When Governor Smith heard what happened, he said: "If the Conservation Department has taken that spotted fawn [which he had named First Ballot] from a crippled boy, I'll send it back to him so quickly, you won't see it for dust. Yes, I'll send him back another one with it and a dog if he wants...
...History. Utterly out of proportion to Haiti's size and importance are the spectacular dramatics of its history. In 1492 Columbus discovered it, marveled at its extraordinary beauty and fertility, bartered beads and gaudy bracelets for pretty gold-dust friendly "Indians" had found. But the Spaniards' brutality reduced these Indians to a paltry number and, needing laborers, they began importing large numbers of Africans. Before long the color line was so loosely drawn that very few of Santo Domingo's inhabitants could boast unmixed blood. Added to Spanish, Creoles and blacks, were soon the French and English...
American Linseed has not tried to abandon flaxseed products. But ten years ago it began to develop a sideline. Just as American Cotton Oil (now Gold Dust) pushed its soaps, American Linseed began to make and push a line of foodstuffs-Nucoa Nut margarine, Best Foods mayonnaise, relish spreads, thousand island dressing, shortening, Bread & Butter pickle relish.

The talk was brief-a new corporation, Gold Dust American Corp., would be formed and for its stock the Rockefellers would exchange their American Linseed preferred stock. Minority preferred holders and the commonholders would have opportunity to trade their shares for the new company...
...usually the easiest part of the work. Much more difficult is whipping two sales organizations together. So difficult is this that some organizations keep original sales forces intact and separate. The Chrysler-(Dodge)-Dillon deal of last fortnight (TIME, June 11) is such a case. But with Gold Dust and American Linseed the problem is relatively simple. Both sell to the same grocers-cleansers and foods. Salesmen need add only a few loose leaves to their portfolios. But there are apt to be fewer salesmen than the two companies now separately employ...
