...Pierce-Arrow. One of those rarities, a corporate grass widow, Pierce-Arrow was purchased by Studebaker in 1928, but after the Studebaker receivership last year, Pierce-Arrow was sent back to her old Buffalo friends. Last week Pierce-Arrow was in court again, this time petitioning for permission to reorganize under the new Bankruptcy Act. It has little cash, large bank loans. Its sales have dropped from 8,000 annually to 1,900. But Pierce-Arrow could still be the most aristocratic lady in any harem...
...Auburn's President W. Hubert Beal resigned to become right-hand man to Lucius Bass Manning, who is right-hand man to Errett Lobban Cord. To become active head of Auburn, Mr. Manning, now in complete charge of Cord affairs, picked not a Cord subordinate but a Pierce-Arrow vice president in charge of sales, Roy Henry Faulkner. True, the shift was home-coming for Roy Faulkner, a temperamental sales genius, who was Auburn's president when it was a gold-producer...
...history of archery as a U. S. sport goes back to two brothers named Thompson. After the Civil War they retreated to the Georgia backwoods.

Mrs. Mudd had enough points (1,771) to win before her rivals began their last round. Slim, tall, with reddish hair and a hungry-looking Nordic face, Russell Hoogerhyde has been the foremost U. S. bowman since 1930. A onetime lifeguard at Michigan beaches, he came...
...other half of the Paramount-Fenway program is "The Last Round-Up," based on Zane Grey's "Border Legion." It would be easy to criticize the plot and the "acting" of the hatchet-faced lass and the Arrow-collar youth who take the leads and whom Paramount Pictures attempt to introduce as "Stars of the future," but to do this alone would give an unfair impression of the presentation. There is action, hard-riding, good scenery, fast shooting, and here and there a hard right to the jaw. Insofar as "The Last Round-Up" is a step back...
