Last year a Jew of Chicago named David Smart who had made a killing with a depression-born magazine named Esquire launched a miniature version in the same key named Coronet and used Marlowe's famous line as its slogan. Last week Dave Smart made a little room for the public in the infinite riches of his publishing ventures. Having already sold 75,000 shares of stock publicly, he listed all 500,000 shares of Esquire-Coronet Inc. on the New York Curb Exchange."
