Is There Any Chance
for Big Returns on Money Now?
By ALBERT W. ATWOOD


TT has been the uniform purpose of
these articles to inculcate ideas of
safety, caution, and conservatism. So
many millions are lost in ill advised Gin
vestments," by people of every grade of
intelligence and experience, that very
heavy burden of responsibility rests upon
any financial writer who undertakes to
suggest other than the more sure and
solid uses of money. Yet it is fact that
many persons can afford to take some
slight chances, provided they study and
analyze the opportunities offered. 1t is
for such persons that the present article
is written.
Commodore Vanderbilt was quoted as
saying to young men: "Buy opportuni-
ties and sell achievements. For the
average investor this is rather dangerous
advice. For him (or herr experience
proves that it is generally safer to pur-
chase tried, seasoned, stable, settled in
vestments. But, for those who can
afford certain amount of risk, it is
well to look forward to seek, not oppor-
tunities alone, for that is dangerous, but
those stocks and bonds where present
accomplishment is not all.
Don't Try to Make a Fortune
Overnight
HOWEVER, when the average man de-
cides to take little chance he is apt
to throw all common sense and caution to
the winds. He acts, to speak plainly, like
a fool. He tries to make fortune over
night by rushing madly after highly
speculative "war bride" Or, what is
even worse and more usual, he buys some
worthless shares for few cents apiece in
a company that merely has pattern for
a new automobile, or scheme for manu-
featuring moving pictures, or a hazy con-
tract for making war munitions, but no
plant, no organization, no trade name,
built up by years of hard labor, and none
Of the other actual, tangible assets that
successful enterprise must acquire.
Let me make this clear by specific ex-
amples. Many people have gone mad
over Crucible Steel common stock, and
have lost lot of money in it. This COM
pany has very large war orders; it has
large and rapidly expanding plants, and
is rushed with business. But it was not
doing very well before the war, and owed
a lot of back dividends on its preferred
stock. From 1874 last May the common
stock rose to 1895 in September, and fell
back to 1924 in January, and is now
around 80. 1t pays no dividends, and
such have been the fluctuations in its
price that fortunes have been made and
lost therein.
But the preferred stock is different.
1t is now paying per cent. dividends
regularly, and selling around lis, which
is 600 per cent. on ones money. But
there are 24.75 per cent. back divi-
dends on the preferred stock, and the pur-
chaser has an exceedingly good chance
of obtaining, besides his per cent.
a year, nearly 25 per cent. additional in
the course of very few years. Common
sense indicates that, if the company is
doing one half the business it appears to
be doing, it will not only be able right
along to pay its regular per cent, but
settle up the 25 per cent. in arrears
Another opportunity of the same char
acter is the preferred stock of the Ameri-
can Gan Companv navinp z nnr cent

Buy Two Stocks Together
FOR short investment to pay fair
return there are the Cities Service per
cent. notes, due in 1918, to pay at present
prices little more than per cent; while
the preferred stock of the same company
appears to be growing stronger, and pays
between and per cent. The company
owns scores of gas, electric, street railway,
natural gas, and petroleum properties in
several different States. Another similar
stock is United Light & Railways Com
pany 6 per cent. preferred, which pays
~ per cent.
These stocks should be further inves-
tigated; but the reader can rest assured
that his investigations will show him the
existence of opportunity combined with
real merit.
An excellent plan for those who wish
to combine speculation and investment is
to buy two stocks together, one dividend
and the other non-dividend. For ex-
ample, buy Wabash preferred A and
American Smelling preferred, or Erie first
preferred and American Can preferred
In this way, half the investment pays 6
per cent. or more and the other half holds
out promise of future dividends and con-
siderable advance in price.
