...year the company announced it would be unable to pay on its notes. Standard Statistics Co., biggest of them all, began an expansion at the time of the 1929 crash, by 1931 had 1,300 employes, a lease on six floors (plus an option on two more) of a brand-new building and its own printing plant. When public interest in the market sank to apathy, Standard could not retrench fast enough. Salaries were cut, the staff was trimmed, executives went months without pay.

Dr. Marshall has already shipped a supply of his drug to the British forces in Egypt...
...around the Gulf Coast to Orange, Tex. had received some $1,250,000,000 in orders: almost $1,000,000,000 for the Navy, the rest for the Maritime Commission and private interests. Just the list of new yards made heady reading. The one at Orange was a brand-new $5,000,000 Navy project preparing to go on three 48-hour shifts a week to turn out twelve destroyers (costing $97,200,000). To build 75 of the standardized 7,500-ton freighters, under President Roosevelt's new 200 emergency ship program, yards were under construction at Houston...
