...American archeology and ethnology interested him much more than hats. At the start of the War he jumped into aviation, flew for a year in France. In 1925 President Coolidge appointed him Minister to Poland. After he resigned in 1930, he formed a brokerage firm with a Philadelphia banker, Daniel S. Blackman. Broker Stetson, who was reported to have put up the capital, became the floor member.

When housewives sauntered out of Piggly-Wiggly, Sanitary and Daniel Reeves grocery stores last September they tucked under their elbows, between the string beans and the meat, a copy of Family Circle.
