...Quintanilla drawings show war's effects on the streets of Madrid and Almeria, on the villagers of Andalusia surprised by bombing and strafing airplanes, on Moorish, Italian, German and Spanish prisoners, on wounded men in hospitals.

His startling discovery is that the scheme does work, that men are honest. Thus the employer keeps his promise, within a "thousandth of a per cent" to pay his employes. Employers, manufacturers, retailers, tenants, banks, even "soulless" corporations and installment buyers-all these, says Author Scherman, pay their financial...
