Now, suh, turning to Fitz,

One mo' and I am done, Fitz. What do you mean by Founders' shares?
human
Shares for the promoters and the first subscribers. They cost one tenth of the ordinary shares and draw five times as much dividend. It is quite a popular form of investment. They, of course, are not sold until all the bonds are disposed of.
gpt
How many of these Founders' shares are there?
human
Fifty thousand at ten dollars each.

Put me down for twenty-five thousand, Fitz. Part cash, and the balance in such po'tion of my estate as will be required for the purposes of the road.
