...best impartial estimates in the chewing gum trade, no single company does so much as half the total bubble gum business. Frank H. Fleer Corp. ("Bubble Bubble") and Gum, Inc., are each credited with about 30%, the Goudy Gum Co. of Boston with slightly less.

Neumann, chubby, sage and glowing enthusiast of 30 years' standing for "new" art, art lovers were greeted with the unusual spectacle of an exhibition composed wholly of old masters.

Here again the Guardian seems to be an unduly obedient follower of the incidental divisions established by older generations. For such a "traditionalism" they are to be commended, but too great a traditionalism leads to stagnation and lifelessness. A spirit of independent innovation, even a little revolutionary initiative, appear to me more in a style of a magazine of the youth than a too correct imitation of the Academic...
