UPTON'S COUNTING HOUSE& BROKERAGE

Elihu Upton operates a brokerage firm, insurance company and law office out of this large one-story brick building. Most of the building is given over to offices, but a small living area for Upton occupies about a third of the floor space. Upton employs Hatcher Meeks and Gunther Heppel as clerks and accountants. Meeks and Heppel both board at THE DOUBLE EAGLE.

Upton has several varieties of fire, home and mine accident insurance available for premiums of between 5 cents and $1 for every hundred dollars worth of coverage. The exact price will vary based upon Upton's estimate of his risk and how much he thinks he can soak the customer for.

Upton also sells mining stocks (mostly worthless) in mines throughout the American southwest. Prices range between 50 cents and $4 per share (plus a 5% commission for Upton). Upton also practices law on the side. His scale of fees is 10% higher than Mitchell Berg's. He will take any case.

DM Note:  Determine the exact cost of the insurance by rolling percentile dice and modifying the result according to the GM 's appreciation of the situation. Rolls less than 5 are treated as 5. Those greater than 00 are treated as $1.
The numbered results equal a monthly premium of that amount in cents (a roll of 68 means a premium of 68 cents, for example).
