A ROUNDUP TALK
ON INVESTMENTS
A Dollar Made Is Not a Dollar Saved
But Dollar Saved Is More Than
Dollar Made

While it is important to make
money and more important to save 1t
yet of vastly more Importance is the
intelligent investment of money in
our possession.
Many people are born into the
world, grow up, live within their
shell, die and are shortly forgotten
They may have done no harm, but
the fact that they did no good to
themselves or their fellows separat.
ed them from the rest OF the world
as completely as though a wall WEE
built entirely encompassing Them
So it is with the idle dollar. II we
have means it IS our duty to use
them wisely. We owe this to our
fellow man-we owe it to ourselves.
Every dollar taken out OF circulation
works hardship on some one.
The investor should consider three
important points before making any
investment.
First-Security. Is my money safe?
Second Convertibility. Can l get
my money when I need It? Often one
loses excellent chances of making
good profit by having money tied up
when needed most. Third-Interest.
Is my interest as great as can ex-
pect with safety and convertibility
combined? These three points cover
any Investment.
In looking over different invest
ments one must concede that the
guaranteed mortgage certificate pre-
sents the safest and most convent.
ent form Of investment on the mar
ket today. 1t Is secured by first
mortgages on developed real estate.
Unlike the average mortgage where
the security steadily decreases in
value due to the depreciation of the
home, the guaranteed mortgage GER
tificate becomes greater each month
as the home on which the mortgage
is taken is paid for on monthly in
stallments. Every year the security
is far better than 1t was the preced-
ing one.
These certificates form the best
for the large investor,
the small investor, the long time in
vestor or the short time investor, as
they pay per cent interest on $40
or $4,000. One may leave money
invested for six years or withdraw
In six months. Interest Is paid on
January, April, July and October.
Certificates are not speculative. The
will redeem all certificates
n any time for their full face value
upon reasonable notice.

REDUCING TIE COSTS OF
DISTRIBUTION

Social economists, in the effort to
find the causes Of high cost of living
are giving more and more attention
to the expense of distribution. 1t ia
being realized that our machinery for
delivering the products of the farm
and the mill to the consumer is very
many articles the price the consum.
er pays Is multiplied two or three or
more times from the value at the farm
or at the factory.
This high cost OF distribution is
not largely in railroad rates. II Is
in handling over too many times and
still more in piecemeal handling in
too small quantities.
It is probable that the system of
distribution through q very large

ly to blame. The small store, doing
little business, with overhead char
ges high for the total proceeds. has
to charge up too large q sum as the
cost OF clerk hire. rent, insurance.
etc.
Any retailer can meet the need OF
the times by charging his business,
and reducing overhead charges. and
sales expense, dividing up these char.
ges into a bigger volume OF sales
When a retailer doubles his business,
1t does not usually happen that he
doubles his expense for salespeople,
rent, etc. He can then afford to'sell
cheaper.
The retail business OF the future
will probably be more concentrated

he was recently a millionaire ana
drew $4,000 a month from his stores,
now he hasn't a cent. How charac.
teristlc such a story OF reverses is
Of our up and down American life!
The American temperament takes
bankruptcy rather easily, too much
SO, no doubt. Unless fraud can be
proved, 1t is rare that harsh things
are said. A failure is regarded as
more or less OF An incident, simply
an experiment that did not work, but
which may leave fellow wiser and
more competent to succeed another
time. Even the creditors often feel
pretty god natured. Perhaps they
have made more money than II the
debtor had all along pursued q pol
icy OF safe conservatism.
theoretically the man who has
failed is supposed to be crushed by
the contrast between his former lux.
ury and his present deprivation. Ac,
tually the creditors rarely take away
the basic comforts OF life. They feel
that the debtor is q good speuder,
and there is money in his carcass for
them yet. They would rather have
his friendship than his bottom dollar.
Fortunes wheel turns quickly in
this country.
The business world would go along
more smoothly II business men were
content to keep wider margins Of
safety. The average creditor may
not suffer greatly from such failure
IL past profits are figured in. But
there are always weak spots where
one failure drags In a train OF others
where the shaky concern is forced to
the wall by the loss of single cred

The lesson OF these mischances
should be clear to the average bust
ness man. 1t happens over and over
again that millions OF apparently
solid assets have to be sold for a
song, simply because creditors want
their money and won't wait. A bust.
