Mr. Griffin. So you would have been a partner?
Mrs. Cheek. No; I wouldn’t. When I invest, I make a corporation out of it, or someone else operates the business for me. That is the way the rooming houses; I have managers in them.
Mr. Griffin. Did Jack talk to you about how much he was making off of this business?
Mrs. Cheek. No. He might have talked to me about that, but I don’t remember the exact figures.
Mr. Griffin. How did you come to the conclusion that his price was too high?
Mrs. Cheek. I just thought it was too high. I could build a club for that. I know the prices of material.
Mr. Griffin. Jack was only interested in selling an interest in the real estate at that time, or was he interested in the——
Mrs. Cheek. The business. He didn’t have the real estate. He didn’t have the building. It was just the business he was selling half interest in it. I could buy a place for that.
Mr. Griffin. So you would have been interested in the profitability of Jack’s particular business?
Mrs. Cheek. No; not his particular business. I didn’t know what kind of club he was operating out there. I thought it was a dance place and cocktail lounge.
