AUTOMOBILE STOCKS

are making more money for the In.
weston than any other stocks ON
the market. Had you invested .
few hundred dollars at the begin.
ming with Ford, Hupp, tho REQ,
Saxon, Chalmers, Paige-D etroit,
Chandler, White or any Of several
others, you would have tidy for
tune today.
Today the automobile Industry
is established along permanent
lines and today Il l. paying bigger
profits than svsr before in the his-
tory Of the business. II 10 q solid
fact, however, that the big money
has been made BY those who had
the foresight to get In ON the
ground floor with q newly estab-
lished company. II l. very true
that some large profits have been
made on the Stock Exchange dur
ing the pas{ few months, but II is
equally true that much larger
profits have been made by those
who bought these stocks whom they
were first put out and the com.
panies were being organized.
We are the largest exclusive
dealers in automobile securities in .
the country. We do not handle any
other stocks or bonds. We devote
our entire time and attention to
the automobile security market.
For that reason we believe that
we are in a better position to fur
nish facts and information and ad.
vice regarding automobile secur-
tiles than any other brokerage or
banking house in the United
States.
We advised our clients TO buy
Willys-O Overland few months ago.
Since that time the stock has ad-
vanced $4,000 per share. A few
months ago we advised the pur.
chase of REQ and the stock has ad.
vanced over $4,000 per share. A
few months ago we advised the
purchase Of Richard and today
the stock Is selling at just twice
what you could have bought IL for.
We advised the purchase Of Chew
rolst when II was selling for less
than 100000 today Il il selling at
more than twice that amount. A
few mcnths ago we advised the
purchase Of Paise-D etroit, and
had you bought then you could
havs doubled your money.

Eleven secretaries of various cham bers of commerce and other civic bod ies in Connecticut, together with sev- eral guests, gathered Thursday at the Hartford Chamber of Commerce for the meeting of the Connecticut Associa- tion of Commercial and Civic Execu- tives.

 John E. Lathrop of the American City bureau of New York spoke on the important questions which confront American cities and advocated some form of commission managed govern ment. He is conducting the city plan ming exhibit in New York, the same exhibition which has been shown in 16 cities in the United States, Canada and South America, and which orig mated in New York with the co-opera- tion of many civic and technical ex- perts.
