...Dime Heir Lance Reventlow, 24, came along and took her hand in marriage. It looked like a happy match all round. Lance's mother, Sextuple Bride Barbara Mutton, 47, apparently had no objections to Jill, 19, daughter of a well-to-do Beverly Hills electronics wiring maker of German-Jewish lineage; neither did Babs seem upset by her new daughter-in-law's virtually bare-breasted exposure in a recent look-and-leer magazine. As for Jill's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Edward Oppenheim, they raised no open protest to Lance's $25 million fortune, which...

But then Formosan printers began to buy efficient German offset presses and modern bookbinding equipment, partly with the help of U.S. ICA loans.
