...police forces, to private protective agencies (which now have to get approval of the U. S. Attorney General for purchase of a Tommy gun), to the U. S. Marines, to many a European and South American army, Thompsons were sold. The General's son, Colonel Marcellus H. Thompson, third in the family line to graduate from West Point, resigned from the army and went into the business as vice president and general manager...
Today Thompsons can be made for $50 to $60 each, sold at $200 to $225.

Financial writers then discovered Marcellus Joslyn's old labor policy, adopted during the post-War period of strikes...
Stockbroker Starr and Frank G. Marcellus, who claims he is a cousin of the late Mrs. Garrett, quietly became administrators of the residuary estate, but four years passed before a public accounting was made at the instance of persons who became aware of the fortune. Two years ago, when the court was to pass on the audit, the fourth floor of Philadelphia's City Hall was as crowded as a County Fair, and Case No. 2552 of 1932 became a real problem for the Orphans' Court which William Penn set up 248 years ago.
