INVENTORY FORM B CONTINUATION SHEET LEXINGTON 34 HAYES AVENUE MASSACHUSETTS HISTORICAL COMMISSION Area(s) Form No. 220 MORRISSEY BOULEVARD,BOSTON,MASSACHUSETTS 02125 �H1 2141 Allen Rucker was a co-founder of the Eddy-Rucker-Nickels Co. in Cambridge, one of the country's first management consulting firms (1929-1992). Rucker is known for development of"The Rucker Share of Production Plan,"a system in which business operations were analyzed and productivity measured; recommendations were made to increase efficiency, productivity, and profits; and profits were shared with workers based on their productivity. More research is needed to confirm residents and street numbers in the 1920s and 30s and to provide greater historic context for Allen Rucker. Subsequent residents identified at this address included Charles E. Hogan, an underwriter, his wife Mae T., and Margaret Tynan, relationship unknown (1945) and Richard E. Filipowski a teacher, and his wife Patricia (1955). By 1965, the house was occupied by two families: Donovan P. Yeull, Jr., in the U.S. Army, his wife Mary G., and a grown daughter who was a student; and John M.Wilkinson, an economist, and his wife Ernestine.
