Last month much smoke over Burns Bros, indicated trouble in the boiler-room of management from which should come the steam that makes for profits. One cloud of smoke was the resignation of President Wertheim, the election of Noah H. Swayne as his successor. Another cloud was a sudden, alarming drop of all Burns securities.
