LK This guy that you made the better gdeal with - how was he able to give you a better deal. HD Well, because he was making too much profit on it. You know, he had everybody over a barrelJ. If they didn't pick up y.our guts - if the hide was worth 12 dollars, he was giving you six. Be would just double the money. He didn't need to have that much. LK Be gave you lessfor the hides and less for the entrails. HD Yes because there's no other- there's only one other rendering plant. He had his own slaughter ·.house. That was big enough to take care cf. mine and his. So then - So I called Pisar and told him and he said, "Well, I'm not picking up your guts." I said, "You don't have to. I've already got a place." And just about died because :I ~~ was his biggest customer. Without me, he couldn't hardly run his rendering plant. Sofur about a year-,I went over to this MacFarland. He'd come up andpick bem andeverything was pretty good but he was going broke and I was't getting my money out of him. So one day, he puts an ad in the paper, pick up dead animals for the rendering. And Pisar Sobel really got mad. and I -- he was -- oh, he owed me about 30,000 dollars at that time. He should pay me every month but he kept goingbehind. He didn't have the money. And he owed me a big bill. Sm one day, Eric, his right hand man, a good friend of Eleanors. ANd Hilda, they're very nice people |
