...through 1930, proprietor of the obsession was Great Britain's famed Sir Thomas (tea) Lipton, who spent $4,000,000 on five unsuccessful tries to "lift the Mug." Skipper Sopwith challenged for the Cup for the first time in 1934. Beaten after a disputed finish in the fourth race, he sailed home in a rage, announced he would never challenge again, took almost two years to change his mind.

...arts & sciences but of the "art of predatory or high finance." Mr. Douglas spoke from two years' experience studying so-called protective and reorganization committees-"a vantage point from which the whole problem [of capital exploitation and dissipation] can be viewed advantageously." Last week the fourth and fifth reports on this subject prepared by Lawyer Douglas and his SEC co-workers were sent to Congress.

Ayres observed last week: "The declines in stock, bond and commodity prices are not astonishing. They were all overdue, for prices had been marked up overly fast by speculation. . . .

...always been the hope of devising an Old Gold promotion as effective as that of Camels, Lucky Strikes or Chesterfields on less than half the money spent to advertise each of those brands. Lennen & Mitchell's original slogan, "Not a cough in a carload," put Old Golds fourth among big-selling cigarets, but neither that nor "Double your money back" offers in 1935 and 1936 promised to boost Old Gold sales anywhere near the Big Three.
