(United Press Telegraph-Cable Service.)
New York. Oct. 22? When announce
ment was made last night that a change in
Presidents of the Institution wculd take
place a run was started on four offices of the
Knickerbocker Trust Company. So great
had the run become by noon today that a
statement was given out that values to the
amount of Eight Million Dollars had been
paid out and further payments were refused.
The straits of the Knickerbocker Trust Com
pany is taken as a forewarning of a frightful
crash that has been predicted on the street
j and in financial circles this week. It is openly
charged that the Standard Oil, now having
obtained revenge on Heinze will follow out its
usual method and attempt to belittle the
Roosevelt administration by bringing on a fi
nancial panic. Standard Oil stocks are said
to be well entrenched and able to weather a
financial storm,

That i> the secret of their exquisite Flavor. Preferred Stock Pineapple,
for instance, is grown, ripened and canned all under the sunny skies
of Hawaii. Pineapples brought to this country and then canned must be
picked before fully ripe or they won't keep? and the flavor is
flat. Hawaiian Pineapple is the best grown. Every morning, the
ones ripened to their "spicy best" arc gathered, taken into the can
nery, close at hand, peeled and cored by special cutters operated by
bright, tidy Hawaiian girls. All the tough, fibrous center is re
moved, and the sun-gold (slices from the best part of the pineapple
are then packed into Preferred Stock cans.
