THE REAL NATURE OF CoRPoR-

We are approaching on the the
times when the public gets clear
notion OF tile real nature Of corpor.

rived six or eight years ago, When
stccks that had been kicked around
me streets began to riso rapidly ana
steadily in value, and then fell
rapidly and steadily, without any
visible cause in the narrow world Of
speculative manipulation.
TIE stock gamblers are n small
part of the whole community, bu,
they are so noisy and persistent that
all of us take our notions OF the
nature and value of stocks from them.
