Associated Press reported that Midamerica might be sold "within 48 hours." But days passed without any announcement of a sale. Cleveland newspapers placed Boston's crusty old Frederick Henry Prince, chairman of Armour & Co. and onetime president of the Van Sweringens' Pere Marquette Ry., at the head of a propositioning group which had withdrawn from the race. Other "overnight selections": a Manhattan syndicate represented by Brokers Young, Kolbe & Co.; a General Motors-Du Pont combine...
...forced farmers to slaughter a vast number of animals they could not feed. Although Cudahy Packing increased its profits from $1,211,000 in 1935 to $1,815,000, President Edward A. Cudahy Jr. wrote his stockholders that results "did not come up to our expectations."

The "funnyman" makes no more mature interpretation than youthful jollity and a liberal allowance of beer can produce, while the muses of the "Advocate" often walk too high on literary Helicon for the vulgar population to follow them. Yet if the intended sacrifice of intellectuality...
Attached to the neck of a lamb received at Armour & Co.'s packing plant at Omaha last week was a note: "This is Billy; take good care of him." On the back of the note was a picture of Billy and his one-time owner, Marian Leaders, 4, of Mineola, Iowa, who had raised him on a bottle. An Armour employe promised that Billy would "never know a moment of pain." In the slaughterhouse, Billy, like hundreds of others of his kind, was strung up by his heels on a moving chain. A muscular butcher seized his head, twisted...
