BRUMFIELD AND BRUMFIELD':
TWO Names Add Up To One Person
By JON SOBELOFF I~t.
"I'm nuts, I admit it," said
Brumfield and Brumfield" as he
miled and leaned back in his chair
n the cluttered second floor back "
oom of his mimeographing and:
inding office.
"I'm both Brumfields," Paul D.
3rumfield explained. Stepping to
file in the front office, he pro-
luced a legal document showing
is "registratoin to do business un-
er an assumed name."
IF YOU SAY Brumfield and .
3rumfield twice maybe you will re-
nember it once, Brumfield point-
d out. "And in the telephone di-
ectory, Brumfield and Brum-:
jeld" in black type goes clear
,cross the page." :-
Brumfield credits his friend
Regent Roscoe O. Bonisteel with " :
the idea of the double name for :
the firm.>
The canny 62-year-old business- >
nan started out as a traveling re- :} ""+4
resentative setting up farm ma- " { < :
hinery for an American corpora- . .}
ion, in South America, Asia and .
all over the world."
"I'was what they call an expert,"
e recalled. "There ain't no such .t
fimal."
DRAFTED IN Jackson (his
home office) during World War I,
he got acquainted with many men
from Washtenaw County. So when
he came to Ann Arbor in 1923, he
stayed awhile, taking a job with
a printing firm.
The job lasted seven years un-
til "I was fired and went into
business for myself," he said.
Waring To Give
Journalism Talk
Houstoun Waring, editor of the
Littleton, Colo., "Independent,"
will speak on "Building a Tradition
of Fair Play" at 3 p.m. tomorrow
in the Rackham Amphitheater.
The lecture is fourth in the ser-
ies "The Press and Civil Liberties
in Crisis" sponsored by the jour-
nalism department.
In 1950 Waring and the "Inde-
pendent" were singled out by the
State Department as the model
weekly newspaper of the nation to
be featured in a motion picture
dealing with freedom of the press.
Waring established a journalism
department at the University of
Denver and served as its chairman
until 1939.

BRUMFIELD RELAXES AMID OFFICE CLUTTER
.>
He's had his own offices ever
since.
Julia Cross, "just about the best
typist in the country," has worked'
for Brumfield about 20 years. His
other assistant, Mrs. Ruth Brown
has also been with him 20 years.

BRUMFIELD IS the man who
binds masters and doctoral theses'
and Hopwood entries for students
here. "We just do the quick jobs
here-if someone comes in with an
old Bible, I send them somewhere
else."
And Brumfield and Brumfield
does mimeographing. Brumfield
ran through a stack of orders as
an example. Included were jobs
for the Ann Arbor Amateur
Hockey Association, American
Legion, the Women's Christian
Temperance Union, the Ameri-
can Association of University
Professors, the Ann Arbor Figure
Skating Club and a gas station.
The mimeographing jobs are run
off an ordinary hand-cranked ma..
chine. "It's got a motor, but un-
less you've got a suction feed, you
waste too much paper," he ex-
plained.

"But we can't turn out 3000
pages an hour by hand, with no
blanks, flo waste, no nothing,"
Brumfield said "They think we're
crazy but we have to make a pro-
fit."
"Every time we type a page, one
mistake on a stencil can mean 2,-
400 errors. If I do say so, we've
done an excellent job," he added.
* * *
HE DESCRIBES his typical
work-day: "I get up at six, I come
in and eat breakfast and sit
around and do the crossword puz-
zles 'till about eight, then I hang
around a little while after six at
night, go downtown to eat and
come back to my room across the
hall from the office."
"It's ridiculous," Brumfield
said, but we practically have
not advertised in 15 years." He
finds a letter to prospective cus-
tomers more effective.
"I don't look hungry, do I?" he
quipped. "Of course every busi-
ness should try to grow, but there
are taxes and government reports
to fill out and if you take an ad
with one magazine you have to
take one with the mall."
HIGH TAXES disturb Brum-
field. "Roosevelt ruined the coun-
try. He spent money when we did-
n't have it ,so we'll have to pay
for years and years."
"Professors are all pretty good
guys," Brumfield finds. He re-
called one day in 1936 when Prof.
Edgar N. Durfee of the Law
School was sitting in Brumfield's
office and a law student came up
to see if the text for Prof. Dur-
fee's class was ready.
Not noticing the professor, the
student asked if "Durfee's joke
book was ready yet."
When Prof. Durfee answered
"not yet," "the guy nearly faint-
ed," Brumfield remembered.
On April 1, Brumfield will sell
his business to Mrs. Cross. He'll
stay around a month to help out.
"Then I'm going to take a little
time off," he said.
