DO NOT BUY STOCK or PRO-
MoTERs WITHOUT ADVICE

II is reported that promoters fol
an eastern firm have been selling
stock in Dickinson county without
permission of the state bank COM
missioner and have been gathering
In considerable money.
Dickinson county people have been
bitten times enough on worthless
stocks to have learned long ago that
they ought to investigate before part
ing with their good money. The
sensible course to pursue when n
promoter of any kind comes to you
is to take his literature to your To-
cal banker and talk It over with
him before you invest.
Had the people Of this county done
so during the past decade they would
be several hundred thousand dollars
ahead, II IL very rare that stock
sold by promoters who peddle them
through the country ever return a
dividend. and so far as ever being
able to cash In your stock for real
money is concerned. 1t is usually a
dream.
The farmers Of Dickinson county
have had experience enough to teach
them to use their heads in cases
like this and II they are not good
enough businessmen to take little
time and investigate concerns that
want to use their money, they
should blame nobody but themselves
II they get bit.
Don't buy any stocks of anybody
until you have consulted your bank
er or some one who is authority on
that sort of speculation.
