Feathersmith in “Of Late I Think of Cliffordville”

FFeathersmith

Something that'll turn this two-bit tool shed into a factory: a self-starter. What do you mean, enlarge on it? It's a gizmo you press with your foot that starts an engine with an electric motor...What is it used for!? It's used to make twelve hundred jillion smackers, that's what it's used for...!! Listen, are you all there!!? It's a storage battery, a motor, and a do-hickey that starts the motor! I've given you the principle; now all you have to do is build it...! Now look, I am not a crummy draftsman or a two-bit blueprint boy; I am a promoter, a financier. I'm gonna give you the backing; I've already given you the principle; so all you have to do is build it...!! There's everything under the sun, and you sit around fixing tricycle pedals! There's radio, aluminum, airplanes... You foggy-headed carriage builders, we can make ourselves eleventy zillion dollars!
