WARNS AGAINST SHARPERS
''Ad" Men Give Advice on Lib.
ertY Bond Trading

II you want to sell Liberty Bond,
transact the deal through a reputable
bank or bond house, is the arpeal of the
Associated Advertising Clubs of the
World. in its effort to check widespread
transfer of bonds for valueless securi-
ties.
The organization especially urges
against the trading of Liberty Bonds
for stocks. unless the dear is made
through an established concern. doing
away with the danger of sharpers being
mixed into the transaction.
An investigation made by the Asso-
ciated clubs disclosed that in one
county, SO per cent, or $4,000. 900 worth
of the bond sale in that district had
been obtained by stock statesmen pro-
noting worthless enterprises.
The Associated Clubs has issued the
warning against Liberty Bond sales to
counteract any influence that may have
been raised against the bonds by pro-
moters representing that their enter
prises were much better than Govern
ment bonds because the returns were
larger The move is to halt any preju-
dice that may affect the forthcoming
Fourth Liberty Loan.

tions seized in the swoop on the Car
