...Nowhere into the here came Big Steel (which Economist Roberts rates as an industrial group by itself) converting a $12,000,000 deficit to a $12,000,000 profit. Steel's third quarter report last week showed its Cinderella common stock back in the black to the tune of $10,420,445-47? a common share, and showed $5.16 operating profit per ton shipped; it is operating at close to 90%. Even more spectacular was the record of Bethlehem Steel, which makes money at a lower rate of operations than its big brother, which is now operating at full...
Republicans (the city administration is Democratic) suggested that, if the nudes were kept draped through the winter, the city might charge 10? a peek and so liquidate its record $3,332,000 deficit. Art lovers wanted the unveiling put off till spring, when the plaza would look more verdant and hopeful. Barrel-chested Mayor Bernard Francis Dickmann last week gathered himself together and chose a December date. Director of Streets and Sewers Frank J.

Made head of a feast-or-famine business in 1929, Lewis Brown pulled it through the century's worst depression intact (only deficit: $2,829,000 in 1932).

Production of electric power in the U. S. last fortnight amounted to 2,493,993,000 kilowatt hours, which looks like almost as handsome a number as the U. S. 1939 deficit. Actually it is a very handsome number. It means that electric utilities is one industry which is not only producing 12% more than in lowly 1938, not only 10% more than in rattling 1937, but is selling to consumers about 20% more than in luscious...
...swept by with an air of drawing-room dignity, its private meetings and rehearsals seethed with back-bitings, hair pullings. Socialite sponsors quarreled with each other; the women musicians quarreled with Conductress Sundstrom. Several times it looked as if the show could not go on. In 1937, with a deficit of $3,500 on their hands, the orchestra's board of directors elected socialite Mrs. Royden J. Keith president. Mrs. Keith forthwith fired Conductress Sundstrom...
