...afternoon 3,000 pundits crowded the walls of the ballroom of the Benjamin Franklin Hotel to hear Professor Warren expound his theory of the relationship of the gold supply to price levels, that the cause of the Depression was that prices outran the supply of gold in the late boom. It was his first public pronouncement since he became adviser to the President. When he had done, the 3,000 listened just as eagerly to Professor Kemmerer who has taken the place of leader of the opposition theory, whose point was not a direct attack upon the Warren doctrine...
...millions went into Penney Farms where an Institute of Applied Agriculture teaches Florida farming to Florida farmers. And at least three Penney millions went into a yawning Florida hole-Miami's City National Bank. In 1928 when City National was still teetering from the collapse of the land boom and the damage of the Great Hurricane, James Cash Penney and his associates bought control, injected $2,000,000 of fresh capital. When the winds of Depression began to howl, another $1,000,000 was put in. Early in 1930 Boardchairman Penney wrote an open letter to depositors urging faith...
...surprise. As a rule. Columnist Winchell confines himself to reporting who is whose "heart," what romances have "gone phffft" on "the Stem." Unexpectedly assuming the role of kingmaker, he jolted his listeners in the Granite State by announcing: "The New York Herald Tribune is plotting to boom the Republican candidate for the Presidency in 1936 - Governor John G.

For the second time in 72 hours his name made national...
Tibbett's success is reminiscent of the boom years, which for concerts ended not with the stock crash but with radio and sound movies which came in at a time when the market was already imperilled by too many second-rate artists. In the boom years Galli-Curci and John McCormack were the big money-making concert singers. They would get 100 engagements a season and they needed no advertising. Phonograph records built up their names, besides earning them royalties which year after year ran over $100,000. Deflation has weeded out second-raters and for the top-notchers...
...Stewart Baker, who like his father Stephen became president of the bank at the early age of 34, has kept his venerable institution abreast of the times. In the boom days of 1929 the Bank of the Manhattan Co. surrounded itself with affiliates (International Acceptance Bank, New York Title & Mortgage Co., International Manhattan Co. etc.) and started acquisition of a group of banks (County Trust Co. of White Plains, the Corning Trust). Two years ago it turned with the tide, made International Manhattan Co. give up dealing in securities. A year ago it divorced New York Title & Mortgage...
