Commodore Garrison Sets High Price For Missouri Pacific Sale
The Missouri Pacific, bought by Commodore Garrison for 800000 at foreclosure, becomes a showdown with Jay Gould. Garrison stalls, raises price to 2000000 then 3000000, finally demands 4000000 to block Gould’s bid. Gould capitulates and pays 3400000 to secure the line.
