...from grandfather's roll top. But it was a desk, all right. There was even space where a man could do some work. But Gunn Furniture Co.'s desk-of-tomorrow (improved version) had other virtues; and visitors to the eighth annual office-equipment display in Chicago last week rightfully gaped at them...
...office-furniture industry does not neglect the executive's helpers. On display at the same Chicago show last week was a new automatic typewriter-a gadget which makes up business letters from numerous combinations of recorded sentences (e.g., "yours of the tenth inst. rec'd.").

They call each other brothers and sisters; they use no profanity nor unkind language; they use no weapons of defense. They are temperate in eating and drinking, they use no vain display of clothes. . . . They do not go to law before judicial courts, but bear everything patiently, as they say, in the Holy Spirit. Who would suppose that under this sheep's clothing only ravening wolves are hidden...
