...Pennsylvania farm when he rose at 4:30 a. m. and worked till dark. His clothing is still inexpensive, and he will search long for a lost golf ball. He is a solid, round, quiet man except when he is aroused against the Big Demon Rum or the Little Devil Tobacco or one of the many other worldly evils in combatting which the Kresge fortune has been freely expended...
Pending definite news, Senator Edge was internally atwitter over the prospect of being "just across the Channel, Charlie." A somewhat rotund, full-blooded gentleman of 54, with a history-printer's devil to millionaire-statesman-vaguely reminiscent of the first of U.

Last week, he published the answers.* At anonymous random he asked 56 questions of 500 ministers, 200 theological students. Some of the questions: DO YOU BELIEVE that God exists? [Only on this question did all agree...
...stockholders had any suspicion that all was not well. To them Mr. Schulte replied that no common dividends might be paid for the rest of the year, that if cut pricing prevailed there might be no dividends for the next five years, that one of his stores, fighting the devil with fire, had cut 15? cigarets to 11?, that "retailers are going to make a legitimate profit or none at all." Should this 11? policy be followed at all Schulte stores it might well be imitated by the United Cigar Stores (allied with Schulte through the Union & United Tobacco Corp...
