Most of Abbott's actors have worked for him before, call themselves unofficially the Abbott Acting Company, team together smoothly. Arlene Francis is a countess who could warm any blueblood, and Allyn Joslyn, one of the merry scenarists in Boy Meets Girl, makes the playboy a likable wag in spite of his practical jokes and bowlegged puns. Sample: "A lecher is a man who collects lechings...
...lectures was 90,000. The number of visitors to the Museum last year was 350,996, including children. This figure is about 101% of Toledo's population.

About 3,000,000 of the telephone poles now standing are products of Joslyn Manufacturing & Supply Co. of Chicago. This is less than one-twentieth the number that U.

Financial writers then discovered Marcellus Joslyn's old labor policy, adopted during the post-War period of strikes...
After three years with the company, each Joslyn officer and employe, must begin to pay from 2.5% to 5% of his salary into a trust fund to which the company gives not less than 10% of its annual earnings and not more than four times the total contribution from employes. On retiring because of disability or age, Joslyn workers receive the fruits of their savings and the company's profits in a lump sum which often not only provides for them but makes them comparatively rich. The fund now totals $742,600 and payments totaling $266,000 have already...
