Canada Dry. The first Canada Dry was bottled in Toronto. In 1921 the first U. S. agency was started in Manhattan. President Parry D. Savior entered the company in 1923 and began national advertising with the slogan: "Down from Canada came tales of a wonderful beverage." Sales showed quick advances, now total $12,000,000 annually. Two factories with a combined capacity of 50,000 bottles per hour make Canada Dry for the U. S. There are three factories in Canada including the original one which was bought by the U. S. company in 1924. Its other subsidiaries...

After that Uzcudun kept his chin...

He concludes: "At the end of which time, gentlemen, I came to the decision that D'Annunzio has a dirty mind." Harvardmen were sorry to hear, last week, that Pedagog Perry was resigning his chair to become an Emeritus Professor, having served the University well for 23 years...
...frigid flight from Mt. Clemens, Mich., to Spokane, Wash., and back. The planes, 18 pursuit and four transports (one carrying short wave radio apparatus), equipped with skis and other pertinent paraphernalia for operation under extreme cold and bad weather, were ready to fly last week. A first delay came when the planes were plated with ice after an all night storm. Then one of the transport planes crunched through the ice on Lake St. Clair in five feet of water, had to be hauled ashore and dried off. Eighteen flyers completed the first lap of their journey, landing at Duluth...
