''I cant afford it, for one thing, and, l of course am not In position to watch l the market, as you say. What would | like is to put few thousand into some
 good, safe, dividend paying security. | Of course''-
 You're right, of course. Still, if you | choose to take some small risk, l could
 watch the market for you. l often do
 that for customers of the bank. I'm naturally in a position to know what's 1 going on By the way, how much
 money have you to invest!'
 II have $12,000 in New York;
 'Where the interest rates are small" interrupted Tandy. You want to bring it west, where it will earn more. un- derstand You're right in that. The west is the place for men and money to i do the best they can for themselves. This part of the country is growing like Jacks beanstalk You must have
 noticed it. But come. l want to take you for a drive around Cairo to show you what we are doing here and what we are planning to do. I think when

 Every gladly. But first want to ar range to bring to Cairo what money

 my draft. Won't you direct your cash

 bank of New York, asking for what amount my drafts on that institution will be honored? Then, when we get
 back from our drive I'll draw for the
 money and place it on deposit with
 your bank. where I can put my hands
 upon it when necessary"
 The telegram was sent, and then | Tandy took Temple In his carriage,

 forming a company for that purpose.
 We have abundant timber right at hand, just across the two rivers, in
 Missouri and Kentucky. We can make
 barrels at less cost than they can be
