Own An Old Beat-Up Prizefighter? Wildcat Enterprises Will Buy Him
Mansfield, Ohio. (UP—Wildcat Enterprises looked over its books at the end of the year, found it owned a race horse, "an interest" in a Swedish actress, glowed over the possibility of being in the movies, and pushed plans to open a saloon on Third avenue in New York.
All this on the installment plan, $ too.
Wildcat Enterprices, Inc., is a partnership of 30 ex-Navy PT boat men. It was born in idle talk between actions stationed in New Guinea in 1942-43.
Twenty-six men formed the original investment group, each kicking in $200 at $10 a month for 20 months. Since the end of the war four others who were stationed with the original bunch have paid up and joined.
Now they own a pacing horse, named "Expendable," which has earned $1,700 at New York state harness tracks this least season. The horse cost $3,200. Officials at Roosevelt track in Long Island said it was the only horse in the track's history with 30 owners.
"It made good conversation and helped pass the time." Robert Lynch, a Wildcat Enterpriser transplanted here said.
"The main idea was to open a saloon on Third Avenue in New York with a back room for members only," said Lynch. "That idea hasn't materialized yet, because it would take more money than we counted
on. But we're still working on it."
on. But we're still working on it." No profits have been handed out yet, according to Lynch, who said the "business end of the deal" is handled by the majority of members on the East coast.
"But now that we've got a little more money to play with, we're hoping our Swedish actress clicks in a screen test and for Twentieth Century-Fox to pick up the script written for us by Quentin Reynolds," Lynch continued.
Members of the organization are scattered throughout Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, California, Michigan, Illinois and Texas. Their ranks number advertising men, distillers, accountants, salesmen and college students.
Lynch said the constitution of the Wildale's specifically stated that the organization would "make investments that would give pause to an ordinarily prudent man."
Lynch said the boys are looking for a prize fighter to buy next.
A total of 34,475 veterans in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma have obtained G. I. loans to buy homes, farms, and businesses.
