Palace Progress notes how nine Las Vegas area Junior Achievement companies organized by local high schools created and sold their own products with support from IBM, Standard Oil, EG&G, First National Bank, Southwest Gas, Sears Roebuck, Central Telephone, Nevada Power and Montgomery Ward. Eight survived the year with seven profitable, one liquidated. program managers seek more funding as bylaws cap at nine firms without a full-time executive. The piece invites attendance at next Tuesday’s Rivier at 11:30 AM with NASA official Paul Haney as guest speaker.
