  • The First Disunited Amalgamated Trust Wants You!

    I would like to make it clear that the Apolyton Corporation's monopolistic practices will not be tolerated in Federation space! The First Disunited Amalgamated Trust will see to it that our members and customers get a fair shake.

    The First Disunited Amalgamated Trust is not a corporation, but rather, a cooperative of interested traders dedicated to the goal of fine trade goods for everyone!

    I came upon a barroom full of bad Salon pictures in which men with hats on the backs of their heads were wolfing food from a counter. It was the institution of the "free lunch" I had struck. You paid for a drink and got as much as you wanted to eat. For something less than a rupee a day a man can feed himself sumptuously in San Francisco, even though he be a bankrupt. Remember this if ever you are stranded in these parts. ~ Rudyard Kipling, 1891
