Step I was taken in 1916, when the brothers-two farm boys who went to the city and spent their savings buying empty lots-were already successful real estate operators in Cleveland. They had a suburban development called Shaker Heights which needed a rapid transit line to the heart of the city. For a rapid transit line they needed a right of way. They thought of hiring one from the nearby Nickel Plate Road. They went to the New York Central (which owned more than 50% of the stock of the Nickel Plate) and came away not only with...

Quiet, busy bachelors who live together in the fashionable Shaker Heights district which they built up, the "Vans" have always been shy of publicity.

The Depression has brought a severe...
