...Shoemakers of Elmira, N. Y., owners of the Frostilla line of beauty lotions, which Ritchie once sold in Canada.

A few old employes still on Cooper-Bessemer...
...week about something new -"endowed salads" and "vitamin tickets." In the two university cafeterias 300 co-eds could chomp a red apple a day, gratis. On each table there were free bowls of beets, lettuce, spinach, tomatoes, turnips and cabbage, in olive oil. Digesting these, the young ladies might stride about wintry Boston, well fortified with healthful vitamins...
