...called "silent vote" which really decides presidential elections -began last fortnight to divide, if not into Republicans and Democrats, at least into Hoover voters and Smith voters. In many an instance the final determination of the individual to vote for Hoover or for Smith will not occur until November. A pretty girl at the polling booth, or an ugly man, or a hangover, a new hat, a spun coin, will be the deciding factor...
When such mergers occur, the financing is usually the easiest part of the work. Much more difficult is whipping two sales organizations together. So difficult is this that some organizations keep original sales forces intact and separate. The Chrysler-(Dodge)-Dillon deal of last fortnight (TIME, June 11) is such a case.

An amazing spectacle, certainly, and one that promises somewhat more government by the people than...
...come statistics, none of prime importance, all offering more or less of an insight into the minds of incipient alumni. That inclusive giant "Business" is hailed as the favored occupation, while the professions follow below in varying degrees of popularity. Sports, such as Painting, Radio Engineering, and Oil Refining occur and there is, of course, a large number of men who did not signify their future work...
