...Patiño Tin. Though he would be the last to admit it. Edward Joel Cornish of National Lead Co. is indirectly one of the biggest contributors to the Bolivian cause in the Gran Chaco War. The Bolivian Government finances the war with a "patriotic" tax on exports; Bolivia's biggest export is tin produced by Patiño Mines & Enterprises Consolidated, Inc.; the hungriest consumer of Simon Patiño's tin is the U.S. and in the U.S. the second biggest buyer of the bluish-white metal is Mr. Cornish.

Regretfully, Lead's President Edward J. Cornish got out. Last week President Cornish got Lead into Associated Lead Manufacturers, Ltd., Great Britain's largest fabricator of lead products.
