His friend Governor Roosevelt has spoken for Unemployment Insurance and is also known as quite a Water Power...
...dried with the electric driers used in human beauty parlors. The lounge is decorated with dog murals by Ernest Mills, famed animal painter. The Prince of Wales gave him special permission to include his pet, princely Cairns in the picture. There is a cocktail bar where members may wag their tongues while waiting for their dogs...
