...marks certainly have reached their lowest ebb; if they do not rise pretty soon, I shall be completely stranded. They have all been pretty low, but I call my last one low-water mark because I can't conceive of anything lower down than that mark...

Mr. Edward Atkinson is a practical business man of large experience, and has collected much interesting information upon the subject which he has chosen. The names of Professors Sumner and Walker are familiar to everybody...
