By bearing down on market studies, he helped boost the agency’s billings from $46 million in 1946 to a 1948 rate of more than $50 million. Last week in Manhattan, at 32, Marion Harper was made president as Founder H. K. Mc Cann, 68, moved up to board chair man.

She is now assistant di rector of McCann-Erickson’s copy research department. Having no chil dren, Mr. & Mrs. Harper sometimes stay at the office until 2 a.m., working together.
