...thought to have an auspicious future, especially since the gas will be sold on heat units instead of cubic feet (natural gas has nearly twice as many B. T.U. as manufactured gas). Apparently most sure of its success is Continental Construction Corp., the builder, for last week this concern announced that by the end of 1932 it will build a parallel line with 30-inch pipe, shoot natural gas from the South past Chicago, into New England...
...important buys during 1929 was Berkey & Gay, a Grand Rapids company making high class general furniture. The concern was one of the oldest in Grand Rapids and its $9,000,000-a-year sales volume made it one of the biggest. It was not operating at a profit because the furniture business then, as now, was confused and upset.

...motherly proprietress, who makes succulent pastries; by her small granddaughter (Ray Dooley) who uses carpet sweepers as roller-skates and is continually scratching herself; and by an itinerant king who happens into the hotel and stays because he likes the pie, Dowling makes his venture a howling success. Subplots concern his romance with the niece of the rival hotelkeeper, the effects of right living on a case-hardened gambler and two thuggish assistants.
