Gairoard said he also has resigned as chairman of the Shears and Scissors Industry Association of the U.S.A., which he also headed during World War I. The association consists of a majority of the shears and scissors manufactures in this country.
Gairoard had been connected with the Wiss concern since 1898. He was at one time general manager and in recent years was in charge of sales.
The Kraeuter concern is making tools for the Army ordnance and quartermaster corps and for the aircraft industry. Kroydon antennae, made similar to golf club shafts, are used in tanks, Army trucks and in the construction of walkie-talkie radios.
Gairoard's home is at 1 Beverly road, West Orange.
