Neglected by the owner, the
publication 'collapsed and the
creditors unanimously asked
Mr. Blue to take it over. The
people there with almost one
accord also invited him to take
charge, he says. The island has
a farming population of 4,000
and a summer population of
10,000, so it is a good field.
Another proposition he had
in view was the management
of a manufacturing company
putting out a rotary gas en
gine. While not much at pres
ent, the company has a won
derful future, Mr. Blue says.
