"I do wish Crawford's friend would talk with you and me about the possibility of buying and controlling some of the small up-state papers and forming them into a small chain. It would be very helpful in every way. Furthermore, I think that the money invested, while speculation, might work into a profitable enterprise if it were handled right."
M. William Bray (1889-1961) was a lawyer who, between 1933 and 1938, served as Lieutenant Governor of NY under Governor Herbert H. Lehman.
