The papers of Saul Kolodny (1918-2001) span the years 1940-1983 and include correspondence, reports, graphs, charts, memoranda, printed matter, photographs, and miscellaneous material pertaining to his career as an economist for the sugar industry.

During World War II, he served with the association’s Cane Sugar Refiners’ War Committee and the United States Department of Agriculture assisting the government with allocation of raw sugar supplies to various refiners and designing statistical reports and control procedures. In 1947 he joined the American Sugar Refining Company, later renamed Amstar Corporation, as an economist and manager of planning and analysis.

He retired from the Amstar Corporation in 1983.
