...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.

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. (The deal involved a large but not majority block of stock.) Thus, National Lead is still Señor Patiño's most important customer, with results perhaps...
