Parading smartly about the U. S. these past few weeks has been the elegant figure of M. Lucien Lelong, French War hero and member of that small coterie of Paris couturiers who rule the world of feminine fashion. M. Lelong has been in the U. S. frankly drumming up trade for his dresses and for his new perfume Impromptu which now shares honors with dress shields, bathing caps and fingernail polish in many a corner drugstore. An up & coming rival of M. Lelong is M. Marcel Rochas in both Paris fashions and perfume...
Manager of the Retail Trade Board of the Boston Chamber of Commerce since 1923 has been a ruddy, white-crested lawyer of 47 named Daniel Bloomfield. A relative by marriage of both the Morgenthau and Filene families, Dan Bloomfield began his career as Lincoln Filene's associate in Boston's big Filene department store.

Copeland* of Harvard's Graduate School of Business Administration dwelt long and lovingly on commodity prices as a reflection both of U. S. trade and of the state of the world. Be cause of trade barriers and the nationalistic spirit, commodity prices began a general decline in 1925 which continued after the crash of 1929. On war demand and business revival early this year they had a strong comeback until the speculative collapse in commodities in England coupled with President Roosevelt...
