...threads of earlier episodes in the saga, yet such is the artistry that the final portrait is complete for one unfamiliar with the earlier volumes. Such one, unfortunate, may indeed sense that dramatic action is over and done, but there remains the thrilling finale fire, and there remains a generous supply of Galsworthy's sound philosophy, and his engrossing though rather unsound sociology...
...which set a new industrial record. Its net of $161,267,974 compares with profits of $129,250,207 for the first six months of 1927. Retail sales totaled 1,062,733 cars, as against 840,481 last year. Out of its plenty, General Motors made a great and generous gesture. It dickered for a time with Metropolitan Life Insurance Co., then announced a contract for a $400,000,000 life, sickness and accident policy, open to any employe from President Alfred Pritchard Sloan Jr., to Jacob Hazay, who works a grinding machine at the Detroit plant.

The master move of his long and wily reign was to call the International Conference of 1876 at Brussels, where he piously proposed to the Great Powers a program for "civilizing" the Congo and suppressing slavery there.

If you were generous, you might allow her a 25% commission on her earnings before speeding her to another city. This, as a matter of fact, is the exact "racket" with which the National Surety Co. last week charged an organized swindling ring, employing 40 girls, operating in many a U. S. city. Recent...
Headquarters for (a) were to be in Chicago. Headquarters for (b) were Mr. Nutt himself, at the Union Trust Co., Cleveland. To assist him in the East, Mr. Nutt picked out a Manhattanite, Jeremiah Milbank, mild-mannered Yale graduate ('09), careful investor of a multi-million patrimony; clubman, generous donor to philanthropies (especially for cripples); director of such concerns as the Southern Railway, Metropolitan Life, Chase National Bank, Corn Products; board chairman of Case, Pomeroy & Co. Like Banker Nutt and the Democracy's Raskob, Mr. Milbank is new-to politics but widely acquainted, keen to learn...
