ALT1... that in 1934, banker Hermann Marx and Cull & Company structured and underwrote the share issue that led to the "pepper scandal"?
Overall: @Philafrenzy Good article. The article is cited, new enough, and its hook is interesting. I would have preferred if you put the citations for your hooks in the nomination rather than just telling me that they're in the article so that I don't have to scavenge for them.
