The following lists provide some idea of the total initial cost that will be involved in this venture. The manufacturing/ retailing business should understand that this machinery can be used to build a lot of different products. The machinery designated "Koch Mfg." can be built by us. The sheet steel suggested will be enough to build about twenty toppers; the strips, flats, angles, rounds, and tubes should be enough for twenty toppers; and the paint enough for about forty toppers.
