Off it goes.

Of course, it's a very slow beginning, you know, and it reaches a certain degree of success.

And in fact, not only does it not go to the next stage, it starts to falter.

And so this thing begins to fail a little bit.

And he keeps putting good money after bad and year after year.

And he does this for a period of about five years and finally had to set the company down.
