men and women are combining their
sources to invest in downtown business
properties. 4
By banding together they will be able to
make more money than they could separately
and individually.
For the man with 500 is fortunate to
receive more than go return on his money;
barring exceptional returns, the possessor OF
$1,000 viii average but little more.
But the man who has $4,000 or $4,000
is offered opportunities for returns out of
reach of the small capitalist who cannot
finance the large transactions with their pro-
portionately greater percentages of profit.
Large SUMS of money bring greater returns
on each dollar than do small sums.
So the man who has not great deal of
ready cash to invest is absolutely prevented
from receiving the big profits possible to the
large capitalist-except under one condition

Stockholders Retain Powers

All important transactions, including the
purchase, sale, mortgage or lease for
period of more than FIVE years Of any of the
corporations holdings are subject to the
approval of three fourths of the stock
holders.
II was the plan of the incorporators to
retain in the hands of the stockholders
every possible power-to a much greater
extent than is usual in corporation affairs
where most of the powers are delegated TO
the board of directors and the executive
officers.
We always retain the right to decline any
subscription for stock. so that we can pros
tect ourselves against undesirable stock
holders and against those who may not be
able TO keep up their payments This is for
the protection of every stakeholder.

The announcement today launches
the preliminary publicity campaign
which preeedes the actual fund cam

heavy war needs Of the national or
ganization, Miss Chickering outlined
the necessity for the local campaign
as follows:
by the middle Of this month the
national board of the Young Women's
Christian Assoc iatton expects to have
al its command four million dollars
to be used for work among women in
this country and In Europe
The fact that the Y. NJ. c. A. asked
for $4,000 900 for its vast and impor-
tant work and secured $4,000, 900.
assures the women at the head OF the
Y. w. c. A. campaign that far more
than the four million requested will
be forthcoming.
These two campaigns, that of the
Y. NJ. a. combined with this of the
Y. w. C. A., make easily the largest
