Alex Brown
Officials Visit
Jerusalem (JPFS) — Top man-
agement of the U.S. investment
bank Alex Brown will visit Israel
next month to examine invest-
ments in the technology field in
an attempt to substantially in-
crease its involvement with Is-
raeli-based firms.
The delegation will arrive on a
three-day visit at the invitation
of Prime Minister Shimon Peres
and Dov Lautman, the prime
minister's special emissary for
economic development.
The managers will be guests of
Giza Group, a Tel Aviv invest-
ment firm which serves as Alex
Brown's local representative.
Founded in 1800, Alex Brown

management will meet with Is-
rael's leading financial figures,
corporate executives and top de-
cision makers in the investment
community.
Ze'ev Holtzman, general man-
ager of Giza, said "Alex Brown ex-
pects many business
opportunities to arise in Israel
during the next few years. So far,
they have worked only with the
big firms, but during their visit
they will meet with large and
small firms at the start-up stage."
Last year, Alex Brown was
ranked No. 1 in the United States
in the number of initial public of-
ferings managed, with 64 trans-

Jaffa Name
Needs Approval
Jerusalem (JPFS) — The Citrus
Marketing Board is considering
taking legal action against a
number of overseas food distrib-
utors that are using the Jaffa lo-
gotype and trade name without
its approval.
The Jaffa brand name is used
to market Israeli citrus fruit. The
board claims that overseas food
manufacturers believe customers
consider Jaffa products to be a
high quality.
According to the board, Jaffa
is one of the 10 most popular
trade names worldwide, along-
side Coca-Cola, McDonald's and
Levi's.
According to the board, there
are dozens of products worldwide
that use the Jaffa name. These
include Columbia, which mar-
kets bananas under the Jaffa la-
bel; an orange juice named Jaffa
Apelsin in Sweden; sweets
named Allen's Jaffa in Australia;
and a variety of citrus-related
products in Finland, England
and Holland.
Board General Manager Mena
Davidson said the board will con-
sider giving certain manufactur-
ers approval to use the Jaffa
name on condition the products
meet quality criteria and do not
compete with Israeli citrus fruit.
So far, the board has given
Fattoria Scaldasole, the third-
largest dairy in Italy, approval to
label its grapefruit yogurt prod-
uct with the Jaffa label.
