...worthless, when in 1931, after announcing a net income of $8,000,000 for the preceding year, it continued to pay dividends because "the defendants were at all times keeping up representations to the public that the company was sound and the stock a good buy." Burden of proof lay in two algebraic equations which the court found chalked on a blackboard one morning. The equations...
Completed three years ago at a cost of $1,250,000, the Embassy buildings, with their bases of steel gridirons, are positively earthquake proof.

Yet we will press no one who does not wish to be included. This opportunity of voluntarily meeting with other members of the University, of discussing problems with them, of playing together in informal...
...partitioning was merely one more proof that Mr. Jones is no passive investor. Because RFC money is almost invariably involved, reorganization plans must satisfy Mr. Jones as well as the courts, the Interstate Commerce Commission and the security holders. Last week Cleveland's Oris Paxton Van Sweringen dropped in to see Mr. Jones about pulling Missouri Pacific out of the courts. In referring to plans for reorganizing Chicago & Eastern Illinois, Mr. Jones announced that he might have one or two ideas. Fortnight ago when ICCommissioner Mahaffie flatly refused to approve RFC loans to several carriers including New York...
