NOVELTY FURS S3 Those were hard times, when backers pressed lightly on debtors; the bank agreed to give him a little time on his notes. He travelled from creditor to creditor, persuading them their best chance of getting their money back was to let him go on. The fur business of Chicago had regarded with indulgent interest the enterprise of those two stripling boys, Schosberg and Zukor. Now that the rocket had come down like a stick, “ladies’ furs” retained some of its indulgence; Zukor found that he had friends. He lived small through the slack season, and schemed. Meantime, having completed five years of American residence and come of age, he took out his naturalization papers. In 1896, the Democratic National Convention met in Chicago, and William Jennings Bryan stampeded it to free silver by his famous cross-of-gold speech. Adolph Zukor had that day found a seat in the gallery of the Coliseum. He heard it, every word. “Bunk!” he said, and cast his vote for McKinley. He has voted Republican ever since.
