Victor's firm reaches forty-million-dollar turnover in 1970

Neville reports that his brother Victor's private family company, having started 'behind the 8-ball', did a forty-million-dollar business this year, and that he himself received a twenty-percent dividend on his stock — unusually high, he notes, because it is a private company that can pay what it wishes.

    Source He Is Dreaming Now ¶56passage 554127 (lecture nid 2148): '...started behind the 8-ball; so this year he did a forty-million-dollar business, and so I got my dividend check. It was a twenty-per-cent dividend.'
    Reasoning Neville reports this as a result of 'this year', tying it to the telling lecture's own year. Both of the lecture's delivery-date candidates (a provisional May 1970 catalog claim, and a better-supported July-December 1970 window derived from the lecture's own internal chronology) agree on 1970, so the year is well anchored even though the lecture's own dating is only probable, capping this event's confidence at probable too.

    Source He Is Dreaming Now ¶34delivery claim d1 on lecture nid 2148: derived from passages 554105/554126/554127, bound 1970-07..1970-12, probable, superseding the provisional d0 (1970-05, contradicted by the lecture's own internal chronology of a July underwriting already completed).
    Reasoning The lecture's own text places its Chicago-underwriting narrative between May and July, with the broker's work already completed by the time of the lecture, which is inconsistent with the file's provisional May 1970 delivery claim. The better-supported reading bounds delivery to July-December 1970.
