Mr. Dodge sent a memorandum to Mr. Wiggin, said that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. might be brought in on Fox financing, added, "I am loath to do [this] unless necessary, as the splitup of the gravy would hurt my feelings."

...syndicate, and the balance was allotted among such friendly interests as the security affiliate of Chicago's Continental National Bank & Trust (now Continental Illinois National Bank & Trust), the bank's Chairman Arthur Reynolds, and Promoter Archie Moulton Andrews.

...gold instead of black braid, with new eight-pointed caps. The new uniforms will be put on Western Union messengers throughout the U. S. Every night all messengers have to turn in their uniforms to be pressed (and periodically cleaned), their puttees to be shined. †Rev. James Henry Wiggin, retired from the Unitarian ministry in 1875, edited theological and technical manuscripts for the Cambridge Press.
