OVER two and half million dollars
have been absorbed by the short term
endowment societies which have been
going to the wall SO rapidly of late in
Philadelphia. Very little of this money
will ever go back to the artisans and
working people who paid it. Most of
those who went into these get-rich-
quick orders realized that they We're
only engaging in a speculation. Their
experience shows how ready people
are TO speculate when the cost is small
and the returns promised large, and
how little attention is paid to which
way the odds lie until it is beyond their
power to retrace their steps.
