...politician senses his downfall. Thirty percent of our property is already in the hands of the State. The Mediterranean fly was an excuse to further pauperize the henchmen of the favored politician. We, unless soon relieved of their means of support, shall have an indigent population as fatal to progress as England's "Dole" receivers. If left to ourselves I really believe we can work out these problems. But every worker amongst us is soon discouraged at seeing a truckload of five husky young men drive up to a homestead, two men reach for and pick perhaps one pepper...
...last week made no report. Of other potent steel companies, the following have announced 1929 earnings to date: Republic Iron & Steel Co. This Ohio company, with both William G. Mather, big-Cleveland-iron-man and Cyrus S. Eaton, big-Cleveland-steel-man, on its di rectorate, has made extraordinary progress during the past year. After a somewhat in-and-out period from 1923 through 1927, the company acquired Trumbull Steel Co. in February 1928. In April 1928 it got able Elmer T. McCleary to leave the vice-presidency of Youngstown Sheet & Tube Co. and become its president. Soon earnings began...
Exceptional in its character, Commercial National has also been exceptional in its progress. The bank was formed with capital stock of $7,000,000 and surplus of $7,000,000.

At this rate the bank, at the end of its first year of business life, will have attracted more than $150,000,000 in deposits and earned more than $1,500,000. It has about $40,000,000 in cash on hand...
...little man was Frank Xavier Alexander Eble, called "Alphabet" by his friend because of his four initials. The chair was that of the Commissioner of Customs to which he had just been appointed by President Hoover. The first day in office Commissioner Eble smiled his satisfaction at the progress being made on the Customs Bureau's chief problem-smuggled liquor from Canada to Detroit where the Treasury now has stationed some 400 U. S. agents, mostly Customs officers. That the flow was being dammed was evident from the fact that in June, 112,878 gallons of liquor officially cleared...
...Corp. will soon absorb one or another of its competitors. All such rumors Mr. Sarnoff, just back from Europe, last week denied. He was particularly emphatic in denying published reports that he had made a hurried trip to Chicago where, last fortnight, a Radio-Keith-Orpheum convention was in progress and a rumor was rampant that RKO was trying to buy out Paramount-Famous-Lasky...
