NotablePresident of Muzak Corp.
BiographyLike the Encyclopædia Britanica, Muzak is another of the profitable enterprises of shrewd ex-Manhattan Ad Man William B. (Benton & Bowles) Benton, 50, now Democratic Senator from Connecticut. He bought the seven-year-old Muzak company in 1941, after a succession of owners had lost millions trying to make a go of it. To run Muzak, Benton hired handsome, go-getting Harry E. Houghton, another ex-adman, and he turned the trick by convincing industrialists that music improves workers' morale and efficiency. Houghton quadrupled the number of Muzak's customers, brought it from a near loss to a tidy but unreported profit. Muzak provides hardly any direct service to the customer. Instead, it sells the Muzak concession to individuals in different cities and takes a 10% share of their gross from charges of $35 a month and up for the service.
