PERTINENT AND
TO THE POINT
REASONABLE QUERY. wHYg

themselves, if the Phoenix is such =
good money-making proposition? Is
what a great many people ask, when
we speak of our director list and the
immense financial standing and profits
of this company. This question has
been asked us thousands of times, and
when we find one interested sufficiently
to ask these pertinent points we know
that they want stock. 1t is the one
question above all others that shows
interest in the matter and that they
are a thinking person.
First: we would not allow them to
buy all of the stock.
I'd: If our directors and other large
financiers and bankers took all of the
stock, who would borrow the money!
Do you suppose they are in the bank
ing business to borrow money from
/ themselves? No.
3rd In Offering the same induce-
ments to the small shareholders as to
the large and giving an equitable dis
tribution of the profits to all, we are
extending our field of operations for
loans which is the life of the bust
ness. A great many people save up
for a few years until they have suth-
cient, with what money they obtain
from us, to buy a house and lot Tor
themselves and own it complete in q
few years more.
4th: If you were stakeholder In
any of the good banks in the ChIteo
States would you advise man to go
to a different bank if he should ASK
YOU regarding a deposit or loan
No. Well, then, why should not Inc
shareholders of the Phoenix throw all
their influence towards their own COM
- many. when they know that 1t IN
creases their dividends, rather tina"
throw it somewhere else2
18Th: The best advertisement that
we can get is the selling of this stock
to such a large number of people Cup
= to a certain limit as the fact of being.
:, able to buy cooperative bank stock on
n installments is something the average
man seldom thinks about until it IS
brought to his attention by our man
ner and method if doing 50, and he, in
turn, would not throw anything in the
way of someone else taking the stock
= Don't you think so?
9Th The distribution of the stock on
this company over a large area of ter
ritory (over 500 localities) to such
large number of individuals in small
