...Strawbridges who, as sons of the founders, own most of the stock, carry on family traditions. Morris Lewis Clothier is chairman of the board, a benefactor of the Quaker colleges Swarthmore and Haverford. His brother, Isaac H. Clothier, vice president, is famed as a sportsman and horse fancier. (Their cousin, Robert C. Clothier, who did not go into the store, is president of Rutgers University.) Of the three living sons of Founder Strawbridge only one, Robert, is active as vice president. His brother Francis, a director, retired from active business some years ago as did jovial, sandy-haired Frederic...
...every English crime fancier recalls, the legs, though obviously male, had been femininely peroxided and powdered. Suspicion has been strong that the murdered man had been living with some other man who eventually slew him when threatened with blackmail. Last week Pathologist Spilsbury did much to dash this theory by discovering on the male Brentford Torso three long strands of hair unquestionably female.

Doctor Blue Willing was the gallery's favorite but Norias Annie's trainer, Chesley Harris, insisted that his bitch had a good chance to win two years running.

D. Albright's Silvermont which was taken up after...
Dean Wallace Brett Donham is not only an administrator, a business economist, a fancier of Cape Cod houses and the works of Lewis Carroll, but also a banker, a director of half a dozen corporations, a close friend of many a tycoon. He established the case system of instruction, designed to ground students solidly in the practical, day-to-day problems of big corporations. Immensely proud is he of his school's high standing among corporate employers, its prowess in finding jobs for graduates in prosperity or depression...
Last week the American-Aberdeen Angus Breeders Association celebrated its Golden Jubilee at the Exposition with the greatest of jubilation. Never before could any breed fancier lay claim to so proud a boast. When all the judging was done in the new Temple of Agriculture, black Aberdeen Anguses had waddled off with every top and reserve (second place) prize in every one of the interbreed classes: best 4-H steer (raised by junior farmers), best steer, best herd (of three), best carlot, best get-of-sire (three by the same bull), best carcass. Anguses took a total...
