...became the unofficial secretary of the group, writing to dealers, arranging shows, patching quarrels. As anyone walking round last week's exhibition could see, Impressionist Pissarro liked his friends' painting almost too well. He painted sometimes like Millet, sometimes like Cezanne, sometimes like Sisley, sometimes like Mary Cassatt. When his friend Seurat invented a technique of painting with tiny blobs of pure color, Camille Pissarro tried that too.

Under its seventh president, Alexander Johnston Cassatt, the Pennsylvania pushed eastward into New York. In 1900 the Pennsylvania secured control of the Long Island Railroad. In 1901 it got permission from New York City to build tunnels under the Hudson and a great terminal on Seventh Avenue.

Last week Cassatt & Co. announced it would discontinue its brokerage business to become a general investment company. Senior Partner Cassatt and Partner Joseph Walker Wear, Philadelphia socialite, will become partners in the brokerage house of E. A. Pierce & Co., largest wire firm on the New York Stock Exchange...

A great deal of his stock he got for nothing, and when bills were due and customers non existent, Mary Cassatt, an artist not only equal in ability with the best of the Impressionists but with a comforting supply of good U. S. dollars (derived by her Philadelphia family from the Pennsylvania Railroad), would drop around and buy a picture...
