Published: Hamilton Journal (Hamilton, Ohio), March 28, 1924, p. 8.  Subtitle: "Business Men Decline To Defy Fate" Byline: Chicago. "Among its recipients were several of the successful business men, to wit: Harry B. Hurd, Attorney; H. J. Lorber, insurance broker; Thomas Byrne, wealthy contractor; W. R. Dawes, vice-president of the Central Trust company. Mr. Falon, who of course, is not superstitious sent the copy of the letter to Walter Cahil, of the Great Lakes Dredge & Dock company. "I think it's all damphool!" opined Mr. Hurd, "but still - and he started his nine copies. Mr. Lorber, in the insurance business, which does not permit superstition, turned the letter over to his stenographer for the copies. Perhaps after all - but then you never can tell."  Entered by DWV, Jan. 2, 2014.
