THE WRAPAROUND: SHELL

"Taking a piece of paper, Klinowitz showed Todd the secret of buying real estate for a large corporation like a gasoline company: ‘You find a good spot, on the corner of two busy roads. The owner has two acres, won’t break it up into smaller lots. The company, say Mobil or Humble in the old days, they can use a quarter of an acre, only. That leaves you with an acre and three-quarters wrapping around the corner in a kind of capital L. Your job as buyer is to buy the entire piece, but not before you’ve found someone like me who’ll take the wraparound off your hands. Do you see the economics?’"~~~James A. Michener: TEXAS. Ch13 The Invaders
