in Vermont having a capital of $4,000

The showing is not anything for
Maine to be proud of however. Many
corporations go where they will be
allowed to do business with the least
interference. The business of some
corporations chartered in states, with
easy laws, would not stand a very

on the dollars of people who are fool
