The three men grouped at a
table in the cocktail bar of the
Book Cadillac Hotel looked up in
anticipation.
The radio went silent and then
came the voice of the President Of
the United States.
Gradually the eyes OF two OF the
men AT the table filled with tears
and when rather noisy individual
al an adjoining table asked where
the broadcast was coming from,
they could only point TO paper
lying on the table.
The third gentleman. a we'll
known Detroit business man,
watched them closely and feeling
of genuine humility crept over him.
His companions were Count
Ilinski. Polish British flier. and a
Pole by the name of Sadowski.

These two men had lost every

lease 100000 square feet of factory

feet 10 Chrysler Corporation for
two years for a combined gross
rental of S570,850.
Judge Frank A. Picard, in an

formal reorganization could be
avoided and assets of the company
returned TO stockholders under an
arrangement for the payment OF
creditors.

profit from operations of $50, 1873

will be no 1871 liability for federal

Ohio Brass Co.
Profit Steady

CLEVELAND, Nov. with a
larger-than-normal backlog of UNI
filled orders, and with all three
of its plants working at capacity,
present indications are that the
Ohio Brass Company will have
net earnings for the current year
somewhere around the level of the
S720.417 or S2.07 share reported
for 1910.
This would be true despite the
necessity for higher taxes this
year and the effects of a four
month closing of the companys
insulator plant at Barberton, o.,
because of strike there.
The current backlog is suffi-
GENTLY large to assure continued
operations for at least
the next three months as COM
pared with a normal two-month
backlog.
