Second, while directors were heartily sorry for his and their mistakes (especially stock-selling) they did not admit that his or their acts were culpable. For every evil-looking act listed above they had an explanation which gave the lie to the headlines. Example: all loans made to officers were secured by collateral which was ample at the time. None of the officers have been forgiven their debts. They still owe the money and their collateral is still pledged to the National City Company. The "write-off" consisted merely in getting these frozen loans off the books of the bank...

It not only borrowed railroad tactics but got the Pennsylvania Railroad to handle its tickets and to admit Ludington buses to the Penn terminal in Manhattan. At the end of the first year Ludington had carried 66,000 passengers, showed a net profit of $8,073. Skeptics wondered if the Ludington books were kept in the manner required of airmail operators by the Post Office Department; Executive Vice...
