...often have been asked whether I consider Berna's record to be within the reach of Tibbetts of any other competitor in the forthcoming struggle on May 29. Frankly, such an opinion must be based on pure guesswork, for the weather must be just right, the track fast and the competition keen. An adverse wind would militate against a runner of Tibbetts' comparatively frail physique, but if conditions are ideal it is within the possibilities that the collegiate record will be lowered...
Recent months, while the Van Sweringens were trying and failing to effect their Nickel Plate System as a competitor in the East to the New York Central, the Pennsylvania and the B. & O., the country has been watching this man.

Afterwards Charles Evans Hughes, onetime (1910-16) SCOTUS Justice took his place. John A. Garver and Frank M. Patterson (not ascertainable as a relative of the N. R. C. Pattersons) now represent the Remington concern. Justice Joseph...
This decision leaves the Remington Cash Register Co. relatively free to continue as chief and most aggressive competitor to the National Cash Register Co. Other related suits impend.** But the Remington people are going right ahead with their production and sales. Already $1,500,000 has been invested in developing and pushing the Fuller arrangement, of which some 58,000 have already been manufactured. Also 3,000 workmen of the Remington forces can keep their jobs...
