become one of the American leaders before the year Js out Cornell incidentally made Taut one bid at the Louis B Mayer sale and was successful in getting the daughter of Beau Pere Boudoir n for 20000 Cornell recommended bidding because he liked the trim of her head and intelligent look at a pre sale showing Robert Bobby Dptter is making good on his first major job of training on the Atlantic sea
