...Consumers' $28,500,000 bond issue. Foe of competitive bidding, Wendell Willkie had already arranged to have the issue handled by conservative Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. and Bonbright & Co., Inc., who step out one door when competitive bidders step in at another, holding that both investor and issuer are best served by honest, astute, noncompetitive handling. Since the Consumers Power stock issue is small potatoes to any underwriter, there was a shrewd suspicion that Mr. Eaton was really aiming at the bond issue (on which the banking fee at 2% would be more than $500,000), rather than...

May I appeal to you earnestly to avail yourself of this factual material...
...investors had got the scare out of their systems before the first bomb was dropped by Hitler's airmen on the Vistula bridges. Before the ink was dry on the first war extras, the stockmarket zoomed. One day's listless market (457,890 shares) became peacetime financial history. The next morning as the Germans entered Poland, 1,970,000 shares (1939's daily average 720,072 shares; 1939's biggest day, 2,888,000 shares) changed hands on the New York Stock Exchange. War babies (steel, metals, aircrafts) led the advance. Bethlehem Steel, Santa Claus to many a World...
