A Clarksville Times excerpt recounts Mr. Populos, a New Jersey cafeteria owner, who buys a three story building with only five thousand dollars, financed by loans.

A tale recounts Popyles moving a tenant out to favor a chain store at a corner. He accepts 22 000 annual rent, expands a grocery business, raises rival rents, and doubles income while investing 5 000. His brothers quit their jobs, bought homes, and flaunted wealth. The venture collapses, losses mount, stockholders suffer, and the era of widespread questionable ventures is noted.
