...Caddie, or a Lincoln, or an elegant house, or a mink coat-they smell of money, everybody knows what they cost. But the trouble with a man's suit is that, to most men, all suits are pretty much alike. You know-two legs, two sleeves. The label's on the inside, where nobody sees it. If we knew how to get the label on the outside, we'd all be in clover...
Skinny Prosperity. Expanding sales are not necessarily followed by bigger profits for dealers. Appliance prices have been pushed down by discounting, intense competition among two dozen major manufacturers, and the spread of the private-label brands sold by the chains.

Congress is considering six bills that would tighten Government controls over cigarette sales, label cigarettes as injurious, or force manufacturers to list the tar and nicotine contents on their packages. The bills have little chance of passing soon, but the Federal Trade Commission figures that it already has the powers to get tough. Last week it proposed to ban advertising that makes smoking out to be manly or glamorous...
