Largest maker of dress silks is Stehli Silks Corp. Susquehanna, Schwarzenbach Huber & Co., Cheney Bros., C. K. Eagle are all large silk makers, but their business is less specialized. In 1929 Stehli sold 14,000,000 yards-enough for 5,000,000 dresses. About three-fourths was sold to dress manufacturers, one-fourth to stores for over-the-counter distribution. Their annual volume is nearly $25,000,000. The business was founded by Statthalter Rudolph Stehli in Obfelden, Switzerland, in 1837, has remained in the family ever since. The company now has 3, 500 looms scattered through Switzerland, Italy, Germany...
...found such concentrations in Florida's "panhandle" district, in the Crane Lake area of Illinois, along Missouri's Sheridan River. Southern California's flight, usually 40 miles wide, was ten miles last year. Little affected by Drought were areas on Puget Sound, the Columbia River, the Susquehanna flats, and Long Island.

This year the Department of Agriculture plans to purchase or lease some 40,000 acres...

Once the bread trucks were hours behind time, but somehow they kept on going. Troopers patrolling the march discreetly looked the other way when they saw a 1931 automobile license in the line. Governor Pinchot had ordered the stringent State law relaxed...
Last week the third and greatest unit went into operation when Safe Harbor Water Power Corp. started its first generator, began to deliver power to Baltimore. Safe Harbor, Pa. got its name many years ago when the mouth of Conestoga Creek offered shelter to Susquehanna flat boats. In 1929, when work began on Safe Harbor dam, it was a quiet village. Little work had been done when the stock-market crashed in November but construction went on at a faster pace. The company's bankers, Aldred & Co. of New York, supplied money to Arundel Corp., construction engineers, whenever they...
...foresaw the electrification of the Pennsylvania Railroad from New York to Washington. Last week Aldred & Co. were able to announce the largest single power contract in U. S. history when Safe Harbor got an order from Pennsylvania to supply current for its lines from the east bank of the Susquehanna into the capital. Besides this, Safe Harbor transmission lines connect with the widespread delivery system of the Holtwood dam, reaching into Baltimore, Lancaster, York, Coatesville...
