What in the progress time, may intervene to help or hinder human, plans beyond the ken of any man.** Thus spake a man who I spent more years in the banking business than any ntl man. He was entirely right. Large fortunes do cru hie anddecay. Many large fortunes have been built by speculation and taking large risks, and many of thi have been lost in just the same way.
