Juggins, never took a degree; so he made no practical use of his education. But it didn’t matter He was very well offand was able to go straight into business with a capital of about a hundred thousand dollars. He put itat first into a gas plant, but found that he lost money at that because of the high price of the coal needed to make gas. So he sold it out for ninety thousand dollars tnd went into coal mining, This was unsuccessful because of the awful cost of mining machinery. So Juggins sold his share in the mine for eighty thousand dollars and went in for manufacturing mining machinery, Juggin’s domestic life was very quite.
