had very interesting talk large manufacturers one
Canadian and the other an American.
The Canadian mentioned the fact that his chauffeur some
months asked be placed in the factory that he could
earn and he splendid mechanic he gladly
did
AS a chauffeur had been earning $50 week, but
the factory he had advanced rapidly until he averag
ing about $40 day.
The point that impressed itself my mind the
statement made by this Canadian manufacturer which
that the chauffeur although earning fully three times much
as he formerly did, was not saving penny.
His wife and child dressing much better than they
did few months and he had moved into better house.
but only few days before he had told his employer that
had not put aside one dollar.
No doubt this chaueurs case is typical of thousands of
wage of today and to take this
sound warning those who spending fast they
The present abnormal times continue forever Some
day there must be read ustmen and when wages
will be cut along with other The manufacturer
only continue high wages as long as ne receives high prices
for his product when competition arrives the
manufacturer must meet il or shut down.
This day may a long way off, but the other hand It
may than expected either behooves
the TO give the future thought and
to put aside small portion of his earnings for the inevitable
rainy day.
The wise farmer always makes hay while the shines
and the wise Garner will do likewise.
The American manufacturer spoke of conditions in his home
town in Ohio He told of shopgrs that earning
high $50 S35 weekly whereas they formerly received from
So $40 Nearly every shopgir the town had got into the
habit of expensive adomen and the ordinary shpr thought
nothing of paying So s12 SIS and SIS for pair of white
topped fancy shoes
Some the girls different every day in the
week while others have different colored to match the
fancy shoes.
To me this seems crime the hard times do
come nobody can eat these shoes and that about all some of
have received.
The United States may go 10 war this Uncle
Sam with his wefed purse will add cash customer
to the list.
Uncle Sam will doubt spend than million dollars
with these manufacturers that paying such high
wages is safe TO that present conditions will
dure for months if not for some years
This being established believe it is not only necessary
but that it sacred duty for wepad to
and invest at least half of his weekly earnings.
There never was more opportune the present
investing money and will gladly give fun
complete information the best securities for his
plus funds
The Canadian wage should put his funds into the
Canadian Loan which is absolutely safe and which
him than he from the savings bank
These War Loans can be purchased in small and
arrangements be made for them the nstment
plan.
Loan and say my opinion il represents ideal in
vestment for widows orphans and trust funds.
As investment there is nothing safer in this world for
is backed by Cansdas wonderful and these
all know practically inexhaustibler
Upon request will gladly send fun information regarding
the Canadian War Loans including market price terms
Of payment, interest return, etc
