The record of those proceedings clearly shows that Commercial Credit Co. had nothing whatever to do with the employment of Mr. Croy.

For by the time Florence Allen, several gulps of water and 70 minutes later, had finished reading it was clear that TVA had scored a monumental legal victory...
...when the California Chain Stores Association hired the big Chicago advertising agency of Lord & Thomas to help it defeat a chain-store tax (TIME, Nov. 9, 1936). Lord & Thomas put young Theodore W. Braun on the job. Ted Braun had made something of a reputation as a marketing counsel in Los Angeles.
