COMMUNICATION

Editor Courier Democrat, Langdon, ND.
The Langdon commercial club
still receives complaints from different
parts of Cavalier county concerning the
different stock selling propositions that
are being so persistently worked. Some
of these propositions are possibly
legitimate, but we fear that most of
them are simply schemes to benefit a
few promoters at the expense of the
purchasers of the capital stock. Some
of the concerns that are at present en-
gagged in soliciting our people to pur-
chase stock WE have investigated care
fully and will be more than pleased to
furnish reliable information upon the
standing of the concern in which stock
is offered for sale. We are anxious to
help the people of this vicinity in order
that they may not be led into making
investments in concerns that have no
standing, and to that end offer the in.
formation we have secured without
charge, and where we have no definite
information upon the concern in which
a person may be interested, we will
gladly secure the same for any party
interested.
AS stated before We have DO axe to
grind, and would have taken no action
in this matter at all were it not for the
unusually large number of stock selling
and corporation promotion schemes
land we use that term advise dly) that
are beng pushed in this county at the
present time. We will be as free to
give favorable reports, where such are
merited, as we will to unhesitatingly
condemn where condemnation is needed.
Wishing you the greatest possible sue
cess,and placing at your service our most
hearty cooperation at any time you
may fell in need of same we are.
Very Truly Yours.
