CHICAGO–True North Communications chairman Bruce Mason makes no bones about it: He wants to make an acquisition and wants it to be a significant one.





‘We’ve done some deals, but we haven’t done a big one,’ said Mason. ‘With our settlement (with France’s Publicis), the impediments are gone and I think it’s safe to say we are looking to make an acquisition. If a year from now we haven’t done that, you can put my feet to the fire.’





Mason would not comment on any possible acquisition targets.
