NO Use FoR II N FIVE YEARS.

NO USE FOR IT IN FIVE YEARS.
A leading banker OF Wisconsin
vouches for the following incident:
Within the past year the managers
of brewery in one of the smaller
cities of the state decided to build q
new malt house at cost Of $4,000.
They commissioned their president to
go to Milwaukee and effect q loan.
He naturally went to one of the big
brewery-controlled banks of that city.
The yice-president to whom he applied
for the loan, was formerly in the brew
ing business and had made a hand
the palmy days before the drys had
begun to knock the big profits out of
1t. He very wisely got out of the busi-
ness when the getting was good, not
as now, when brewing stocks are all
shot to pieces.
To the utter surprise and chagrin
of the out-of-town brewer he was
promptly refused the loan. He ex-
claimed: Whats the matter? With
all this fine property we got, amt we
good for $25,000?" Is
Quick came the answer from the ex-
brewer-banker: But what do you
want to use the $4,000 for?'
ITO build malt house. SO we can
enlarge our business" said the brewer.
But, you fool, don't you know that
in five years you will have no use
whatever for q malt house" replied
the banker.
