many more will be made through wise
Investments. Many fortunes are lost

Second. set down quotation from

I'm lending or investing money all
possible care should be taken to guard
against hasty or impulsive decision.
Every endeavor should be made to as

this attitude toward all investment
propositions comes to have an increas-
ing regard for the element of conserya-

seek the cooperation of investment ex.
