Ranging in time from 1946 to 1950, Series 13 contains materials not organized in Charles Luckman’s subject files for his years at Pepsodent and Lever Brothers, found in Series 1. Especially valuable here is the correspondence concerning Luckman’s celebrated resignation from Lever Brothers in 1950 (Box 1ov, Folder 4). The series also includes stockholders’ meetings and minutes (again valuable for understanding the workings of a major corporation), reports and booklets re the move of Lever Brothers to New York from Cambridge, newspaper and magazine articles, and photographs.
