“Well, you see, I don’t know anything about the place.”
“True; that is a disadvantage. But you might find some people who do know.”

“You’d have to do as I did—give him a share of the business.”
“It would be much better if I could get some stock in one of your companies. Your experience and credit would make it a success.”
“Yes, there is no doubt that our companies would all be successful since we have a man on the spot.”
“And that’s another reason why I should prefer buying stock from you. You see I might form a company, but what could I do?”
“Could not your cashier help you?”
