...Rite Cathedral with 2,000 Republicans, where he spent the night at the home of his old friend DeGrimm G. Renfro. Sunday morning he was back in West Middlesex to go to church with his uncle William T. Mossman, pressagent of Jones & Laughlin Steel Corp., in the old red brick Methodist Church where his grandfather, the Rev. William H. Mossman, once was pastor. The Rev. Henry G. Shilling (a registered Democrat who is going to vote for Landon) preached for 40 minutes. Having put a dollar bill in the collection, Nominee Landon departed for Sunday dinner with his great-aunt...
...Manchester grew up around the Amoskeag mills. Over half of the very land it stands on was sold or deeded to the city by Amoskeag owners. Since 1805 Amoskeag has provided the city's business lifeblood. At the peak of its prosperity in 1921, Amoskeag's red-brick plants, stretching for almost a mile along the Merrimack River (see cut), employed 18,000 workers, paid nearly one-half the city's industrial payroll.

Along the creaky main corridor of the old red-brick building of the Army Medical Library in Washington last week strode the librarian, Major Edgar Erskine Hume, a proud and happy man.

Even now his eye wanders when visitors babble about the almost flagrant picturesqueness of the acres of neo-Gothic and neo-Colonial stone and brick with which some $60,000,000 of Edward Stephen Harkness' and the late John William Sterling's money has entirely redecorated the city of New Haven. If anyone typifies the elegance of the nine undergraduate colleges' 28 squash courts, the urbanity of their comfortable common rooms...
...After serving nine years on the board of governors, Thaddeus Reamy ("Brick") Benson, 51, was elected president of the Chicago Stock Exchange to succeed Michael J. O'Brien, a local partner of Paine, Webber & Co., who had held the post thrice. White-haired President Benson got his start in his father's real estate firm, shifted to American Can Co., later went into roofing. A broker since 1910, he became senior partner of F. M. Zeiler & Co. in 1923. Handsome, humorous, immaculately dressed, "Brick" Benson likes to fish, play golf, lives in suburban Winnetka. Asked about the outlook...
