When such mergers occur, the financing is 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.

Politics and publicity are synonymous, and the easiest way to attain the latter is by insulting the intelligentsia and amusing the thinking minority. Harrying the agents of George the Fifth from the land and smoking a brace of cigars simultaneously are only a passing indication of the range and color of his demagogical accomplishments. Along with "the World...
...Stadium Press Box, and as those who have tried to crash the sacred portals will testify, he runs it in a very efficient manner. The system of "spotters", announcers, and operators, explained elsewhere in this issue, is his invention, and makes the Harvard press box one of the easiest to work...
