It notes October building permits drop and ten month insolvencies at record highs, urging relief for small investors through fair corporate tax treatment.

The Hatchard family supported the enterprise, which earned a royal charter in 1809 to improve both ornamental and practical horticulture. The piece notes Hatchard's legacy and a historic room, with a portrait of John Hatchard in the shop lounge. It also covers Rostand's L Aiglon staged in Baltimore by John D. Williams, and a parade of productions at the Roxy and New Dover Opera House, including What Price Glory, with record attendance and extended runs in the early days of cinema.
