, 10 say, keep a considerable amount
OF surplus money in their possession
or within reach Many OF them are
] lenders, either directly or through
agents. The prosperous farmers OF
! the West are lending money today
on mortgages in a huge aggregate
] Just as two generations ago Eastern
banks and Eastern investors were
lending great sums OF money on west
ern farms
There are more than twelve million
farmers in the United States. In re-
cent years the great majority OF
them have been making good money
and saving a considerable part OF It.
Tens of thousands of them have been
getting rich IN the sense Of having
their farms free and clear and a mod
est fortune besides. If only one-quar-
ter of the farmers Of the United
States have surplus wealth TO invest
in attractive securities or other OBJ
iects. and II the average surplus
wealth available for such investment
by these prosperous families is only
$1,000, an investing power is lodged
in their hands of some S3,000,000 600.
Take the railroads and the indus
trial corporations In the Pennsyl-
yania Railroad alone the number Of
stockholders for several years has
ranged around 10000. More than So
600 Of these stockholders have held
and are holding average shares OF
the par value of less than $4,000 But
those shares are owned outright by
those small stockholders. They are
n a 90.
They are security which they can de-
post and do deposit as collateral
whenever they want to buy a few
more securities as they are always
buying them.
The Pennsylvania Railroad is per
haps the most conspicuous among
railways for the large number of
small stockholders. But there are
numerous other great railway prop
critics which have comparatively as
long lists OF small stockholders. They
number tens and hundreds OF thou
sands on top OF the Pennsylvania's
list.
The same thing Is true OF the Uni
ted States Steel Corporation. of the
American Telephone and Telegraph
Company, OF dozens of other great
industrial corporations whose lists Of
small stockholders run up into the
hundreds OF thousands as TO numbers
and whose individually small stock
holdings aggregate hundreds and
hundreds OF millions OF dollars. And
all these have similar investing power
in attractive securities and other ap-
pealing investments by virtue of the
value OF their present holdings which
enable them to borrow on them as
collateral from any hank or any lend
Pr when they wish to buy more.
At this very moment there could be
no better illustration of the enormous
BORROWING and investing power lodged
IN the persons OF all these small
holders OF securities and other wealth
han the figures which are Just made
public regarding the subscriptions TO
he Liberty Loan. The Government is
going to issue now $4,000, 100000 of
bonds For this issue there were A.
