Turning ON LIGHT
PRESIDENT WALLS BOLD MOVE
MARKS EPOCH IN FINANCE.
Accuracy" Reduced Western Unions
Surplus s,ooO,0OO.-"PublIelty"
Inspired Such Confidence That
In Stock Went Up.

Are the great financiers OF the
country beginning to see a new light?
Time was, until recently in fact, when
the men at the head of the big cor
porations kept their business to
themselves" as far as the law would
allow. Capable men at the head Of the
big concerns, long realized the weak
ness Of their position. but what was
needed obviously, as in all great re-
forms, was an unmistakable occasion
and courageous man. The occasion
arose In the purchase Of the Western
Union Telegraph company by the
American Telephone and Telegraph
company. and the man appeared In
Theodore N. Vail, President Of the
purchasing corporation.
1t was last December when public
announcement was made that the
Gould holdings Of Western Union had
been taken over by the Telephone
company.
On account Of the high esteem in
which the management of the tele-
phone company is SO generally held,
great things were predicted as a re-
suit OF the absorption OF Western
Union. BY the press of the country
the deal" was most favorably com.
mented on, It being widely pointed
out that under the direction of such
men as Theodore NJ Vail and his as
sociates, the telegraph company was
bound soon to work itself into q pO-
sition where 1t could offer the public
far more efficient service than It had
ever before been able to offer.
But a very few months had elapsed
when 1t became apparent to the new
management that a modern and up
to-date appraisal OF the company's
assets would make possible q far
greater degree Of efficiency Of oper-
alton. Here" they said to them
selves, we've bought control of this
property and we know IT'S immensely
valuable, but we don't know Just
how valuable. These appraisals Of
real estate and securities owned were
made a long time ago. If we have
"a complete inventory made Of every
thing we've got we can announce the
facts to the public, start a new set of
books, and begin our responsibility
to stockholders right there"

complexion, or for pimples, red noses
or any other infammations, blemish-
es, or discolorations, its presence can
not be detected. 1t can thus be an-
piled in the daytime, the natural col
