...production of 2,000,000 sets compared to an estimate of more than 4,000,000 for household units. Since about 4,500,000 cars will probably be sold this year, nearly one out of every two may carry a radio as naturally as a spare tire...
...days before last week's performance the prima donna from Jellico, Tenn. kept to her suite in the Hotel Sherry-Netherland, refusing to speak lest she tire her voice. On the stage she exhibited more grace and confidence than she did at her debut in 1928. Otherwise her progress was unnoticeable. Her voice, at best, is naturally ingratiating. But it is still technically insecure, often feeble and rasping when she strives for top notes, empty and meaningless when she tries to sing...
...little businessmen arrived in Washington last week just in time to hear another piece of news sweet to the ears. After more than two years of hearings in various cities of the land, the Federal Trade Commission ordered Goodyear Tire & Rubber to cease and desist from granting special favors to Sears, Roebuck & Co. in return for the privilege of making the tires that Sears sells under its own brand names.

One is now daily besieged with invitations to luncheons, teas, sherry, dinner, and more peculiar functions. Work is temporarily put in the background, to be reinstated as an immediate reality when we find at the beginning of next term that these all-important yearly exams are only a month ahead. But for the present gaiety is king...

Sales were $28,000,000 ahead of 1934, but the tire companies spent the best part of the 1935 selling season in one of their chronic price-cutting battles. U. S. motorists bought about 2,500,000 fewer tires in 1935 than in 1934, partly because they were catching on to the possibilities of having tires retreaded. Goodyear, having made 12? a share in 1935, was last week selling at $28, about 233 times earnings...
