stayed at home TO help his father.
The family wealth was equally divided
and that generation lived comfortably. even
luxuriously. until the automobile generation
arrived. Then the grandchildren OF the
founder Of the family married in turn and
turned their attention 10 New York. They
spent their money III New York, they wore
New York clothes. and among other customs,
good and bad. which this third generation
adopted was the divorce habit. They took
it badly. Divorces have divided the family
into almost endless divisions and the great
