DANIEL TIC; GENIC:BIM. A Business Man Says His Word Is Better Than Ills Bond. Daniel Guggenheim, the head Of the great Ametican exploration and development orgainizati,on, whose operations stretch from the Atlantic to the Pacific, from Alas- ka. to, Chili, arid into the heart of the African Congo, is a man with 11 kin•rlly, =fie and a gentle manner who deals, with millions •as most men Nen-hire •with dollara. The story of -the Guggenheim family has been toldelsewhere, and it reads like one of the fancieseaf the Arabian Nights. Daniel Guggenheim, for all his kindly, humao demeanor, for all his courtesy and gentleness, is a strong man. Much of his power lies in his Vivid /Magi/MUDD and in his broad sympathy for humanity. He is the type that will lead aneo, but never drive thein. There ia no trouble with labor in anY,Guggen•heim pro- perty in aoy portion *13 13136 land. Daeiel Guggenheim says: ' "The business ethics are .those of She community in which the busimess exists," he attys. "The stream rises no higher than its source -unless, a foroe4:1 higher. American business is far better 'than it WAS a few rears ago, and yet there IS mom for yeast improvement. It is not now on -the plane where individual greed is the some actuating foctor." . This is what happened '11 11110 Gug- genheim offices when 'rebateof freight "charges became abhorrent and were deolaredaillegal. The first blow was streak by the Interstate Daniel Guggenheim.
