...From the 47th floor of Manhattan's Chanin Building and the top floor of St. Louis' Rialto Building, two migrations were in progress last week with a common destination: Chicago. Famed and farflung Aviation Corp. and its operating subsidiary. American Airways, were on their way to the Kingdom of Cord, and the hardbitten little man who would henceforth rule them undisputed could grin more satisfiedly than ever at the 14 years that have passed since he was selling Moon autos in an agency on lower Michigan Avenue...
Oldtime patrons of Manhattan's National Horse Show occupied their boxes at Madison Square Garden as usual last week but there were times when they seemed to shiver slightly. At times the 47th show looked like a rodeo, at times like a sham cavalry battle. The Garden shook with the clatter of rough riders, trick riding, polo, mounted basketball, and police squads knocking one another's hats off with sticks.

President Coburn had served approximately two years last week when suddenly he relinquished the executive office on the 47th floor of Manhattan's Chanin Building to a broad-framed young man with a grin and a pipe. It was not surprising that the name of the president-elect, La Motte Turck Cohu, should be better known in Wall Street than in airway operations. Avco, which has yet to show black ink on a profit & loss statement...
...omniscient i.ooo-page volume (most-called-for reference book in the Library of Congress) with its facts large & small - from an analysis of the latest U. S. census to the manner of addressing an archdeacon? The answer was "No." but not everyone knew it until last week when the 47th annual edition appeared. The publisher is, of course, the Scripps-Howard organization, owner of the World-Telegram. But the book is still called The World Almanac & Book of Facts; its cover still bears the familiar design of the ugly gilt dome of the old World Building, and its editor still...
