The award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1936 to the Foreign Minister of the Argentine directs attention to the part South America is starting to play on the world stage.

Full-page newspaper advertisements screamed: "The Consumer will NOW decide." Macy's said it would henceforth offer goods in three classifications plainly labeled and described as 1) merchandise on which the price is fixed, 2) merchandise on which the price is not fixed, 3) merchandise marked "Macy's Own-Why Pay More...
