...cotton experts were in substantial agreement that: 1) Even a brief Lancashire strike would depress the market for raw cotton as British orders were curtailed. 2) Only a long Lancashire strike would boom the U. S. cotton textile trade. Reason: the British mills have reserve stocks of the type of high class cotton cloth competitively manufactured in the U.

So Professor Dart boldly reasons that he belonged to a family intermediate between the higher apes and man, was in a way cousin to both. Professor Dart is now looking for an Australopithecus hind foot. If it is more human-like than apelike he will be reasonably...
...also as its garage, linked this rumored "aero-car" with the Montgomery Ward story. General Motors offices belittled the story, said that with 30,000 G. M. dealers there was no need for mailorder distribution of General Motors products. Asked whether General Motors was planning a car of the type described, the reply was that General Motors had so many experimental projects, each productive of many rumors, that it could not even dignify with a denial every report that reached its ears...
