...quiet his name is not on his office door or in Who's Who. For years he was a dominant stockholder in International Paper and New England Power. When he obtained control of the former, combinations began. He kept in the background. Seldom has his name appeared in print except, during the 90's, in the sport news. He used to be an able tennis racqueteer. His background is Quaker, and old New English. His father, Arnold Buffum Chace, is chancellor of Brown University. The Chace spokesman, figurehead and factotum...
...present-day New York Times is his creation. People mocked his motto, "All the news that's fit to print." They scoffed at his plan to cover fully phases of the news that had never been so covered before, such as Wall Street, real estate, books, routine governmental matters of the city, state and nation.

And when the operator forgets to pluck the faulty line from the mould, "etaoin shrdlu" gets into print. So often has "etaoin shrdlu" appeared with a "Mr." prefixed, that Mr. Etaoin Shrdlu has really become a famed press personage. He has a relative who dwells on his right hand in the third vertical row on a linotype machine, young Mr. Cmfwyp. The family is completed by boyish Vbgkqj...
...this spring it was decreed that Albert should journey northward. The unwell ungulate journeyed. Swiftly he contracted pneumonia. And, despite depth bombs charged with quinine, and gallons of legally prescribed liquor, he died. Notable is the fact that he died most opportunely; in time to burst into print just before the circus's splendiferous opening in Manhattan's Madison Square Garden. Thus did Albert serve his owners even in death...
