To the Reader;

Great and mighty changes have
taken place the past twenty years in
the manner of doing business. The
present age is no longer the time and
age of independent and competitive in

plainly that it tells US that great sue

mess known. Time was (and not so

store was the place of the successful
merchant, the dry goods man. or the
grocer, but these men saw greater capital
merged and banded together to do the
same business on a much larger plane.
The corner grocer could at best only
buy in limited quantity. If he bought
from the wholesaler or manufacturer,
we will say. five barrels of sugar, five
bags of coffee. three chests of tea, ten
boxes of soap. and five cases of each

COMBINED CAPITAL.

To-day every individual who has a
business wants to combine-he must to
be successful. Now. you may have $500
Ior $1,000 in bank, but you cannot use It
to any advantage. But by placing your
$1,000 with the $1,000 that Mr.. Smith,
Mr.. Brown, Mrs. Jones, and Mrs. White
may have. you obtain a sum sufficient
to do big things. 1t is the only sensible
way in this age to do. The public wants
to buy goods cheaper, and by combin
ing capital the goods can be bought
for much less and sold at a less price
and on smaller profits. but the aEEre-
gate of these small profits is large
when put together.

SAVING.

For years banks have educated the
posit their money in bank and Offering
IS per cent interest, while the bank,
owned by few shareholders, combined
these small sums of the saver and used
IT to invest. In the city of Camden
one bank has six million dollars on de-
post. all belonging to the saving class.
This bank has a small capital and only
a few shareholders. The people to
whom this money belongs get per cent
a year rent. but the bank has so in
vested the money that it pays its share
holders dividends of 80 per cent. and
recently divided a surplus OF *35O,OO
as an extra dividend. The bank has
educated the people to save, but the
bank put all of this money out by in
vestments and earned for the owners of
the bank mot for those who saved) the
enormous profits mentioned.
INVESTING.
You have read about the saver who
gets per cent; you have noted what
money. which has been rented of you
at per cent; stop saving and be an
investor. You can do it. II 1000 per
sons save so a month, this means &c.,
900 per month or $4,000 per year. The
interest on that at 3 per cent is $500
year. but II 1000 persons (and it will
no doubt be done) buy one share per
month of the stock of the United Gro
GERS Company, this stock at the very
lowest should pay $4,000 interest, and
after the first year it should pay per-
haps double that amount. and the
shares bought at SO must have 4
steady increased value. This is an In
veStment, and every shareholder profits
alike.
Stop saving money at ; per cent for
other people to invest who will make
several times that amount on your
money, but do your own investing.

children or others
