Frozen Eggs. Into mighty, meatpacking Armour & Co., there strayed last week the H. J. Keith Co. of Boston, dealers in dried and frozen eggs. Also into the Armour fold came a large interest in Amos Bird Co. of Shanghai, Chinese egg product concern. To become a power in the frozen egg market, Armour & Co. paid...
...profession for college youths who fancy neither the drabness of bonds nor the toil of butter-and-eggs. But some of them find a good deal of both in the smart profession, and become good publishers. Two men who have survived enough of the toil to start their own concern (with the publication of Diversey), are Thomas Coward and James McCann. The former, nine years out of Yale College, has worked with The Yale University Press and Bobbs-Merrill Co., was National Squash champion in 1922.

When he got home his wife announced herself unfaithful, and wanting a divorce soon-but not till convenient...
Probably she does not concern herself with figures. But Son Louis may have told her, jubilantly, that in 1927 he cleared $163,968, and in the first five months of 1928 he made $83,161. He may have told her, last week, that a syndicate was offering the public 40,000 shares of Louis Philippe, Inc., cumulative participating convertible Class A common stock. She would not have understood the financial terms, but she would have known that she did well when she led her little boy to a kitchen stove in Paris...
