Weiss would sometimes present him with four consecutive bills for four months where he would then write him a check for four months at the cost of $ 100.00. He said Mr. Weiss would allow for him to go without paying the monthly lease for a few months but nothing more than four months, since the monthly rent was so cheap.
He sometimes said there might be a trade-off where he would give Mr. Weiss business in having him make various steel props such as steel vase holders, where he would pay Mr. Weiss for his work including rent. He said the trade-off would be where he would not have to pay rent each month and hold the rent over for a few months before he paid it.
