Dalley Corp.-Shinola, Two-in-One, Bixby brands. Early this year he was negotiating to add Ball fruit jars and Crosse & Blackwell's good English jams, marmalades and other dainties.

Hollywood, even from an administrative office, allures: but by the tropics the palm is held most imperiously for him who would dare. And if fruit and sugar production fails to fill the craving for the Caribbees, still there is sunshine, and white flannels for the asking, and doubtless castanets and the habanera. Who would quibble when Cuba offers herself to the habitue of Sever...
