Some of Detroit's shrewdest and thriftiest
men and women are combining their re-
sources to invest in downtown business
properties. - u
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 win 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 apitalist-except under one condition.
