Chapter XXI
A SOLVENT HOUSE “I’ve bought in your stock,” Eichberg was saying to Copeland. “You put up fourteen hundred and eighty-five shares with the Western National and I’ve bought ’em in at private sale under your collateral agreement. As I understand it there are fifteen shares held by employees to qualify as directors. I guess there won’t be any trouble about them, and we’ll let ’em stand for the present.” “Those men paid for their stock and you have no right to touch it,” said Copeland.
