Ruth Girls to be called
"Ruth Girls"

After trying on "The Ruth"™, the RUTH GIRLS® have decided to keep their original name (see Ruth Girls© Name Change - below). Too many folks know RG©™ by their original handle so until further notice it's "Ruth Girls"©™®. This also averts costly repackaging of RG™© merchandise including Ruth Girls™Brand Power Tools®©™ and Ruth™Girls©Own Homestyle™Olives©®.

Ruth Girls Name Change
 
 





 
 
 
 

 

The Ruth Girls are officially changing their name to "The Ruth" after considering several other possibilities including "Not the Spice Girls", "Sarah Tonin & the Neurotransmitters" & "Ruth 66". "The Ruths" was discussed over a recent lunch meeting, but turned out to be too hard to pronounce while eating. The original name just happened when the girls started singing together. 3 young sisters from the Ruth family became known locally as The Ruth Girls - figures. 10 years later, the girls find themselves another year older (hey it's the music biz) and have outgrown the name. What does "The Ruth" mean?

Collins Dictionary defines Ruth as:

ruth
noun (archaic) 
compassion

Ansme.com has this definition:

ruth

Frank Wood promoted

Although he may be a mannequin, Frank has always been a good guy to bounce ideas off. Formerly a dinet set, Frank is pleased to accept the position of head of A&R at Attitude Recordz, a step up from his former title, head of wood. Naturally, with ears of wood and no vision, Frank is perfect for A&R duties. We are also happy to announce Frank's engagement to his desk, Fiona.
