The August 21 issue of Printers' Ink carried a story of James Mathes's plan of distributing profits with his employees. This was the 20th anniversary of the founding of the J. M. Mathes advertising agency, and the profit-sharing plan made his coworkers $60,000 richer in checks and government bonds. A note by the editors states that the agency in the past ten years has contributed solely for employee benefits about 70% of its net income. This includes payments into the profit-sharing trust and a companion pension trust, as well as year-end business.

John Coggins, continuing to sing the praises of Nashua and its great 1911 delegation, is yearning to join the call of the ancestral home, like Seth Emerson, and adds: "I have just completed forty years on Broadway and still hit for 400, whether chasing Ted Williams or Jerry Coleman. It's a gift, boy it's a gift."
