Exclaimed exultant, shining-faced Mr. Zeidler: "I used nothing else than modern merchandising methods. See 'em, tell 'em, sell 'em." Said Dan Hoan: "I leave my public tasks "with no rancor." Commented the Washington Post: "Time takes its toll even of gratitude. The people of Athens got tired of hearing Aristides called the just and the people of Milwaukee apparently...
