More closely identified with that architecture than anyone else alive is a burly, white-haired man of 69 who lives and does most of his breathing at a drafting board in Detroit's New Center Building.

And as the products of those companies girdle the globe, so do the works of Albert Kahn, Inc. Employing a normal staff...
...KECA would not carry President Roosevelt's fireside chats during the campaign unless the stations were paid for the time. Well might Manager Holliway vary from the norm.

Leasing this property, Parker Morelli also acquired no less than 14 old Mitchells (no relation to Dealer Mitchell). Some had never been used; they originally cost from $3,400 to $4,800 and when Mr. Mitchell could not sell them at that price, he had hung on to them. Parker Morelli, promptly putting all 14 on sale, by last week had sold the lot-at prices ranging from $15 to $25. One 1905 yellow roadster...
...most highly, but the marks in them are on an unfairly high level when compared with other courses in the same field. A "B" necessitates only a little occasional effort.
