West from Hardin, Mont, one day last week rolled a remarkable caravan bound on an extraordinary journey. Thundering in line went three huge trucks with trailers, a fleet of small trucks and passenger automobiles.

They were bound through snowy valleys and over icy mountains for California's warm, rich San Joaquin Valley and the newest venture of Tom Campbell, world's No. 1 Big Farmer...

Bound to convince the chronically apologetic members of the American Society of London that he does not really consider Manhattan a huge fleshpot, Baron Hewart, Lord Chief Justice of England, patted his round stomach and expanded: "Why, if Oliver Cromwell were alive today and seeking to find the company most congenial...
...largest powder bin in the world" the powder was meticulously sifted through silk gauze by means of an electrical shimmy appliance. Guests beheld, in glass cases, the raw materials of cosmetics, labeled in spurious Latin. They browsed in the Max Factor Research Library in which there are not only bound volumes of the American Journal of Dermatology and Syphilology but also old copies of National Geographic and Pearson's Magazine...
