...pioneered as high-volume manufacturers of men's clothing ("One just price and just one price"). They brought out the first honest-to-goodness virgin-wool suits in 1900, and a tropical-weight suit in 1917. About the same time in Rochester, two other clothiers, Jeremiah Hickey and Jacob Freeman, were sewing up their own vested interests. Last week the two companies that these men founded joined hands across the rack in an $11 million stock-swapping merger deal...
...King Arthur and tempered by romantic Pre-Raphaelite gentility, adorned the covers of Collier's, Century and Scribner's. His best-known commission (around $50,000) was a 28-ft.-long mural of Old King Cole for the merry old souls in the bar of John Jacob Astor's Hotel Knickerbocker, which can still be seen in Manhattan's Hotel St. Regis.

And in Florence, European representatives of an international society for Christian-Jewish cooperation met to discuss their latest efforts to combat antiSemitism. There, Catholics and Protestants attended a service of prayer at the city's Jewish temple...
...ever a feller needed a friend, it was Willie. And sure enough, a guardian angel appeared: Jacob Shemano, 51, president of San Francisco's Golden Gate National Bank. Jake Shemano looks more like a Hollywood Buddha than a banker; he favors green velvet shirts, smokes English Ovals like he was trying to give up Bantron, and originally became a good friend of Willie Mays, he explains, because "I am a very athletically inclined person myself." By mid-1963, he had talked Mays into depositing every cent of his $105,000 salary into the trust department of Golden Gate National...
