...last week given a U. S. Navy contract for 54 bombing and torpedo planes. The Navy also took an option to buy 96 more planes of the same type within five weeks. The 54 planes already contracted for will cost $1,560,000; the entire order will assure a full year of steady work to the 800 Glenn L. Martin employes...

A doting father of six, a pompous cashier in his bank, a champion bowler, he is admirable in all things, full of little unpricked vanities, and simply worshipful in an Olympian set of whiskers that obscure almost a half of his necktie but add immeasurably to his dignity...
