...money illustrators who providentially salted his earnings away in real property (on Long Island Sound, with a yacht) before 1929. La Gatta's specialty is swooningly sleek backs.

A soft-spoken New Englander of 57, President Smith is a self-made man who became general manager of Hartford-Empire's predecessor, Hartford-Fairmont Co., in 1915. He owns only a small block of stock in Hartford-Empire; most of it belongs to the Houghton family (Corning Glass Co.) and Beech-Nut Packing Co. Beech...
