At the outset Of his imperial career
the grandfather OF the former German
kaiser. Frederick william. owed his
accumulation Of money to his com
mercial dealings. One OF his CONNER
cIal undertakings was to start milk
rounds, which did exceedingly well, In
spite of being carried on sub rosa. for
the German courtiers found that the
imperial favor was dependent upon
their patronlzing the imperial dairy.
In this way the old emperor created
a huge milk monopoly In various cities,
and reaped correspondlngly large
profit. Kaiser Wilhelm himself had
keen commercial instincts. and had q
finger In most Of the big German un-
dertakings. In Germany 1t was cur
rently reported that Ballin was mere
ly the 6gure-head OF the North Ger
man Lloyd line OF steamships. and
that the kaiser was the real man at
the helm. and the same thing was said
of many other money-makIng con.
