Once more the supposed knowing ones and "cute" business men eyed me askance, and no doubt thought me a fool, or worse.

Only one man approved of my action, but I valued his opinion more than that of all the rest.

This deal again made a stir amongst the Real Estate offices, and lot values went soaring; and when I had erected a handsome business block on the property a regular "boom" set in.

It gave the little town a lift and the people confidence.

One man was good enough to tell me that I had more "nerve" than anyone he had ever met.
