...Disney, Inc. "It was always my ambition to own a swell camera," says Walt Disney, "and now, godammit, I got one. I get a kick just watching the boys operate it, and remembering how I used to have to make 'em out of baling wire." The baling wire period in Walt Disney's life lasted from 1901 to 1930.

T. & T. deal. Some of its other flotations like Roosevelt Field, Inc. and R. Hoe & Co. added nothing to its name, but E. B. Smith managed to avoid the subsequent attention lavished by the Senate Banking & Currency Committee on most of its peers...
...looked, however, as though they had succeeded with cuff links. Hickok Manufacturing Co. (men's accessories) announced triumphantly: "American men have bought more cuff links in the last four months than they bought in the previous four years." Other cufflink makers told the same story: Swank Products Inc. that it was selling ten times as many cuff links as it was a year ago; Krementz & Co. that its cufflink sales were...
