...have to worry whether or not the money came in, Publisher Gannett's line of appeal was remarkably insistent. Unlike Publisher Hearst, he ordered his own employes to sell the stock. To each went a circular letter, a booklet of selling hints and a blank prospect list. The letter, signed by the publisher, read in part: "We expect every employee of the company to turn in at least 24 names." The booklet suggested such prospects as "Your relations. . . . People your relatives can suggest. . . . Personal friends. . . . People with whom you trade. . . . Members of your club or lodge. . . ." The prospect list...

A natural deduction from this was that one person or few persons must own many times 40 shares to bring the average up.

[Toscanini's] green auto is already standing there, and Emilio, his huge chauffeur, is playing with the diminutive fox terrier. . . . The Maestro raises...
Learning that Philanthropist & Mrs. Edward Stephen Harkness were staying at Claridge's Hotel, London, Their Majesties George V & Queen Mary hastened to send them a message. Next day, at the top of the Court Circular, high above the social arrangements of dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts, barons, appeared this item: ''Mr. & Mrs. Edward Harkness had the honor of being received by the King and Queen this morning." Not greeted at a mere Court (there were two last week at which 19 U. S. women were presented), the Harknesses visited Their Majesties in their private study, chatted half an hour. Said...
