...owns only one suit of clothes, and has traveled by ox cart, automobile and burro in every state in the Federation studying the Indians of his land. Professionally he is a humorist. His little wax figures, never more than six inches high, are shown in box frames of glittering tin that the artist makes himself. They have little or no social message...
...American Can were worth $12,300 and 100 shares of Continental Can were worth $7,900. On the two investments, the buyer would be out $4,687.

But Owens-Illinois' President William Edward Levis did not take canned beer lying down. Last week he announced the purchase of two tin can factories-Tin Decorating Co. of Baltimore and Enterprise Can Co. of McKees Rocks, Pa. Tin Decorating, a subsidiary of American Tobacco Co., manufactured tobacco cans. For it Owens-Illinois paid $3,320,000 cash. Enterprise Can made a general line of cans, not including beer cans.
