DUCKS OR sTocKs7
An Investment That Pays Better
Than Dabbling In Stocks
ON Tips.

A circular sent out by firm of tipsters
says: 1T is now over three years since we
first addressed you about our stock opera
tons. During that time had you invested
500 at the beginning and compounded your
profits, your 500 would now be nearly
%,775. Is there any business that will pay
you better than S4,775 profits on 500 CAPT
tai in three years?" A copy of the circular
fell into the hands Of man who made this
rejolnder:
The answer is, yes-ducks, tame, pud-
die. muscovy, Pekin, or any other breed
A little girl had Is cents with which she
bought sitting of duck eggs. She Dor
rowed brooding chicken hen from her
mother, and all the eggs were Matched out.
Her profits for the first six months were So,
and she kept three hens and a drake for
the next six months operations. 1t is fair
topresume that her profits will be at least SO
for each six months; one year SIG; three
years, $is. Divide $4s by her Is cents and
the quotient will be 320-that is, each OF
her Is cents will produce 800 cents; on 81
or 100 cents the profit will be $1,000 cents,
or 1920; on 500 capital the profit would be
$4,000, against the $4,775. Verify a good
investment is in duck eggs"
