THE PASSING OF RUDOLPH SPETH Rudolph Speth, treasurer of the Eastman Kodak Company, and an important figure in the growth of that business since he joined it in 1902, died of septicemia, February 22 in Rochester. His age was 64. Mr. Speth was born in Bavaria and educated at the University of Wurzburg. He reached the United States in 1892 and spent in Chicago most of the ten years until he joined Kodak. He was an accountant with the firm of Price, Waterhouse & Company when he was engaged by George Eastman. Mr. Speth played a substantial part in the expansion of the company that had just begun when he entered the Kodak organization. He was active in establishment of Kodak subsidiaries in foreign countries, in acquisition of retail establishments in the United States, and in organization of the factories for the manufacture of miscellaneous photographic products. His foreign travels in the interests of the company took him to many parts of the world. Mr. Speth became comptroller in 1919. He was elected treasurer in 1928 and a director in 1929. As treasurer, he succeeded to an office left unfilled when the late Mr. Eastman, founder of the company, resigned as president and treasurer in 1925 to become chairman of the board of directors. He was a director of two Rochester banks, and president of the board of directors of the Hochstein School, a "settlement" music school for carrying high-class instruction to talented children who would otherwise lack a musical education. During the war Mr. Speth was one of the outstanding figures in the Red Cross and Liberty Loan organizations in Rochester.
