EAGER AMERICANS
RUSH FOR BUSINESS AN AMUSING INCIDENT (A. & N.Z.) NEW YORK, Aug. 14. An amusing incident revealing the acuteness of American business enterprise has just been disclosed in connection with plans for the establishment of a Commonwealth Bank agency here. When the fact was published locally enterprising real estate brokers apparently wished to forestall competition among those desirous of providing quarters for the agency. One individual wirelessed Messrs Armitage and Mason on board the Tahiti offering to sell them a well-locat-ed sky-scraper 20 storeys high for slightly over 5,000,000 dollars. It is understood that the agency’s plans call for a more modest beginning, only a few rooms being wanted.
