...reason for Amadeo Peter Giannini and Elisha Wralker to get along than there was for them to differ. If you like and respect Elisha Walker, who is always neatly dressed and who was born to society and Wall Street, who gives an impression of careful, methodical methods, you may distrust the attitudes of Mr. Giannini. If you like "A.
