Say the plant would cost about 81,500. The expense of operating it would be about $50 per month. The income would be from $75 to. $100 per month, making a nst profit from $25 to S50 per month, cr $300 to SG00 per year, a profit-of at least 20 per cent on capital invested. Limit the stock to 150 shares at $10 each and each shareholder to five, shares. The plan is just as feasible as the telephone exchange, which was organized in the same way, and there wasn't any difEculty about that after the plan was understood.
