Ever hear of my experience as a bottler of ginger beer? Well, It brought me publicity at the time, but It was of the kind that I did not crave. I had a friend up in Canada who had shown me and my family a good deal of attention during my hunting trips to the north, and one fine day he turned up in Chicago with a little hard cash and a formula for making the best ginger beer ever brewed by the hand of man—so he put it. He proposed that I should go in with him to manufacture it and put it on the market, and he was Buch a nice fellow that I didn't see my way clear to r» fuse. Besides, It looked good to me, and I was not at all averse to adding a little something to my Income. He mentioned $600 as my share of the capital, but it expanded Into $1,500 before the scheme got in working order.
