...Frank Nathan Daniel Buchman, onetime Y. M. C. A. worker who founded the Oxford Group, a First Century Christian Fellowship, "God is a millionaire." Missing from headlines since their vast house-party at socialite Stockbridge, Mass, last June, the popular evangelist's team of disciples recently has been touring fashionable eastern resorts preaching spiritual placidity and divine guidance. Simultaneously last week they arrived back in the headlines and at the summer headquarters of U. S. millionaires: Newport...
...caught in the Davis Store on a bet. After ups and downs and changes of management, Davis lost, all told, some $3,500,000. Thus when Field's chairman, James O. McKinsey, last week put his signature to a contract conveying the Davis Store to Morris, Nathan, Louis & Joseph Goldblatt (for a carefully concealed price), Mr. McKinsey was, in effect, relieving his firm of a bucket with a hole in the bottom of it. Well did the Goldblatts know it. Nevertheless, this entry into State Street was a crown on their careers...
Born in Staushov, Poland, Brothers Morris, Nathan and Louis made their entry into the U. S. at Ellis Island 30 years ago-before Brother Joseph was born. While Father Goldblatt set up a grocery business, the Goldblatt boys sold newspapers, later got jobs as clerks in a Milwaukee Avenue store. In 1914, by the time elder Brother Morris was 21, they had saved up a few-hundred dollars to set up their own store at Chicago and Ashland Avenues. In 1915 they did $35,000 gross business, in 1920, $225,000, in 1925 $1.825,000 and pushed their profits...
Today Brother Maurice (he is still Morris on corporation statements but he is generally Maurice on social occasions) lives on Sheridan Road. Every morning his Duesenberg calls for him and after stopping to pick up Brother Nathan, who lives nearby, they drive to their luxuriously paneled, air-cooled offices in the Goldblatt warehouse, on lower Lincoln Avenue. Thither from their slightly less pretentious bachelors' apartment come younger Brothers Louis and Joseph in a Lincoln. The Goldblatt family is scrupulously graded by seniority. Maurice and Nathan as "the partners" draw top salaries of $25,000 each, but Maurice, as senior...
When the followers of Dr. Frank Nathan Daniel Buchman wish to emphasize the fact that the Oxford Groups include all sorts of people, they often speak of their "former Communist" colleague, Scotsman James Watt. The Oxford Groups lay no claim to having a "former Fascist" in their midst, and German Buchmanite baronesses hedge when asked how the movement works in the case of German Jews. Last week, to a stray interviewer from the New York World-Telegram, brisk Dr. Buchman readily declared himself on Fascism, now No. i bugaboo to practically all U. S. churchmen...
