plans and expectations not only as they affected purely Canadian operations but in the world scope. Followed a blanket invitation to "put any question you want." ; Thus did the men who raise the money for Q-lanese Corporation enterprises in Canada get a first-hand report on how the investment they guide is put to work. ; It's a policy Illaneke has followed in U.S. for veral years and this yearly get-together is now assured as a permanent feature of the Celanese iiivestor-relations effort in Canada.
