...rare interview in 1929. George Morrow remarked: "We are like Tunney. We have never been beaten." At that time the statement was true. The Brothers Morrow, having migrated to Manhattan from a farm near Toronto, had taken a hand in Gold Dust Corp., been enormously successful in revamping American Cotton Oil Co., had built up an enviable reputation as smart corporate reorganizers.

...involved cases where SEC had granted additional time. Despite wrathful predictions made when the Securities Exchange Act was passed, no major corporation had failed to file. Most of the securities delisted were small inactive issues. Only popular stock to leave the Big Board was Noranda Mines, heavily traded in Toronto.
