I had long talk yesterday with one Of
the most observing fnanciers of Wall
street. He is a man known universally,
and whose ideas and judgment are eagerly
sought. found him in genial mood and
he became very confidential, but insisted
that withhold his name.
1T is intensely interesting, !" he said, "to
watch the rise of millionaires and great
fortunes. There are so many kinds. Some
are made b. speculation and have little
stability. Others are secured by valuable
enterprise, by giving people something
they want something they need. These
are upon the surest possible basis. For ex-
ample, people must have coal oil. Look at
thu fortunes made from its production.
People must telegraph must telephone.
See the millions that have been made by
these things. Men and women will get
sick. Are you aware of the enormous for
tunes that are made in supplying rea4cure
for theme 1 know OF many, but there is
one especially. The gentleman WHO dis
covered il has made millions. andiSfhe COM
pany tEAt owns it is coming mones.' -
'Havsyou any objections tafelling me
what it ik2'' asked.
"ConfdAptially, no. Irefeffo Mr. H. h.
Warner. He is a very weathy man, and
his medicine business payg a dividend of
from is TO 20.per cent ann9Ally. He manu-
features the SRfe Cure " hear so much
about. I lear& too, thN he is about to
add the manufseture ~ Baking Powder,
whice will doubtless duble his profits"
1T is a stock cdtpoeation, is it not?'
''Most decidedly sSBut 1 learn, sub rosa,
that limited amoAt of stock is obtain
able, but only by csttSlan persons"
why is that2B
''Ihe idea, as understand it, is to have
people personally interestsd in its profits,
and their influence materially tends to
doubling the di$dends. Any man can af-
ford TO part with some of his stock at less
than it is wosth II the balance that he
holds will be doubled in value thereby. You
can see that, cRn'tyou?"
Il have heard that Mr.. Warner, person
ally, does not hesitate to put up guaran-
tee that for the next five years not less than
10 per cent dividends per year will be paid
the chances are it will be three times that
amount If you are interested in the mat
ter, though, why don't you drop line to
Mr.. H. q. Warner, at 80 Broadway. He
probably has some inside information that
will be of value to you l have told you
all know, but you can get all the truth by
writing TO headquarters. Try it"
What other good investments do you
know of?''
Several, but none so sound as this. 1
always look carefully for stability as well
as large dividends, and anything founded
upon the needs of the people is founded
upo a rock. Now take my advice and
write TO Mr.. Warner. He will be certain
to answer you"
l tried to draw the financier out upon
other subjects, but he was so filed with the
idea of the Industrials as the best and
surest of investments that he would not
talk of stocks, bonds, or other fiuctuating
securities. l have thought the subiest over
very carefully, and l believe he is right.
Certainly there can be nothing more certain
than public needs, and nothing more safe
than a standard article that supplies these
Reeds. l reproduce this interview for the
benefit Of any who may be seeking informa-
sion upon the subject Of investments, and
who may feel like writing to headquarters,
- I was advised to do.-HAMILToN.
