AYEAR
OF
GROWTH
AND
MERGERS
During the year just past, as Haskins &
Sells approached and passed its 75th
Anniversary, five significant mergers
have added strength to the Firm's professional
staff and broadened the scope
of its operations. By uniting with strong
firms based in Detroit, Boston, New
Haven, Hartford and San Antonio,
H&S has gained the services of the
twenty-four partners whose pictures
and biographical sketches appear on
these pages.
Rutten, Welling & Company of
Detroit, with offices in Cleveland, Ohio
and Port Huron, Michigan, merged its
practice with H&S on September 21,
1969. Founded in 1930, Rutten, Welling
& Company had a strong, broadly
based practice with a professional staff
of about 100 at the time of the merger
with H&S. Twelve former Rutten,
Welling partners are now partners of
H&S. The union of the two firms added
the Port Huron Office to the H&S
roster as a sub-office of Detroit.
Spark, Mann & Company of Boston
merged with H&S on June 1, 1970,
bringing six new partners to our Firm.
One of them, John J. Mclsaac, Sr., is
the father of John, Jr., a principal in
our Boston Office. Spark, Mann was
organized in 1919 and at the time of
the merger was one of the oldest local
firms in the Greater Boston area. A
substantial portion of its practice was
in the Merrimack Valley cities north
of Boston, including Lawrence and
Lowell, Massachusetts and Manchester,
New Hampshire.
The establishment of an H&S office
in San Antonio occurred on May 31,
1970 when the merger of Haskins &
Sells with Lewis & Montag took effect.
Heading the new H&S San Antonio
Office is Miller Montag, a partner in
the merged firm, and the newly elected
president of the Texas Society of CPAs.
H&S opened its Hartford, Connecticut
office on June 1, 1970 as it merged
with Stanley H. Malis of that city,
with Mr. Malis becoming a partner of
Haskins & Sells. The new office in the
Connecticut capital city is conveniently
located to serve clients in the densely
populated, industrialized area of that
sector of New England.
On July 26, 1970 our Firm merged
with Weinstein & Timm of New Haven,
Connecticut, bringing four new partners
to H&S. The newly merged firm
was organized in 1936 and has grown
steadily in recent years. Its union with
our New Haven Office, where Ralph
T. Bartlett is partner in charge, gives
our Firm fresh strength to serve clients
in Connecticut and environs.

and attended high school in his
home town. After military service in

Mr. Ball was a tax specialist while with
Rutten, Welling & Company in Detroit

merger with H&S in 1969. He enjoys
