...Henry! is one of the three best-selling 5? candy bars in the U. S. (others: Milky Way, Baby Ruth). Like most confectioners, Oh Henry's maker-a subsidiary of $1.250.000 General Candy Corp.-is pestered with damage suits. In 1936, 100 people claimed they had broken teeth, bruised gums or damaged their digestion on stones, twigs, wires and nails that slipped by Oh Henry! inspectors. Last year, General's President George Huhn Williamson, following the example of W. F. Schrafft & Sons Co., installed two $3.000 Adrian fluoroscopes (Xray machines), routed as many as 40,000 boxes...

Called upon by broadcasters to say a few words over the radio, Mr. Ormsby was in a sorry predicament. The patrolman to whom he had entrusted his false teeth was at that moment chasing a holiday tippler down the peak...
...Mirror Winchell became increasingly staccato, informative and readable. He developed the Monday column (sub-headed "This Town of Ours," later "Man About Town") which made a specialty of entertaining and impudent eavesdropping ("Edna St. Vincent Millay, the love poem writer, just bought a new set of store teeth"). He invented "welded," "sealed" and "middle aisled" to mean married, "renovated," "wilted" and "have phffft" for parted or divorced. And a glimmering interest in politics was evidenced in this item printed in September 1932: " 'Sonny' Whitney has dropped the name of Vanderbilt because 'it is incongruous' . . . Sonny also...
