...Glenn Luther Martin looks like a Y. M. C. A. secretary and makes some of the world's most efficient bombers. In the first nine months this year, his company sold nearly $12,000,000 worth of airplanes and equipment, netting $2,000,000. But his stockholders have never drawn a dividend, all profits having been ploughed back into the company for plant expansion...
Last week, with a $14,000,000 backlog of unfilled orders and enough new contracts in sight to keep his plant running full blast through 1940, Glenn Martin decided he needed more money for working capital and expansion. He will offer to stockholders in the ratio of one new share for each six now held 156,000 shares of Glenn L. Martin Co. common at $20 a share (last week's market price: $33).

His findings: parents from the northern States...
...pugilistic freak is Henry Armstrong. A bantamweight from the waist down and a welterweight from the waist up, he has arms as fast as Glenn Cunningham's legs -and just as tireless. He can throw 1,200 punches in a 15-round fight (as he did against Barney Ross last May) and appear no more fatigued than if he had spent an evening at a Harlem shindig. He has fought on an average of twice a month in the past year, has knocked out 35 of his last 38 opponents. Most fight fans agreed that the little Iron...
