...Walker could see friends aplenty: Lawyer Dudley Field Malone, Police Commissioner Edward P. Mulrooney's wife, a host of rowdy Tammanyites and the hard-headed Democratic minority of the Legislative investigation committee which was about to wave at him. His friends proved a loyal group, wildly cheering his cheapest sallies, hissing & booing his inquisitor. Outside was an admiring multitude who really would not care if it were proved that "Jimmy" had stolen the Brooklyn Bridge...
...Much has been said about the ultimate probability that cement roads will supplant rails as the cheapest means of transportation. Such a possibility does not exist; one freight train carries as much coal as could be transported in a thousand trucks, each of which would necessarily require a driver, with accompanying high costs. Only one tenth of the transported commodities of the country are handled by motor trucks...
...wholesale price of his product. Undoubtedly this tax would be passed along indirectly to the retail consumer. To make the tax as broad and impartial as possible, the Ways & Means Committee talked of exempting from its provisions only raw or unprocessed food, bread, milk, farm seeds, fertilizer, perhaps the cheapest kind of clothing.

His shoes were shined; a white handkerchief bobbed from his breast pocket; gone...
...extra length. All are low, racy, big-doored, have slanting radiators, are smartly painted. Like Austin and Morris, the Ford is eight-horsepowered. Owners will pay ?8 per year tax (based on horsepower), far less than the ?16-to-?24 tax on Model A Fords. Price for the sedan (cheapest model) is ?120. Austin's sedan costs ?118, Morris' ?122. Fords, like Austins and Morrises, will run 35 miles on a gallon of petrol. In seeking to break into tax-ridden Britain's popular low-powered automobile field, American Ford planned to give Britain her share...
