Last week little Franks Manufacturing Co. had better than $200,000 worth of unfilled orders that had piled up in 40 days, an anticipated 1939 gross of $600,000, net of $150,000. Portable derricks seem to be catching on. Humble Oil Co. has ordered an initial two. If enough U.

...only ties, handkerchiefs, gloves, and such stuff in prospect. Where are the days when Vag could tingle with the expectation of an electric train? Erector sets--where are they?
