of his time in New York. Almost
any sunny day you can fiud him
lounging with the loafers about the
courthouse. 1t is difficult TO get
him TO motor into town-not even to

game and why shouldn't he? Its
gentle stimulus has taught him the
art of living in plenty without toll.

RLbe l.. Goldberg was horn in San
Francisco but seldom goes back any
more. Although he OWES several
apartment houses there, he says the
old town is changed. He thrills to his
view of Broadway from the Times
building at which he works.
He stormed all the newspaper
shops when he came to New York with
no success and was about to return
to the Golden Gate when he got
small chance to do his stuff" on the
Evening Mail. He has developed into
one of the highest paid cartoonists
in the world.
He, like Briggs, is boyish, I'M
spoiled young man. He works with a
furious intensity but plays just as
hard. He it at home in hash
house where prizefighters lssf as well
as the, ,iitz. It would be difficult to
call Mr., Goldberg" I think be

Fontaine Fox is a tall, slender
young man with a short light mus

the usual stopping place-Manhattan,
where his original drawings and ideas
won him a national following. He is

curly hair and tne most distinguish
ing feature is what Carolyn Wells
terms his button nose" He lives in
Gramercy Park, few doors from The
Players. and his off moments are
spent canoeing or playing handball. He
used to chew tobacco aud once grew
beard that was the despair Of his
friends.
He likse to appear "a rough guy"
10 hide the romanticism that is his.
Friends found him one morning with
tears in his 4es in a public park.
He was gazing as n crushed flower.
There are others-too numerous per-
haps to mention here-who, however,
add just as much TO the gaiety of ma
tions. And they compose an un-
usual group of small town boys who
have made good in the big city.
Their salaries are always big, but
success has not turned their heads.
They are home-loving, law-abiding and
just regular fellows.
They proved heir sterling worth
during the recent World War. The
influence they welded was astound-
ing. They sped up activities with
they gave of their unusual talents
freely.
1t is small wonder that one of the
richest men in America selects as his
eonfidants and companions the men
who Draw the cartoons. He has found
that they are shrewd and Wise. Won
derful and always loyal.
