George V. Horton, spent 40 years
with Scripps Howard newspapers
George Vreeland Horton, who held numerous top advertising and business positions coast to coast during 40 years with Scripps Howard Newspapers, died June 2 in Stuart, Fla., where he lived in retirement. He was 92.
Mr. Horton was president and business manager of the Indianapolis Times from 1955 until it was closed in 1966. Early in his career, his many other Scripps Howard assignments included managing of advertising offices in Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia and Atlanta.
"He was a brilliant guy," said Edward W. Estlow, retired president and CEO of The E. W. Scripps Co. "He had such a sharp, quick mind and attractive personality that the company placed a great deal of faith in him and gave him a lot of responsibility."
After graduation from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania in 1928, Mr. Horton was hired as a secretary in the New York office of Roy W. Howard, then chairman of Scripps Howard. At Penn, Mr. Horton had been assistant business manager of the Daily Pennsylvania n and business manager of the Pennsylvania n Pictorial, displaying a knack for sales in both capacities.
Just weeks into his Scripps Howard career, he was transferred to promotion and national advertising in the New York office. By age 25, he was advertising director of the San Diego Sun.
Except for his service as a Navy officer during World War II, Mr. Horton's only employer was Scripps Howard. He retired in 1970 from Atlanta, where he headed national advertising sales in the Southeast for Scripps Howard.
In each of the cities where he worked, he was active in numerous civic and professional organizations, from press and advertising clubs and associations with school boards.
Mr. Horton leaves his wife of 55 years, Barbara Marshall Horton; sons, Alan of Cincinnati, senior vice president of The E. W. Scripps Co. and head of its newspaper division, and John of Neptune Beach, Fla., a retired Navy captain; four grandchildren; and a great-granddaughter.
