...banks, Union Trust and Guardian Trust, paid their depositors dividends of 35% and 20% respectively (in addition to 5% previously). The distribution amounted to $53,000,000. Small depositors received checks by mail, others called for theirs. Among the depositors were some 5,000 wandering gypsies who in the boom days of 1929 made Union Trust their tribal depository. The gypsies, not understanding the convenience of checks, were taken directly to the bank's underground vaults, paid in cash...
...instant effect of his offer of a $3.85 bond conversion rate when the monetary exchange was above $4.85 was to stop the decline of the dollar and give it an upward fillip. Simultaneously the recent Wall Street boom, partly induced by a falling dollar, collapsed (see p. 45). On the theory that Chancellor Chamberlain's fiscal acumen is very great indeed, he was credited with a deliberate and successful move to start sterling downhill...
...estimated to have an assessed value of $35,000,000. His biggest Depression purchases: February 1931, 36-story building on the site of famed Delmonico's on Fifth Avenue-formerly occupied by the Bank of United States but now the Ruppert Building; January 1932, the 35-story boom-built Commerce Building at Third Avenue and 44th Street...

Motor Business Since last May nine out of ten U. S. businesses have boomed. Automobiles arc just one of the nine. But how big the car boom has been few people realize. Last week were published June production figures of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce showing 195,000 cars turned out (compared with 95,000 in June 1932). Ford is not a member of the auto C. of C. So Ford's estimated output of 55,000 cars brings June 1933 production up to a round quartermillion. In spite of the fact that automobile production lagged behind...
