Monsanto FROM (LOCATION) SUBJECT : REFERENCE : TO : /-OO'il-r-- St. Louis 3/1/65 1929 ORGANIZATION & FUNCTION OUTLINE MANUAL Your 11/30/64 MEMO Mrs. Paula Cline I.have perused the attached but I do not remember having prepared it. It was probably done under my supervision with the help of Mr. Sam Allender. It has all the earmarks of having been done in 1928, because no mention is made of Merrimac Chemical or Rubber Service, which we absorbed in 1929. The names of Philip Stockton and Charles Belknap as mem bers of the Board (first page) must have been added in 1929j when we absorbed Merrimac. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. ^ jpl'dg^r M. j^ueeny 1/ MCO 1543736 TOWOLDMONOOI6095 /- A ul BOARD Oiy UlRjiClUKE John r. Queeny, Chairman ' E. M. Rueeny ' G.
