Abe S. Rosen
PR Executive/
Reporter
Abe S. Rosen, public relations executive and newspaper
reporter recently died. He was 94.
Mr. Rosen died Sunday,
October 2, 2011 from congestive heart failure at Abington
Memorial Hospital.
Mr. Rosen, born in W.
Philadelphia, was a graduate
of Overbrook High School. He
also attended Temple University for two years.
In 1935 Mr. Rosen started
his career as a teenage sports
reporter at the Evening Public
Ledger, working there until they
closed in 1942. He then became
a interim financial editor and
copy editor at the Philadelphia
Record from 1943 until 1944.
From 1944 until 1946, Mr.
Rosen served in the Army as an
agent with its Criminal Investigation Division. A 1978 Inquirer
story reported that he was also
editor in Shanghai of the China
edition of the Stars and Stripes
military newspaper.
Mr. Rosen worked for two
PR firms, Adelphia Associates
and Wolfson Enterprises, from
1947 until 1953.
As stated by his daughter,
the highlight of Mr. Rosen’s career was when he served as
deputy to Frederic R. Mann,
City Representative, in the late
1950s and the early 1960s.
Before serving as a Philadelphia city representative and
director of commerce from 1966
until 1968, Mr. Rosen was vice
president of public relations at
the firm, Al Paul Lefton.
Mr. Rosen was president
of the Philadelphia and Convention Bureau (which was the
agency’s name at that time)
from January 1968 until September 1970.
In 1970, Mr. Rosen cofounded with Allen Sommers,
Sommers-Rosen, a public relations firm, and then in 1983
he cofounded the RosenCoren Agency, where he was
active until recently.
Mr. Rosen was named the
Philadelphia Public Relations
Association Hall of Fame in
1988. He was also a member
of the Public Relations Society
of America.
Mr. Rosen is survived by
his daughters, Irene Garber
and Ellen Coren; four grandchildren; and many greatgrandchildren. Bonnie, his
wife, died in 1990.

NEW LOCATION, MARCH 7
FOR AREA ADVERTISING
& BUSINESS SHOW
The new Main Line PA area
site for the Philadelphia Advertising & Business Show is already
attracting a variety of exhibitors
and new attendee buyers.
By enlarging its business
base to the rich & growing area
of Montgomery,Chester, & Delaware counties — and includes
the many Philadelphia & area
buyers, who have been attending annually for many years —
show producers anticipate a record number of buyers.
The new location is inside
the Villanova Conference Center,
601 County Line Rd., Radnor, PA.
The show will be March 7,
2012, from 9 AM to 4:30 PM.
The Philadelphia Advertising
& Business Show has a history of
over 37 consecutive years.
The event is a direct sales
show, with exhibitors showing and offering their services
and products to the buyers who
come to the show to meet, learn
— and purchase.
Buyers that flock to the
show typically are from mediumsized companies.
“It’s where buyers come to
meet companies that can provide
income-producing ideas, services
and supplies”, Joe Ball, show
founder and producer, reports.
Many exhibitors give information and demonstrations on
new technologies, services and
products. They also offer complimentary samples and special
cost-saving introductory specials.

The management company
that formerly ran WHAT-1340AM, 25
Bala Ave., Ste. 114, Bala Cynwyd,
PA 19004 possibly experienced a
major financial loss recently, when
the long-time Philadelphia-region
radio station was sold.
The buyer, a former Philadelphia City Solicitor, and attorney, Ken Trujillo, told Philadelphia
Inquirer columnist Joseph N.
DiStefana (215-854-5194/JoeD@
phillynews.com) that the purchase
price was “less than the $5 million
paid by previous owner.”
The management company
for the seller was Mrash Hawk
Capital Management, LLC, 4000
Chemical Road, Plymouth Meeting, PA (484-534-2613).
The firms Brian A. Piacentino, a senior analyst, had been the
management company’s handson representative at WHAT-AM.
At that time the station’s
program format was “The Greatest Music of All Time”.
There were also brokered
programs, including ACT’s radio
division’s “The Business of Sports”
Weekly, hour-long interview show.
Trujillo has made programming at WHAT-1340AM all Spanish language. He calls it “El Zol”.
The station continues to operate from its former facilities.
At one time WHAT-AM featured programming aimed at
Philadelphia’s African-American
community. Star broadcasters
there included Mary Mason and
Georgie Wood.
Trujillo reported the new
owners have hired from Telemundo, the Spanish TV network, Uriel
Rendon to manage the station.
Trujillo also said “We’re improving the signal”.
The goal is to reach Latinos
throughout Philadelphia plus Chester County and into Delaware.
Trujillo is President of the
Board of Directors of the Greater
Philadelphia Hispanic Chamber
of Commerce.
His law offices, Trujillo, Rodriguez & Richards, LLC are at
1717 Arch St., Phila., PA 19103.
Broadcast Pioneers
Signal 50th Year
The Broadcast Pioneers of
Philadelphia marked the organizations 50th year at a recent
luncheon.
The luncheon also served as
a memorial tribute to the late Jim
O’Brien, a TV-6 iconic weatherman on-air reporter, and game
show host (“Dialing For Dollars”).
Steve Levy, a personal, longtime friend of Mr. O’Brien, and a
former Philadelphia TV-6 and TV10 news anchor, served as emcee.
Joining the tribute were:
Tom Burton, formerly of the
WFIL Radio, Famous 56 Prize
Patrol.
Marc Howard, former co-anchor
with O’Brien on Action News.
Lisa Thomas-Laury, anchor and
reporter for 6ABC “Action News”.

Lane vs. Mendte & CBS
They Keep Making News
A Philadelphia courtroom will be the site for the tabloid-rich
story subjects to emanate from the upcoming trial of TV-3’s former
co-anchors Alycia Lane vs. Larry Mendte and CBS.
There was legal wrangling over whether the trial should be in
New York City, or Philadelphia. Philadelphia has won. (?)
Larry Mendte
Alycia Lane
The Pennsylvania State Supreme Court ruled in late October
that the case would be tried here. It is a civil suit.
There was a criminal case in 2008, where Mendte pleaded guilty to intrusion of Lane’s e-mails. He
was sentenced to house arrest for six months, and probation.
Lane’s charges against CBS allege they failed to follow-up when she reported to management that
someone had entered and was disseminating messages and photos from her e-mail.

The Adv. Ghost and Future of Christmases
By Mike Mallowe
My mother, Anna, began
preparing for Christmas right after Labor Day. With her, it was
always a labor of love. She kept
her decorations ready for action,
and within reach throughout the
entire year.
I’ve never met a single businessperson who couldn’t learn
something from her.
She loved the Christmas
show at Wanamakers and the
old-fashioned customer service
and salesmanship at Strawbridges. She would never surrender her traditions, but she
always looked for the newest
thing, the best deal and the latest information. Anna expected
change and innovation for the
holidays.
She consumed news and
advertising.
She could spot a bargain
and spot a phony even more
quickly. I only wish that most
retailers now preparing for what
they fear will be a very tough
Christmas season had half of
her sagacity and energy.
My mother never sat in front
of a computer at home; in work
she still typed on a big old IBM
Selectric that she could pretty
much over-haul at her desk, like
a Cuban auto mechanic working
on an ancient Buick.
Yet, she clearly understood
the essence of current marketing: if the customer can’t get to
the product, then bring that product to the customer.
To put it another way – customize and improvise.
After a certain point, Anna,
who had only briey driven a car
in her life, couldn’t get around. It
happens to everybody.
But, Anna had no intention of
letting that stop her from missing
Christmas, birthdays and other
important family celebrations.
Once it became too difcult for
her to use SEPTA – which she
used like a champ – she resorted
to our most primitive form of online shopping: catalogue shopping.
It wasn’t what she wanted
to do and it robbed her of that
pulse-quickening retail experience that she adored, ghting
her way through the crowds in
the holiday stores. But, indomitable little lady that she was, she
learned to adapt.
For her, the catalogue season began well before Halloween. The mailmen must have
hated her house because almost every day a small handful
of catalogues were delivered.
Her tastes were varied: toys,
clothes, household items, shoes,
extra-large sizes (for me), candy,
steaks and chops, books, home
remedies, religious items. She
knew them all. There could not
have been many mailing lists
that she wasn’t on.
And, she used her telephone. She negotiated; tried to
get free shipping; faster shipping; extra deals for jumbo purchases. She truly loved her sons
and her grandchildren and great-
grandchildren and used every
dime she could get her hands on
to show it.
Cyber Monday might have
been lost on Anna, but she truly
appreciated Black Friday. As we
all know, the holiday retail and
advertising world has undergone
its own revolutions.
If you are still waiting for
them to come into your store or
place of business, forget it.
Online Advertising:
Dynamic
This new world has many
jarring realities, none as obvious
as the dynamic impact of online
advertising. Making money on
the web can still be tricky, but
using web-based advertising to
send customers to your business can work for almost anyone, given the right mixture of
message and placement.
If you haven’t yet experimented with web-based advertising, don’t put it off any longer.
In October, Ad Age magazine
sent a very clear signal about
the viability and vitality of internet advertising:
“The Interactive Advertising Bureau reports that
online advertising grew by 23%
during the rst half of this year,
well ahead of the 3% growth
reported for all measured media. Both search (+31%) and
display-related (+27%) advertising registered impressive gains.
Research by comScore shows
that consumer packaged-goods
are beginning to use digital as

a substitute for print to communicate price and promotion messages.”
However…
I will probably never be sold
on the concept that online advertising can ever truly take the
place of print advertising.
However, a strategy that
relies on both online and print,
especially during the current,
intense pre-Christmas season
seems like a win-win for just
about any kind of business.
In the meantime, it might
also be time for you to deal with
some additional realities of this
coming Christmas and all the
Christmases to follow:
Ideas
The Value-added Retailer:
Your stores have to offer more.
Personal shopping services for high-end places like
ne jewelers was a great idea
when it was rst introduced several years ago. Now, it’s mandatory. The same goes for fashion
shows, top shelf refreshments
and after-hours shopping for especially good customers.
Social Media Tie-ins: It’s all
about the coupons and the deep
discounts now, especially on the
internet.
If you can’t get a deal with
something like Living Social or
Groupon, then try to make the
next best arrangement that you
can.
Lay-Away Is Back: For a few
smart businesspeople, it never
went away, it just wasn’t pushed
that much. This year could be
the worst Christmas season
since the Depression. Even your
reliable customers are going to
need some form of lay-away because they can’t count on a big
– or any size – Christmas bonus.
Work with them and get the word
out as early as you can that layaway is back.
Free Shipping is Almost

shopper by offering some kind of
free, or almost free, shipping as

Appeal to Ethical, Conscientious Consumers: The younger
and better-educated your customers, the more likely they are
to be very aware of companies
that are branded as socially-conscious and earth-friendly.

Area Skin Care Mfg. Gains Nat’l Recognition For
Anti-Aging Serum From Swiss Apple Stem Cells
A local skin care manufacturing company has developed,
and released, a new skin-rejuvenating serum that can help combat skin aging.
And, its source comes from

It is being produced by Haddonfield, N.J.’s Reviva Labs,
a 38-year-old area firm with a
history of developing anti-aging
breakthrough products.
Wide Coverage
The
anti-aging
breakthrough, especially from such a
universal base, has brought attention to Reviva Labs from both
local and national news sources.
KYW radio featured the
product on news cast every 90
minutes, for a full day.
Skin care publications nationally have reported on it.
Bloggers on the Internet are
passing along word, worldwide.
Incidentally, Reviva Labs

Hire Enough Help for
the Holidays: It’s tough enough
to get a customer to walk through
your door. Once you succeed in
doing that don’t make the mistake
of keeping them waiting too long.
You can’t just abandon it
and you can’t risk cutting back
on it to the point of no return. Our
economy is based on consumer
spending – driven by advertising.
Bite the bullet and hire
enough temporary help to get
through the Christmas, New
Year and even Valentine’s Day

they will be used to near instantaneous feed-back. Don’t disappoint potential customers.

Figure Out Some Kind of

You need to get your message
out; keep reinforcing it and nd

your customer base.
This is called advertising.
Michelle Obama, first lady of
the U.S. and a lifestyle icon, has
been reported in Vogue Magazine
as using a Swiss apple serum.
Additionally, movie stars such as
Gwyneth Paltrow and Julianne
Moore are also reported as using
anti-aging products that contain
the Swiss apple stem cells that
help keep wrinkles at bay.

Written While Waiting for The Podiatrist,
The Opthalmologist, or Was It The Dentist?

Recently, she told me a story related to her by the daugh-
I’m a senior citizen in age,
not in activities.
I think I’m one of those who
t the expression, “The senior
citizens of today often are like the
middle-aged of 20 years ago.”
It’s good to think that. “Because I t it.”
My wife, Sandy, tells me,
however, should I be asked
“How old are you?,” to just say,” I
don’t give my age.”
“People will see you differently if you do,” she adds.
ter of a 90-year-old, Main Line
woman .
This lady for years played
bridge weekly with the same group.
Age never came up. She
was one of them.
On her 90th birthday, her
daughter thought it would be
nice to have a birthday party for
her — and invite her long-time
bridge friends.
She did.
It was the rst time her afternoon social group learned of
her age.
All of a sudden, she was
cut-off from the group.
They felt she was too old.
~~~
On the other hand, one of
our free-lance writers, Bonnie
Squires, has a mother 95-years
old.
She thinks young. She
gets around as she wants. She
is quick witted, up on current
events, and even prides herself
telling off- color jokes.
She’s young.
I’ve met her many times.
She is a delightful, up-to-date
dinner companion, with an opinion on mostly everything.
She is a treasure.
~~~
Yes, advancing years bring
declining abilities in many cases.
Sad. True.
On a personal basis when
I reached the age of 60 I made
resolutions to do things I don’t
like — Like. Example: exercise.
And to do things I do like —
laugh. A lot.

I also am fortunate in enjoying
my work. I tell people, “I haven’t
worked in 50 years.” It’s true.
That’s because everyday is
different. Different challenges.
Different assignments. Different
people.
So, what is the bottom line,
summary of this note?
I don’t know.
Hey, is that an indication of
being a senior citizen?

Yang-ming Delivers
Award-Worthy Fare
By: Bonnie Squires
Yangming, (1051 Conestoga Rd., Bryn Mawr, PA 19010),
is usually the restaurant for special events. Every Mother’s Day,
my brother takes my mother
there for a fabulous dinner, and
she loves the long-stemmed
rose which each female guest
receives that night
On Christmas Eve, if the holiday is not yours and you want to
go out for dinner, Yangming will
always be open for your pleasure.
And some years ago, my friends
gave me a bridal shower there
which was deluxe and delightful.
Since reading about Yangming’s recently having been
named “Best Chinese Restaurant in America”, and seeing the
place highlighted on the CBS
“Sunday Morning” show, it was
time to go there on just any old
night, not just a special occasion.
So four of us set out to the Bryn
Mawr elegant eating establishment, and we were greeted by
owner Michael Wei.
He proudly pointed out his
wall of commendation plaques.
It included the most recent
award which was received in a
San Francisco ceremony, which
joined a Zagat plaque and many
other awards.
I always enjoy a restaurant,
regardless of the cuisine, which
has white linen tablecloths and
a live spray of flowers in a vase.
Beautiful artwork, dimmed lighting at night, candles on the tables,
all set the mood for an enjoyable
dinner, even before you begin to
peruse the very extensive menu.
Wei instructed his waiter, Eddy,
to inform the chef to prepare
platters of assorted appetizers
for us. So all we had to do was
to order our main platter. The
menu is extensive.
There is a meat section, a
poultry section, a seafood section, a lo mein section, a pasta
and rice section, and a vegetable
section to the menu. Plus salads,
soups, fried rice choices and a
“miscellaneous” section.
When the appetizers were
served, each of us receiving five
or six samples on a white china
plate, we began eating with gusto.
For me, the pear salad, the lamb
dumplings, the vegetarian spring
roll and the chicken sattay were
scrumptious. For my dining companions, the biggest hit was the
shrimp with walnuts. (Since we
were given so many appetizers,
some of which were not even on
the menu, all I can tell you about
price is that the menu appetizers
ranged from $4.50 for Chinese
pizza to $7.95 for Tri-mushroom
dumplings, $9.50 for shrimp in
phyllo dough, and $10.95 for
golden crabmeat purse.)
The main platters we ordered
included Golden Asian spicerubbed rack of lamb ($26.75); half
a Peking duck ($18.75), pancakes
with tender duck at tableside;
shrimp and scallops with vegetables ($16.95); and shrimp with
honey walnuts ($17.95).
The appetizers had been so
filling that none of us was able to
finish off the big platters. So we
asked Eddy to pack up each of our
leftovers, which fed us for a day or
two after this memorable dinner.
We barely had room for a
coule of chocolate ice creams,
which we shared, and a gorgeous cake slice (which we
could not finish).
There were several private
rooms with celebrations and dinner meetings going on at each
end of the main dining room, and
everyone seemed to be enjoying
the food and the service.
Wei owns three other Chinese
restaurants — CinCin in Chestnut
Hill, Nectar in Berwyn, and Mandarin Garden in Willow Grove.
For reservations call 610-5273200. Free parking on premises.
Yang Ming restaurant owner Michael Wei points proudly to his Number
1 ranking.

Wait for the kids and grandkids to ask about

real curiosity about history kicks in when they
are older and you are gone.)
Recognize that most people regret that
they did not ask more about the lives of
their parents and grandparents. Let a pro
writer/reporter lay out all the details.
Put off documenting your timeline and all
those great little stories. You’ll still remember
them in 10 years, right?
Create a life story in digital format – with
