Nothing makes money so rapidly so nicely
and so easily as money. To make money fast,
to pile UP riches. one must have money for a
wor6ing-tool. Laborers have been known TO
achieve wealth. but not directly by the labor of
their hands. The highest priced laborer in the
land might hoard his wages all his life. and the
sum total would not be enough 10 buy plot OF

There is a peculiar fascina ton about investing
money properly-a satisfaction which comes
with intelligent discernment. Anybody can de-
posit savings in bank or trust company, and
receive the meagre returns which may be paid
TO them as interest. To do this does not require
any knowledge of business affairs or corpora
tions or of anything that stands for develop
ment. enterprise or the upbuiding Of the cOun-
try in which we live.
But when man or woman invests money IN
stocks or bonds and receives dividend checks
representing double. triple and sometimes quad
ruple the amount paid in interest by banks and
trust companies, the investor is conscious OF
judgment well directed. The investing of money
by the masses in corporation enterprises is,
within itself a school for the education OF the
mind IN knowledge which has to do with things
OF great moment.
