" He Really Exists "

Maximilian Harden, brilliant Berlin publicist, wrote an article in the Vienna Morgen, humanizing the great industrial baron of the Rhine, Hugo Stinnes.

Says Harden: "He really exists. . . . He calls himself simply Hugo Stinnnes, merchant. This is not a pose. He became a merchant when, with 50,000 gold marks, he founded his independent business. . . Without foreign help he made himself the mightiest of his kind.

"When many years ago I saw him at a meeting of a board of directors . . . I saw the glow of fanatical eyes over narrow cheeks. These cheeks are now fuller, the lips somewhat heavier; yet these eyes, which now search the depths of other mysteries, can still laugh gaily or shoot lightnings of mistrust."
