...have taken advantage of the novel opportunities that inevitably accompany broadening prosperity. Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola, 63, a onetime farmer, developed a business to produce bicycle tires for the growing army of bikes, has done so well that he is adding a $1,700,000 plant, plans eventually to harvest his own rubber from his 5,000-acre plantation.

...Mixed Harvest. The scraps of paper planted by Gibran have borne bountiful fruit: nearly $1,000,000 in royalties to date, some $100,000 more every year. Gibran, who coveted both fame and riches, died too soon to reap most of this harvest. His will left everything to the place of his birth, Bsherri.
