Sale of the stock will provide no money for the company, the shares having been purchased from the Morrissey family, big stockholders. A similar deal last week was the marketing of 49,790 common shares of Harrisburg Steel Corp., a $2,000,000 maker of steel couplings and steel cylinders for gases...

No law banning their sale was yet in sight, but in answer to hundreds of inquiries from chameleon purchasers the Department sent out bulletins on "The American Chameleon and Its Care...

Cherished by four generations of the House of Bourbon, fought over by the three ghostly old sisters of the late Don Jaime, Carlist pretender to the Spanish throne, a famed diamond necklace was finally up for sale by the two sisters who have clung to it since 1931: 68-year-old Blanche de Castille, Archduchess of Austria, and 63-year-old Marie Beatrice Therese Charlotte, Princess of Massimo.
