Development in Months

The following months became some of the busiest months in the history of Helmarte Soap Works.

For the first time since founding the company, Ernest felt as if ten different projects were moving at the same time.

And every single one required attention.

Northport.

Ravenford.

Eastgate.

The three new factories had officially entered the construction phase.

Letters traveled constantly between cities.

Architects submitted revisions.

Suppliers negotiated contracts.

Construction supervisors requested approvals.

Every morning, new reports arrived on Ernest's desk.

Every afternoon, more followed.

The amount of paperwork alone would have been impossible a year ago.

Fortunately, five thousand sheets of paper had arrived from the paper workshop.

And they were already disappearing faster than Ernest expected.
