...come a year later than it did, because it so happens that working capital is the particular need of industry in 1937. This was made abundantly clear in the first statistical study of the subject published by Business Week last April at the suggestion of Vice President Fenton B. Turck of American Radiator & Standard Sanitary Corp. By the end of last year booming sales had necessitated enormously bigger inventories and inventory costs had jumped with the prices of raw materials. Industrial payrolls, furthermore, had swollen 30% since 1934. Needing cash to meet his current obligations and more cash...

While strolling Fifth Avenue last November he died of heart failure, aged 75. With him were his adoring wife and namesake...
Prodigious also is Fenton Benedict Turck Jr. He worked with test tubes before he could play marbles, cultivated streptococci before he could write his A B C's. At 9, a zealous, frail, brown-eyed boy, he lectured the Chicago Microscopical Society on microbes and laboratory technique, showed his own lantern slides. During a fatiguing lecture which ran far beyond his regular bedtime, he grew pale. A wise scholar picked up the child, held him inverted by his feet. Right-side up again Young Turck continued his lecture. Father Turck decided that biology excited the child too much, diverted...
