...Slice & Rice. Every other city has at least one "name" store, as well as a handful of less famous but no less ambitious ones. And though they boast of the barons and movie stars who patronize them, in fact the ordinary working-class German accounts for an increasingly large slice of the business. As one Bonn sociologist points out, the workingman uses smoked eel, sturgeon, venison, curried-rice salad, or even chocolate-covered grasshoppers to liven up his traditional light evening meal. "Today," says Alfred Peters of Michelsen's, which claims to be the largest importer of caviar...

Putting that word to work, Shimkin and three other men in 1939 founded his Pocket Books, Inc., the world's most voluminous softback-book producer, with an annual sale of $20 million from its 20% slice of the mass paperback market in the U.S. Another Shimkin word is "biblio-therapeutic," meaning books that help people.

After a series of sales, including 700,000 shares for $31 million in 1959, that slice has thinned to 3% . Last week Hartford was back at the store again, registering with the Securities and Exchange Commission to put on the market 760,000 more shares, worth $21.8 million at the June 10 close of 28¾. If he decides to sell all that, he will be left with less than 1% of the company...
