Fred and Alane were early entrepreneurs. One of their first money making efforts that netted them 100% profit was making cookies and selling them to Grandma Sybil. Fred, Alane, and Grandma Sybil all seemed to profit from this deal because the price of cookies was typically 35 cents a dozen. Mom and Dad put an end to the business fairly quickly. Looking back it may have been because they were losing so much money on the deal and I’m not sure how proficient a young Alane and Fred were at cleaning the kitchen.
