In order to equal the extravaganza of the laborer
who drinks 5cent glass of beer after his day work
Mr.. Morgan would have to consume $50 quarts OF
champagne at $5 quart.
Mr.. Morgan doesn't do It'll We state this boldly
Mr.. Guggenheim asserts-and we believe he is
lght-that John d. Rockefeller is the least extraya-
giant man he knows Of Mr.. Rockefeller has never
been known to slip down to Billy's place on the cor
ner and spend $4,000 playing pool in the evening as
he would have to if he equaled the extravaganza
according to income-of the stone mason who
rolls one game at 20 cents an hour.

demand for uxuries is such that necessaries of life
are high because nobody wants thernl Perfectly

All these things tend to reconcile us to the fact
that the Guggenheims are gradually 'cornering the
