Office profile: Columbus;

              Several times a week during
the winter Wayne Ashby walks
briskly from the H&S office
and down East Broad Street
to the Athletic Club of
Columbus, an H&S client.
A few minutes later he is
playing the first of several
hard games of squash.
To watch from the gallery
and observe Wayne's speed
and agility in this fastest
of court games is to marvel
at his energy. In fact,
he leaves many men ten years
his junior panting in his
wake. He breathes deeply
and perspires like his
opponents, but the effort
he puts into the game helps
him keep in shape. The
five club championships that
Wayne has won on the squash
courts tell the story.
The partner in charge of the
H&S office in the Ohio
capital city is a man on the
move—and not just in
athletics. He knows
everybody in town, or so it
seems when you walk down
the street with him and see
how many people in downtown
Columbus greet him on a
first-name basis. "Be
involved" is the example he
offers to the younger men
coming up on his staff.
Wayne Ashby is a living
example of the value to a
professional organization of
having an outgoing, warm
personality to go with the
abilities of the seasoned
professional and a
willingness to "be involved."
The success of the Columbus
Office speaks well of his
way of doing business.
When Wayne Ashby merged
his own public accounting
firm with H&S in 1961, the
office had only five people.
As the practice grew since
then, the office had to
expand its quarters in the
Empire Building three times
in nine years, more than
doubling its work load every
three years. In October 1970
the office moved into the
new Midland Building,
renting the entire nineteenth
floor and subletting about a
third of the 10,500 square
