Mr. Griffin. Now didn’t you plan to manage this club yourself? Any club that you would buy, didn’t you plan on managing it yourself?
Mrs. Cheek. I don’t know whether I would or not, or whether I would have someone else to manage it for me.
Mr. Griffin. How much of a return did you expect on your investment?
Mrs. Cheek. I wasn’t thinking about that at the time.
Mr. Griffin. You must have some idea.
Mrs. Cheek. I didn’t know how much I would invest. I didn’t have very much money to invest. I would have to trade a piece of property or sell a piece. I was looking for clubs or property. If you are talking to people you run into a good bit—buying 5212 Gaston, I put down $600 down, but I paid high payments. I don’t know how much I would invest. I don’t have a whole lot of money. I put small payments down and make high payments a month, you know.
Mr. Griffin. Sure, but you want to make sure you are getting more money off your real estate or business investments?
Mrs. Cheek. When I came to Dallas, I didn’t have very much money. I started managing a place for Mrs. Strong out on Gaston Avenue, and I managed it for her, and she sold me the place for $600 earnest money down.
Mr. Griffin. Is the money that you acquired, you use for buying and selling real estate?
Mrs. Cheek. Buying and selling.
