THE HERALD STATESMAN, YONKERS, N.Y., WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1933
BRONXVILLE, March 8.? Larkin G. Mead, former newspaper man and more recently in charge of the bureau of information of the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment, died yesterday at his home, 23 Park Avenue, here at the age of 58. Death was attributed to heart disease. Mr. Mead led the wet publicity from 1938 until three months ago and was credited by Henry H. Curran, head of the Association Against Prohibition, as doing more than any one man to bring about "the change in American public opinion on prohibition." Following his graduation from Yale in 1897, he became a reporter on the New York Sun, where he spent two years. He did freelance magazine writing for a year and then joined the staff of the New York Commercial Advertiser. Mr. Mead was recognised as one of the first men to use the classification of "publicity counsellor" and he helped introduce the now familiar function of advising large interests on their relations with the public. Mr. Mead was born in New Britain, Conn., a son of Charles Levi and Isabella S. Mead. The late Larkin G. Mead, sculptor, and the late William Rutherford Mead, the architect of McKim, Mead and White, were his uncles. Another distinguished relation was William Dean Howells.
