...went to work for Goodrich in 1906 without taking the trouble to remind his employers that he was a nephew of the founder and that B. F. Goodrich Co. had once been known as Goodrich, Tew & Co. His first job was to clean and roll liners at 15? an hour, ten and a half hours a day. When his boss told him two years later that $75 a month was his limit, young Tew walked over to Diamond Rubber Co. and got a better job. The first successful cord tire made in the U.

It reminded scarcely anyone that the French statesmen with whom Alexander was friendly were moderate Democrats, men who would have liked to exterminate the Socialist...
...tall, fatherly police sergeant appears to question or scold them. Even their slang-in which a policeman is a "rozzer," a pal is addressed as "china"- is more quaint than sinister. Thus the great million-dollar fur robbery which climaxes Dr. Clitterhouse's efficient operations is likely to remind U. S. spectators of a schoolboy raid on the jam closet. Somehow that does not impair the show's excitement...
