...that thumb-sucking 1) introduces germs into tonsils and stomach, 2) stimulates harmful sexual activity, or 3) causes receding jaws and buckteeth.

President Charles E. Brinley, who now fills the shoes of genial Patriarch Samuel Vauclain as head of Baldwin's management, may get Baldwin's break-even point down to its old $30,000,000 level (it was in the red last year on total business of $33,000,000). If he does, U. S. Naval expansion should soon increase Baldwin's non-locomotive business enough to put the company in the black. If Baldwin then got another $30,000,000 of locomotive business, and $5-10,000,000 of railroad accessory business, thanks to the Government...
