...only 164 are active now. Only 24 of these have a capitalization of over $1,000,000. Most of them have been losing money for a decade and would need several very profitable years before they could brew dividends for shareholders. Colossi in the ruined industry are Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and Pabst Corp. Anheuser-Busch has built up profitable sidelines in yeast, ice-cream, ginger ale, truck bodies, coal. If beer is legalized the company can in two hours start turning out about half of its pre-Prohibition yearly output of 1,600,000 bbl. The company is ready...
...Journal which, outraged, unsuccessfully sued the World, but won the right to the title "Katzenjammer Kids." Dirks was forced to change the name to "Hans & Fritz," during the War to "The Captain & the Kids." Based on some youngsters familiar to Germans in the famed drawings of Cartoonist Wilhelm Busch, the "Kids," their antics and tricks on the ever gullible Captain and Inspector, amused millions of U.

...Koussevitzky orchestra had a long, symphonic introduction before Violinist Busch tucked his instrument under his chin, demonstrated a great talent worthy of great music. Busch, like Brahms, scorns meaningless display. In music alternately heroic and deeply tender, he displayed an immaculate, full-toned technique, an interpretative sense marked by the same marvelous simplicity and restraint that he has succeeded in preserving in his pupil, young Yehudi Menuhin. In Manhattan the Busch name is familiar because of Adolf's brother Fritz (they were the sons of a famed Westphalian violin-maker), who conducted the New York Symphony for a time...
...Violinist Busch will be heard only with orchestra on his first U. S. tour. From Boston he goes to Detroit, Manhattan, Minneapolis, Chicago, accompanies the Philharmonic to Philadelphia, Washington and Baltimore, ends his tour at St. Louis...
