GEOGRAPHICS INC. — A STRANGE BEGINNING

“Sue the government?” Hagan exclaims. “The $8,000 I put down on the company was all I had.”

The government still has Hagan’s gear. Not that it would’ve done him any good, anyway. Geographics had no credit, and the only thing worse than its customer list was its accounts receivables (Hagan described both as “crummy.”) But this was Atlanta, where the phoenix rose from the ashes after Sherman torched the city. Hagan may have been dealt off-suit under cards, but he was far from folding.
