...recently to the militant United Syndicate of French Wine Growers. They have read of the strides made by California juicemen in the West (TIME, Oct. 20, Nov. 24). They have read, too. the weekly advertisements of New York's Vineyardists Inc. offering to come with juice into the client's home and there make guaranteed, "strictly legal" champagne, or any of several other wines.

...Manhattan has long had an oral agreement with Artist Howard Chandler Christy whereby the gallery sent him customers, he to charge sitters a minimum of $4,500 for an oil, the gallery to receive a commission of $1,500. To him months ago they sent a woman client. He charged her $2,500, paid the gallery nothing.
