...will confine my efforts to manufacturing," said Clement O. Miniger, robust but lately pale president of Electric Auto-Lite Co. A hard-working businessman, Mr. Miniger was caught in the swirl of real estate and banking developments by the boom, found himself a round $5,000,000 poorer when Toledo was forced to take stock of itself. Now, to recoup losses, he is working harder than ever. Automobile accessory business curtailed. Auto-Lite is making $1 electric clocks, selling them in large lots to chainstores. All the money "lost" in all failed banks in the U. S. in 1931 will...

They hid the treasure in the house, invited the neighbors to a surprise party. By the time the night of the party came they had worried so much about...
...will continue to maintain the dividend now." Eight days later Smelters shareholders were chagrined to hear that the directors had ordered a 25% reduction in the dividend?from $2 to $1.50 (against $4 early this year). Either upon returning to his office President Guggenheim had seen figures much poorer than he expected, or else the Smelters directorate, ten of whose 25 members are employes of the company, had voted the onetime (1907-13) Colorado Senator down. With a board of directors so favorable to him, it seemed most likely that the former was true, that President Guggenheim had spoken...
