Plan No. 555. Business Adviser
A New York lawyer who had had a large experience in business matters, decided to remove to San Francisco, mainly for climatic reasons, and concluded to enlarge upon the scope of his former activities in the eastern metropolis.
He therefore opened an office and announced that he would act as business adviser to all, and would superintend the organization of large corporations, keeping them advised as to all business as well as legal aspects of their undertakings, look after the intricate affairs of established concerns that desired to improve their business methods, and give advice in all matters requiring careful supervision or reconstruction.
Being a man of unusual ability, he charged reasonable fees for his services, and in the course of a few years was held in such esteem that his advice was much in demand. This work put him in touch with propositions in which he was able to make big profits.
