John Edward Plumb, son of Leslie Watts Plumb, writes the following in regards to the Dr. Plumb's pipes: | |||
<blockquote> I am the son of the late Leslie Watts Plumb, FCA. Before World War II, he managed the business affairs of a smoking pipe factory Verguet Freres/ Marechal Ruchon at St Claude in the French Jura Mountains... where his Plumb Family lived in a flat adjacent to the factory premises. | |||
He lent his name to the Dr Plumb Smoking Pipe & I had always understood that he played a part in its promotion & design of the pipe's unique aluminum cooling filter system. I was not aware of the 1925 contribution made by J.B.Rubinovich, GBD's Parisian Sales Manager... mentioned in your Web-site Article.... | |||
For your further interest, I further attach* (plumb-russi 04) a copy of a 01/10/1940 Article in the Magazine called "TOBACCO" featuring... "Dr." Plumb of the Pipes. | |||
Yours truly... JOHN EDWARD PLUMB, FCA CTA [Retired] </blockquote> | |||
