...enough about the Insull properties to undertake their management without Mr. Insull's assistance. What Mr. Brown did not say, and what is highly relevant to his difficulty, is that Mr. Insull's chief danger consisted in his ability to borrow more money than he could handle; like Mr. Krueger, he suffered from a continual embarras de richesses, and was, in boom times, hard put to it in his effort to use the money which flowed into his hands. To this difficulty Mr. Insull was, however, equal; there was the Colorado River Dam, and the pyrrhic battle with Cyrus Eaton...

Conductor Krueger. born in Manhattan, trained in Vienna, is a person of vast enthusiasm and energy. Under his regime Seattle's Symphony has come to be recognized as a major U. S. orchestra. But all this autumn there has been trouble brewing behind the scenes. A $15,000 deficit has accumulated; the orchestra has had to curtail its season from 20 to ten weeks. Conductor Krueger gave $2,000 of his $15,000 salary to make it eleven weeks...
