...simply have had a ready market for our products, and we've turned out the goods." Thus, Lone Star Steel Co. President Eugene B. Germany explained last week how his company had netted profits of $4.8 million in the first half of the year, more than it had earned all last year. In the same way scores of other companies found a ready market, turned out the goods-and reported record first-half or second-quarter profits last week.

Trouble finds him. One day, while John's back is turned, Chief Scar and his wild Comanches swoop down and massacre his relatives, carrying off two young girls for their own fell purposes...

The lone big-time survivor, Ringling Bros., last week said that business in Manhattan and Boston so far this year is down only 7% to 11% from record 1955, predicted that 1956 would be the fourth best year in its history. Ringling has valiantly tried to slash costs in recent years, e.g., by installing a centralized purchasing system, designing a new nylon Big Top which is hauled up and down by hydraulic jacks and should last three years...
