Heavy though the atmosphere of genealogical respectability in James Talcott, Inc. may be, it has never been a detriment to trade. In the past ten years the annual volume of Talcott business has grown from $11,000,000 to $68,000,000 and is currently running at the rate of nearly $100,000,000 per year. To finance this expansion, Talcott turned to the public for the first time last spring, selling $1,500,000 worth of preferred stock. Last week it again went to the public, this time with an issue of 100,000 shares of common stock...
Factoring in the U. S. grew up around the textile trade in the 19th Century, although the old British common law term was not used generally until Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes applied the word when he was in private practice.

In 1934 Manhattan's Federal Judge Julian William Mack handed down a 100,000-word opinion, holding among other things that the Institute and its members...
...spring with a few minor modifications. Its pristine vitality gone, its name more a liability than an asset, the Sugar Institute meantime whittled down its activities to the gathering of innocent sugar statistics. Publicly the sugar men took their legal spanking in good grace. Privately they complain that other trade associations were, and still are, getting away with things that the Sugar Institute never even attempted...
ORIGINALLY written for those outside the trade, this little "attempt at a rationale of book-typography" has reached a position of respect among eminent practicing printers. In 29 pages Mr. Morison lays down the laws of typography with consummate skill. For the layman the chief delight of his essay is in its effective demolition of the school of so-called "fine printing" Mr. Morison fulminates so beautifully against tricky type-fonts, odd proportions of type and page, misplaced color and the rough edges of handmade paper that it is reasonable to assume any journeyman reader of his remarks will think...
