Chapter 25
Of course, not all American industrialists will be generals.
2Some of them will have other ranks and titles,
3Including “Barons,”
4Of which there will be more than a few,
5Such as a Baron named jRockefeller who will one day provide all the gasoline and oil for General Motors’ cars,
6And a Baron named kCarnegie who will one day provide all the steel for General Motors’ cars,
7Plus the steel for General Electric’s appliances,
8As well as the steel for the Baron of Guns,
9Who will be named lRemington Colt, XLV,
10Not to mention steel bullets for the Baron of Gunpowder,
11Who will be named mIrene something,
12In spite of not being a girl,
13But a terrifically manly Robber Baron,
14Just like everybody else.
