  • Heritage of Books on Cleveland
    A L....--_----' Heritage of Books on Cleveland Cleveland Heritage Program A HERITAGE OF BOOKS: A Selected Bibliography of Books and Related Materials on Cleveland to be found at the Cleveland Public Library by Matthew F. Browarek CLEVELAND PUBLIC LIBRARY 1984 Cover photograph: Hiram House Station C 1920 Archives. Cleveland Public Library PREFACE The Cleveland Heritage Program was born out of the conviction that the city of Cleve­ land possesses unique qualities worth capturing in pictures and words. In designing the program, Professor Thomas Campbell of Cleveland State University and I were prompted less by a desire to evoke nostalgia than to retrieve fugitive material for the benefit of scholars whose work will help us to understand how and why our city is what it is. If the uses of history are to serve the present generation, then the Cleveland Heritage Program has done its work well. Funded primarily by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, the program was carried on over a two-year period from 1981 to 1983. Important supple­ mentary grants were made by the Cleveland Foundation, the George Gund Foundation and Nathan L. Dauby Fund. Also, the Cleveland Heritage Program greatly benefited from the cooperation of the following institutions: the Cleveland Public Schools, the Catholic Diocese of Cleveland, the Greater Cleveland Growth Association, the Western Reserve Historical Society, Cuyahoga Community College, WVIZ-TV and the College of Urban Affairs of Cleveland State University. Under Professor Campbell and his many able assistants, diligent research recovered valuable artifacts, photographs and oral histories relating to several of Cleveland's neigh­ borhoods.

We like to say that we specialize in being general, that the variety of our articles is endless, on subjects as esoteric as the dying languages of Mayan Indians and as down-to-earth as forecasting the weather, as serious as a new definition of death and as whimsical as a history of dogs in church. But there is one area in which we do specialize - we are a regional journal, and in particular, a Cleveland journal. We have allowed ourselves to be partial to articles about the city by Cleveland writers, and those writers have not let us down. This collection gathers together, for the first time, some of our favorite articles on Cleveland from The Gamut's first six years.

  • Short Selling Manipulation Paper
    SHORT SELLING, DEATH SPIRAL CONVERTIBLES, AND THE PROFITABILITY OF STOCK MANIPULATION John D. Finnerty Professor of Finance, Fordham University March 2005 John D. Finnerty Fordham University Graduate School of Business 113 West 60th Street New York, NY 10023 Tel: 212-599-1640 Fax: 212-599-1242 e-mail: [email protected] SHORT SELLING, DEATH SPIRAL CONVERTIBLES, AND THE PROFITABILITY OF STOCK MANIPULATION Abstract The SEC recently adopted Regulation SHO to tighten restrictions on short selling and curb abusive short sales, including naked shorting masquerading as routine fails to deliver. This paper models market equilibrium when short selling is permitted and contrasts the equilibrium with and without manipulators among the short sellers. I explain how naked short selling can routinely occur within the securities clearing system in the United States and characterize its potentially severe market impact. I show how a recent securities innovation called floating-price convertible securities can resolve the unraveling problem and enable manipulative short selling to intensify. SHORT SELLING, DEATH SPIRAL CONVERTIBLES, AND THE PROFITABILITY OF STOCK MANIPULATION 1. Introduction Manipulative short selling has a long and colorful history that dates back to the origins of organized stock markets (Allen and Gale, 1992). Bernheim and Schneider (1935) describe how bear pools operated on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange during the late seventeenth century. Stock manipulators carefully timed their aggressive ‘bear raids’ to exert maximum selling pressure. The price declines attracted free riders, and the combined pressure on the prices of the targeted stocks produced virtually assured profits. The manipulators found that they could defeat any opposition by employing “tricks that only sly and astute speculators invent and introduce,” such as planting false rumors about the target firm’s precarious condition in the press (Bernstein and Schneider, 1935).

Stein, Mayor Kahlil Seren, Vice Mayor Mary Dunbar Melody Joy Hart Davida Russell Michael Ungar Susanna Niermann O'Neil, City Manager CLEVELAND HEIGHTS LANDMARKS The Cleveland Heights Landmark Commission was created by City Council in 1973 to preserve and protect buildings, works of art and other objects of historical or architectural value to the community. The Commission has seven members appointed to three-year terms by City Council. Commission activities are funded by the City and supported by staff. Landmark nominations are made by Commission members or by owners seeking designation for their properties. Nominations must be accompanied by thorough research and documentation. After receiving a nomination, the Landmark Commission tours the site and discusses its Landmark eligibility. Properties may be landmarked for their architectural and/or historical significance to the community. Approval of the Planning Commission, as well as Landmark Commission, must be obtained before a property is landmarked. Designated Cleveland Heights Landmarks can be identified by their circular bronze Landmark plaques, often located near the front entry. Owners are expected to keep these valuable resources in good condition so they will remain for future generations. If a Landmark property owner wishes to make exterior alterations to the property, Landmark Commission approval is necessary. For more information on the Landmark program, please call the Department of Planning & Development at 216-291-4878 or email [email protected].

  • Cleveland Architects Database
    Clevland Landmarks Commission Cleveland Architects Database The following is a listing of architects and master builders that have worked in Cleveland, from the 1820’s until the 1930’s. Discovering which architects designed certain buildings was determined by utilizing several sources, including the City of Cleveland Building Permits, and publications that included American Architect and Builder News, Inland Architect, Interstate Architect, the Ohio Architect and Builder, the Annals of Cleveland, the Plain Dealer, the Leader, the Press, Material Facts, the Bystander, and Cleveland Town Topics. The Cleveland Public Library card index for Architect’s in the Fine Arts Department was used. Books on Cleveland Architecture that were consulted included Cleveland Architecture 1876 – 1976, and the American Institute of Architects Guide to Cleveland Architecture were consulted. A catalogue of architectural drawings maintained by the Western Reserve Historical Society was consulted. The Cleveland Necrology file maintained by the Cleveland Public Library, the United States Census, and Cleveland City Directories were consulted in compiling this database. For the purposes of this database an architect was defined as anyone that called himself or herself as an architect. Robert Keiser compiled the Cleveland Architects as a hobby in after work hours over several years. This project terminates with 1930. Local building activity was severely curtailed by the Great Depression, and did not recover until the 1950’s. Many of the references in the database have

  • Independent Attitude
    Independent attitude In a great book, Fifty“ Years in Wall Street” the author, Henry Clews, writes about Daniel Drew and his independent attitude towards financial decisions. “One of the most singular and eventful careers in Wall Street was that of Daniel Drew, familiarly called “Uncle Daniel” This man affords another remarkable instance of the possibility of attaining great success by stubbornly following up one idea, and one lineof thought and purpose. His life also shows that education is not necessary to success in the acquisitionof money, but, as I have attempted to show in another chapter, may be a great hindrance. This fact is abundantly illustrated in the lives of both Drew and Vanderbilt. In fact, everybody who knew these two men were of the opinion that with a fair or liberal education they would never have cut a prominent figure as financiers. It is also questionable whether eitherof them, with all their ability in other respects, would have been capable, with their peculiar predilections for other pursuits, of receivinga common school or college education. They, probably, had not the capacity for that kind of acquisition. Perhaps it might have been impossible for any teacher to make Drew pronounce the word shares otherwise than “sheers,” or convince Vanderbilt that the part of a locomotive in which the steam is generated should not be spelt phonetically, “boylar.” It is more than probable that professors in grammar would have found it a hopeless task to convince the Commodore that there was anything wrong in the expression, “Never tell nobody what yer goin’ to do, till you do it,” or Drew that it was improper to say to his broker, “Gimme them sheers,” when he desired his stocks reduced to possession.
