Banker Van Vetchen's availability as a President is not lessened by his directorates on the Nickel Plate Railroad, the Advance-Rumley Co. (agricultural implements) and the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. The State Bank has resources of $66,000,000, is well organized, prodigiously profitable, but rather a neighborhood affair as great banks go at present. It hopes that Banker Van Vechten can wrap the purple of prestige about his new colleagues, lead them to diocesan power...
...Tire Fabrics. In Akron, Ohio, President Bertram G. Work of the B. F.

Unfortunately, as usual in these reflections, no supporting evidence is given so that any rebuttal is out of the question. All we can do is to take these cubistic portraits in the good-humor that Thomas K. Beecher said made all things tolerable. --Cornell Daily...
...acting both sanely and with a judicial preciseness. Better a Tartuffe dead and a harlequin living, than more moss covered morals and a reign of petty terror. Yet it is rather unfortunate that the issue could not have been more clear cut and satisfying. Wowseries are often quite as tire some as ethical sentimentalizing...
