Since sportsmen naturally like the art they own to reflect accurately the sport they love, most of the show was almost photographic. Most popular works: the hunting and fishing oils of 76-year-old Frank W. Benson, who is said to have earned $1,000,000 from duck pictures alone; Edward Herbert Miner's Man o' War and Four of His Famous Get; the winter canvases of A. Sheldon Pennoyer, who dashes down ski slopes as easily as he dashes off brush strokes; big-game wood carvings by Blackfoot Indian John Louis Clarke (Man-Who-Talks...
Meanwhile, people were putting oil burners in their basements. Oil burners, compared to the ordinary coal furnace then in use, could be run almost as cheaply, more efficiently, with considerably less fuss.

This did not reflect two important facts, however: 1) for the whole year FDIC earnings exceeded expenses by $1,000,000; 2) FDIC does not consider as earnings the assessments paid by insured banks. Besides its $1,000,000 net earnings on operations it collected $38,800.000 of such assessments in 1937. Last week FDIC's white-shocked Chairman Leo Thomas...
...White House calling list may not be a very reliable index of business activity but it is-at the moment at least-a sensitive index of business sentiment. For the eagerness of businessmen to see the President, and more particularly the President's willingness to see them, could reflect only profound concern over the business outlook-on both sides...
