...another, much bigger merger of old Standard units: Standard Oil Co. (New Jersey) and Standard of California. Such a merger would span the continent, would bring together $2,381,289,000 in assets, would create by far the biggest oil company in the world. It would give an outlet to California's tremendous crude production (including half of the Kettleman Hills field) through the extensive marketing system which New Jersey has built up in the central and south Atlantic states, in Europe and Latin America...
Liberty had been Publisher Patterson's especial pride. When the money-making Daily News proved no outlet for the Tribune's profits, he deliberately set himself (in 1924) to challenge the Saturday Evening Post. He aimed at a slightly more jazz-loving level of the public than Satevepost's audience is supposed to be. Spending some $14,000,000 he got as high as 2,470,882 readers.

He hopes he pounds the right one tonight if opportunity occurs...
...Bethlehem the deal (accomplished by issuing treasury stock and notes) means an assured outlet for structural steel. It also means that the Mellon interests, now represented on the McClintic-Marshall board by Richard Beatty Mellon, will become relatively big Bethlehem stockholders, as occurred in Pullman when it acquired Standard Steel Car Corp. No small thing is a Mellon connection. Mr. McClintic and Mr. Marshall invested in the Koppers Co., have never missed a Koppers contract. McClintic-Marshall also owns securities in Aluminum Co., gets Aluminum's business. To Pittsburgh, the deal means the passing of another close family corporation...
