He spends much of his time in Palm Beach, where he has established a resort shop. When away from New York he leaves his business in the hands of Sons Arthur & George, vice presidents. He was in Palm Beach last week and Son George, who looks like his father except for more hair on his head-and none on his lip, had the honor of opening the Greenwich branch store...
