What Loewy's staff thinks a railroad station should be is exemplified in two brand-new, spick & span stations of the Pennsylvania, designed by Loewy Architect Lester Claude Tichy, which last week awaited only a job of spring landscaping before making their full-dress bow to the traveling public. These stations (at Edgewood, Md. and Ridley Park, Pa.) are as light, airy and cheerful as a country-club terrace...

Last summer he decided that steel lifeboats could as easily be assembly-lined as stoves. Alden Chester hired a naval architect to look over minimum Government specifications, draw up blueprints. They were adopted by the Maritime Commission as standard equipment for the Liberty ships last Aug. 4, and Globe American got a $1,500,000 contract for 1,248 of them. Globe American started boat production on Dec. 1. As prime contractor, it "co-contracted...
