* In 1927, John W. Hill opened the doors of his public relations office in Cleveland, Ohio, following an 18-year career as a reporter, editor, and financial columnist.
* When a client’s bank went out of business during the Depression, he took into partnership the bank’s public relations director, Donald Knowlton.
* Despite the difficult economic climate, Hill & Knowlton grew rapidly as Hill gained a reputation for effectiveness and as an advocate of enlightened corporate policies and straight-dealing with the press.
* Hill moved the firm’s headquarters to New York in 1934, to serve as public relations counsel to the American Iron and Steel Institute. Knowlton stayed in Ohio and operated Hill & Knowlton of Cleveland as a separate entity for several years.
* Hill managed the firm until 1962, and remained active in it until shortly before his death in New York City in 1977.
