...Chicago in a covered wagon and went into the grocery trade. With his brother and another Vermonter, Ezra J. Warner, he formed the wholesale house of Sprague, Warner & Co., which grew with lusty young Chicago. Sprague Warner was a pioneer in the packaging of food, and its Richelieu brands became more famous than the hotel for which they were named.* By the time the second Ezra J. Warner died in 1933, Sprague Warner was a far-flung manufacturing and wholesale house, as prestigious as Manhattan's Charles & Co. or Boston's S. S. Pierce, and a good deal...
...Gaumont-British). To millions for whom the cinema is history's picture book, great figures like Alexander Hamilton, Disraeli, Voltaire, Rothschild. Richelieu et al. share one marked characteristic-an extraordinary resemblance to Actor George Arliss. Once even God looked something like him (The Man Who Played God).

His family gave the Catholic Church a cardinal, and Premier Taschereau, like France's great 17th Century Cardinal Richelieu, has prodigious habits of work, a suave and barbed wit, a lean, aristocratic grey face, an iron will. Nevertheless, last week he paid a stiff price for the fatty degeneration 39 years of power had brought to Quebec Liberals...
...President's corps of favorites is reported to be squirming with jealousy, the New York Sun's Correspondent George Van Slyke made so bold fortnight ago as to bill Dr. High not merely as the Democracy's political chaplain but as President Roosevelt's personal Richelieu. "It is to be an evangelical cam-paign," predicted Van Slyke. "Mr. Roosevelt will preach sugary sermons on brotherly love and the new social order, without making the direct appeal to class distinction and class hatreds as obvious and bitter as in his spring speeches.
