...years. Mostly chain-operated, the pancake shops are attractive, glittering clean, well designed, usually are located in suburban areas, where they get maximum family traffic. They offer the once-humble griddle cake, glorified and garnished in up to 37 astonishing varieties (e.g., crepe suzette, blintze, Swedish roll-up, royal Hawaiian). Fast growing Pancake Kitchens, Inc. this week opened its tenth "Aunt Jemima's Kitchen" at Bethpage, Long Island, plans to have 36 shops operating in the Eastern U.S. by 1967. International House, which has 63 shops across the country, is opening new Pancake Houses at a clip...

...need be, can be quickly disposed of. Wall Street Broker Alfred Caspary's 50,000 stamps were sold beginning in 1955 for $2,900,000, and represented a quarter of the value of his estate. The collection of Swiss Tobacco Magnate Maurice Burrus, from which the rare 2? Hawaiian came, will probably realize $8,000,000 when it is all disposed of. Burrus paid $15,000 for the Hawaiian in 1921; last week's sale thus represented a 275% increase in value...
Collectors of Tomorrow. Even such big stamp dealers as Raymond H. Weill of New Orleans, who bought last week's Hawaiian Missionary, cater to a barely profitable business with thousands of youngsters because they hope that enough of them will grow up to be the big and wealthy collectors of tomorrow. But while stamp collectors have earned a reputation as quiet and retiring types, they have sometimes proved to be less than perfect models for the kiddies. A one-penny Mauritius "Post Office" Red recently sold in England for $23,800 is known to have belonged to an unlikely...
