Rodney. Why, we’d guarantee you against loss from our assets.
Peale. Yes, from our assets.
Ellery. That sounds rather ripping. But what would I get for my twenty-five hundred?
Peale. A receipt.
Ellery. I know, I know, but what interest in the business?
Rodney. Two and one-half per cent.
Ellery. I say, is that much?
Rodney. Think what two and a half per cent in the steel trust would mean.
Peale. And more people use soap than steel.
Ellery. (Wisely) Isn’t steel dearer?
