Questions and Answers.

There are lot of what may be called
fool questions being asked these days
by promoters. They are so bold, after
braggart preamble on the subject OF 800
per-cent.-a-year stocks that their utter
fallacies sometimes go unrefuted. Re-
putable and well meaning corporations
when asking for subscriptions to stock do
not put forth such arguments as these.
When fakirs do. end herein the answer to
their only arguments.
First Sophistry: Mr.. Investor-Why let
your money lie In savings banks mt a
paltry or per cent, when the bankers
are making g, 10 and 10 per cent. on your
money on deposit?
Here's the answer: Because the state
law safeguards my money, the interest
Is steady and its earning requires no
acumen or effort on my part. The law
prescribes what a hank can do and ex.
actly what IL can't do with my money
which is something more than I can often

Question: Why buy bonds that will
yield you only or per cent. on your
investment, when the railroad or indus
trial corporation Is making probably
per cent. out OF your money!
Answer: 80 they may, but haven't the
faculty or facility to do so. The reasol
that ] buy bonds-goods bonds--is that
they are amply safeguarded under the
law and are as safe-if not safer-thar
a bank.
Question: But why not take our guaran
tee--our absolute guarantee mind you
that your money in our company will
bring a yield Of 10 per cent. now and
later possibility of making 80 per cent
or more'
Answer: Your guarantee. 40 called

A guarantee, you know, Is only Of
