The deep interest which We have felt in the
success of their enterprise led us to inquire with
unusual particularly into the causes which
produced that result. In answer We were
frankly told that the firm had expended the
means within their centrol in improved machin-
cry and buildings. which left them without a
working capital TO run their mills. 4 balance
