Occasionally it buys out a retailer who is going out of business, to preserve a good outlet. Wallach's with nine stores in and around Manhattan is now a Hart Schaffner & Marx subsidiary, having been bought after the original owners announced that they intended to close. Useful as retail laboratories, the stores last year contributed about one-half of total profits ($484,405). During Depression...

For the first time in five weeks, long-range shells from Generalissimo Francisco Franco's White guns zoomed into Madrid, struck the long-suffering, U. S.-owned telephone building, killed a half-dozen citizens. From the Madrid deadlock Generalissimo Franco turned to strike at Valencia where the Radical Government is taking cover, sent an attacking force to Viver, 34 miles northwest of Valencia...
Although the needy clients of the Bureau have in the past found its services invaluable, even greater advantages are gained by the law students for whom it forms an ideal clinical outlet. As other professional schools, such as those of medicine and dentistry, have found charity work of this kind a happy supplement to the more theoretical studies of the classroom, so the untried legal minds of Harvard should gain valuable experience from these practical contacts with...
