1992 - Rio de Janeiro, Brazil -
Having helped to found the Quintessence Brazilian Branch, acquired from Francisco J. Celeirós, and José Maria Vergaças Vicente (Firm formerly known as Livraria Pedro Primeiro), I soon found myself side by side with Brazilian book salesmen.
Top Left - With Francisco Celeirós.
Middle Left - Ready for action at the World Dental Congress while Brazilian salesmen attend to clients.
Bottom Left - Some of the salesmen. Francisco is the one with the tie.
ABOVE: Mrs. Olavo Gonçalves. Dr. Gonçalves was a friend of the firm's majority stockholders in Germany.

Later, on the day that our photos at the stand were shot, a Doctor Albino J. Marchon closed down our booth through a court order he had secured claiming hat his firm was the true representative in Brazil of the German parent company.

The case was eventually resolved in and out of court.
