...National Biscuit) waxed great but under less exciting management. Today the tin plate trade points to the bulky, genial, 200-lb. president of McKeesport Tin Plate as its only character who even remotely approaches the legendary trio of Moore, Reid & Leeds. Edwin Robert Crawford learned steel as an auditor but instead of picking the high road of promotion to glory, he built his own plant in 1902. McKeesport grew up to be one of the largest independent makers of plate. Individualistic, patriarchal to employes, President Crawford proudly boasts that by staggering work he has laid off no men, that...
State insurance commissioner is in ordinary times a job much like the job of state bank commissioner: super-auditor to see that no one plays hocus-pocus with money that the public lays away for emergencies.

They were charged with mulcting investors in Southern Cities Supply Corp. of $1,700,000. An unexpected witness against them in Federal Court was Illinois' white-maned Representative Henry Thomas Rainey, Democratic floor leader of the House. Democrat Rainey's story...
Giovanni Morosini worked his way over as a deck hand on a sailing ship. Jay Gould kept the bargain, gave him a job on the Erie at .$30 a month, from which he rapidly skyrocketed to be general auditor of the road. Hulking young Morosini with his flamboyant manner, his bullet head, his colossal mustaches (alia Vittorio Emmamiele} and his stiletto was the kind of man Gould, the unscrupulous railway pirate, could understand. Before long he was Gould's "secretary" (armed bodyguard), finally a full fledged Gould partner-and then how the money rolled in! He married, built...
