The article says Fuller later made more than a quarter of a million dollars.
Neville tells this himself in 'Sound Investments': after urging Fuller not to let racial prejudice restrict him, he reports that in the year before the telling Fuller turned a net profit of about a quarter of a million dollars, corroborating the Bailes-article account of Fuller's later fortune.

Why
The forward witness (article, passage 149080) gives the same figure but no timing; only the reverse-witness lecture passage supplies the relative expression.
Reasoning
Neville says Fuller's profit came 'in the last year' relative to the telling. The lecture is told 1953-12-04, so the profit falls in the roughly twelve months before that date, spanning late 1952 into 1953; kept as a range rather than a single year.

Why
Two delivery claims on this lecture, both preferred/certain-labelled and mutually inconsistent in precision; see reasoning.
Reasoning
Lecture nid 2024 carries two certain, catalog-sourced delivery claims that disagree: [d0] preferred=1 gives only a bare year 1953; [d1] preferred=0 gives 1953-12-04. Neither is transcript-sourced so the catalogue-override rule does not apply, but [d1] is strictly more precise (day-level) and 1953-12-04 is a Friday, matching Neville's dominant Mon/Tue/Fri lecture pattern, so it is preferred over the year-only claim for the told date. Capped at probable rather than certain because both source claims are still legacy_unreviewed.
