Dress him in a well-cut morning coat, impeccable striped trousers and white spats. Give him a handsome cane. Crown him with a high silk hat. Make him a Knight of Justice of St. John of Jerusalem. Make him the colossal figure who merged under the British Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. the largest group of shipping companies ever created (TIME, Feb. 23). Do all this and you have Baron...
