Works Undefiled. Cole was the shy and sensitive son of an English immigrant who had set up shop as a wallpaper maker in the bustling new town of Steubenville, Ohio, where he arrived in 1818. Thomas helped his father with designs, was shown how to paint likenesses by one of the itinerant portrait painters who trudged from town to isolated town in early America.

Thus CDC turned down applications for liquor stores and a hippie-trinket shop.

Thus far, $1,000,000 has been distributed in loans ranging from $2,200 to $25,000. Another $1,000,000 went to the biggest slum landlord in Savannah, a Negro. The money will...
