...remind you of the extent of this potential liability. Even during the past fall the net receipts from football amounted to $292,000 as compared with our total budget of $365,000. The maximum gate receipts were reached in 1929 when they totaled $706,000. The fall has been practically 60 per cent. Another fall of even 20 per cent would mean a serious deficit if the present rate of expenditure were continued, and a continued and sustained downward trend would seriously threaten the entire athletic program. With the uncertainties of the present economic situation, no one charged with...
...went into the liquor business. It bought an interest in a brewery, secured exclusive U. S. sales rights on Johnny Walker Scotch whiskey, Sandeman's wines and Cinzano vermouth. Finally it began marketing Canada Dry gin. The company now admits that these liquor ventures were not altogether successful.

...cost over $400,000,000 some 30 years ago. Its net profit for 1933 was over $5,000,000 (before Roosevelt). Prior to Japanese interference in setting up the puppet Empire of Manchukuo, the C. E. R. earned $10,000,000 (before Roosevelt) yearly from 1924 to 1930. Thus the C. E. R. changed hands last week for less than five times its earnings in an average year, the worst bargain made by Soviet Russia since Lenin accepted the Peace of Brest-Litovsk...
