...Committee of Business Conduct spoke, in fact, about the price of two stocks-Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Co. preferred and Pierce-Arrow Class A. Under a recapitalization plan launched soon after Pierce-Arrow was segregated from Studebaker (TIME, Sept. 4), both of these old issues are exchangeable for a single new issue of Pierce-Arrow common-but in different ratios. The holder of one share of old preferred will receive 3.2* of new common; the holder of one share of old Class A will receive one-tenth of a share of new common. Thus in terms of new stock...

Officers of Fierce-Arrow were chagrined, however, to have their pseudo-parent in receivership. Last week President Arthur J. Chanter of Fierce-Arrow announced that with the backing...
...them to Eureka to see his 101 Ranch show (bought from Zack Miller a few months ago), to find them jobs when they were out of work. All Emporia's colored people swore by him for his generosity. He drove a flock of cars headed by a Fierce-Arrow. When his little girl had pneumonia, he sent for an oxygen tent. It was never used but he bought it, presented it to the Emporia hospital...
...vain knife-faced French Minister Georges Bonnet fumed. Waiting for the President, he missed the Golden Arrow De Luxe Express to Paris, missed all the afternoon expresses and finally left London at 11 p. m. to toss all night on the Channel with a cabinet meeting in Paris scheduled as soon as he should arrive...
