Image Not Available for For 20 years I was trying to cross a Rennet apple with a Rosey apple..... this year I am finally successful. It has cost me 3'787 Francs in all for this green apple.... but it'll be worth it, since I'll be mentioned in the Central Society of Apple Culture.

Image Not Available for Robert Macaire, Professor of Industry. Here's an example. Buy a new process, it doesn't matter which, or whether it's good or bad, buy it for 600F, 500F, 25F, for as little as possible. Create 500'000F worth of shares, as many as possible. Make out monster advertisements, monster posters, monster promises. Make the capital, pocket it, put the key under the door, file your bankruptcy papers, that's to say the company's papers... that's the end of that little game. You then go on to another.
