(Rogistered United States Patent Office }

Election of s. L. Wolff as a vice.
president and director Of the United
States Food Products caused consid-
cradle speculation for a time as to his
identity.
Some of the directors expressed
ignorance as to who he was, but one
said he was probably the wolf
which the bankers have been keep
ing away from the Food Products
door"
Subsequently It developed that Mr..
Wolff represents the banking inter-
ests who recently came to the aid of
the concern.
All Of which shows that directors of
companies in the hands of bankers
find they have strange bedfellows
these days.
Negotiations for the consolidation
Of number of independent sto'
companies were temporarily held up
by the death of Dan Hanna, who is
understood to be a large-ehareholder
in one Of the concerns which will
probably be taken into the merger. 4
Competition for business is keen
these days among Investment bank
ing houses. Keen" may be con-
sidered a mild term when 1t is said
that one house learning OF the terms
on which another was willing to make
a loan to foreign government
stepped in and stole the business.
As the financial squall clears,
stories Of the many tricks employed
by borrowers to have their loans
continued come to light.
There is a certain Boston broker
whose margins were very slim and
his bank loans needed a little nour-
ishment. The head of one of his
banks called him up and said there
was very important matter" which
he wanted to discuss with him. The
broker knew that the banker wanted
collateral.
He decided to prevent such a re-
quest being made at all hazards. He
visited the banker ana before the
latter could say anything the broker
said:
