From the original Koppers process to its present $227,000,000 form, Eastern Gas & Fuel expanded with curious logic. At first the coke plants were constructed for other companies but as soon as Koppers Co. started to build them for itself, it had to find an outlet for the gas. Though most Koppers units sell gas to local utilities, the gas companies serving Boston and its suburbs were bought outright. To use some of the coke it has a blast furnace near Boston. To insure supplies of coal West Virginia mines were acquired. To keep the mines operating efficiently, coal...
...three homespun pictures for Universal. He waited around three months while the company tried to whip together a story suitable to it and him. Meantime, Universal was not only Daying Guest's salary but $1,200 a week toll charges so that he could broadcast from his Chicago outlet. "My parents always told me it was impossible to get something for nothing," he wrote his son, a Free Press reporter. "It's hard for me to admit they were wrong."

Whistler Garth, who is really Edward B. Dolbey Jr., was not to be discouraged by critics who next day questioned the artistic value of the human whistle.

Unfortunately. Jane Froman, whose part is small and devoid of any outlet for acting ability, photographs poorly and looks rather hard. Her voice registers well but the general effect is not nearly so fortunate as it is in the case of Melton. Pat O'Brien delivers the goods as usual and this reviewer would be glad to see him in a role...
...process is really quite simple, though it has the record of ninetynine percent efficiency. An old brick vault, in the basement of the Fogg Museum, has been painted with white lead on the inside. The only outlet is a thick steel door. Once the objects are locked up inside, gas from a cylinder is forced into the chamber by a powerful pump. The gas, which is allowed to circulate for at least a whole day, has the ability to penetrate almost any thickness of cloth or fibre, even reaching the innermost grains of a hundred pound bag of wheat with...
