...Deficits of $2,109,000 in 1931 and $5,519,000 in 1932 were followed by a $109,000,000 gain in the first two-thirds of last year. Mr. Pecora's figures were out of focus because not all brokers answered his questionnaire in the same way. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. and the House of Morgan reported only their modest income from commissions, not their underwriting and banking income.

There is the big white Georgian partners' room, heart of Kuhn, Loeb, where "people just roll in and roll out again." There Otto Kahn worked under his father-in-law, Partner Abraham Wolff. There he became a U. S. citizen during the War. There as Kuhn, Loeb's great "personality" he chatted with railroad tycoons, painters, writers, singers-all wanting help...
News of his death was withheld until the stockmarket closed. At 4 o'clock the curtains of the upper floor where he lay were drawn, and the partners announced that Kuhn, Loeb would remain closed for four days. A few minutes later J. P.
