A well-earned pat on the back to Freddie March in
Executive Suite. Sure, he's callous, cold-blooded, and has a
financial ledger where his heart should be, but he gets the job done. He's organicized to the nth degree and is glued
to the bottom line to the penny. Holden? Yeah, he's a nice guy, family man to the core, but his pretty boy pipe dreams
about how to build furniture will keep the Tredway Corporation in the red for the next decade. Barbara. What does she
know? She married old man Tredway and he died. Then she set her hooks in Bullard and he drops dead too. Big surprise.
And Babs spends half of her relatively brief screen time contemplating taking a swan dive off the balcony. Lend her a little
push or better yet hand her the corporate credit card and send her to Saks Fifth Avenue. Anything to keep her out of
the boardroom. Shelley, bet your father died when you were just a child. You've been looking for daddy figures ever since.
You can do better than a middle-age, overweight lummox like Douglas, who doesn't know anything other than his sales spiel.
You'll always play second fiddle to his old lady, who is an....old lady. Look for someone your own age before the pounds start
to accumulate. And last but not least, Louis Calhern. Yes, he's a greedy so and so but how can you hate a guy whose first act
on seeing the big boss drop dead is to short his Tredway stock. March messes him up by releasing that good earnings report,
but Louie is a survivor so he'll bounce back, though he may have to cut his expenses for a while. He'll only be able to afford
a "girlfriend" who is young enough to be his daughter instead of his granddaughter, but the old boy can live with that sacrifice.
Forget Holden and the other stooges. Keep selling shoddy stuff to the suckers who will buy it year after year. Heck, GM and Ford
did it for decades until the Japanese came along with higher quality autos. And Fredric will be driving that dividend yield through
the roof. Does it matter if the dividend increases by ten cents? You're darn tootin' it does. Fred is helping innumerable widows and
orphans. Bill and his bunch will have those same widows and orphans eating dog food and using the Herald-Tribune as their bed
covers. Do shareholders want money coming in and bigger dividends? Do dogs like to eat their own vomit? Vote F.M. for president
Tredway Corp.
