Manager Van Namee soon assembled a squad of polite gentlemen and young ladies to write letters, answer telephones, receive callers. Soon monster posters of the Candidate, which made him look more like an advertisement for cold cream and collars than like a Presidential aspirant, were hung upon the walls. Typical of the conversation which buzzed in the Van Namee offices was a spirited debate over when the brown derby hats should be handed out to the convention delegates, before or after the nomination...
...Esquimo Pie Corp. (bars of chocolate-covered ice-cream) challenged Honeymoon Pie Corp. (bars of chocolate-covered ice-cream) on its right to exist. Esquimo sued for damages, alleging that Honeymoon had infringed on its 1921 patent. In Brooklyn, N. Y., last week, Federal Judge Marcus B.

Bred in Chicago, she made her stage debut in the chorus of Hitchy Koo, and has since taken its verbal last syllable for a motto. Often, she coos the most extravagant slang that can be found for her tissue-paper tongue to enwrap. She has done this in Six Cylinder Love, Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, The Love Nest...
...inasmuch as it proposes to do something about it. It is prophesied that next spring this problematical personage will array himself in a light gray suit. His hat will be gray: his shoes black. His shirt will be white; his collar soft. His tie will be of a rich cream color. Thus clad he will appear as a figure infinitely more unique than any ordinary individual, for he is in the position of a stranger in his own land...
