Stock Selling Scheme

TN a few days a stock pedder will call on you. Watch out for
him. He win try to unload on you some stock in a queeE cor
and he'll tackle you for a membership. The price is small; only a
dollar or such a matter. And he will tell you in his oily tongue
about the dividends,
But don't you be fooled, There will be no dividends except in
brotherhood, and if you get into the corporation you will be stuck
for assessments. Lord, Man, the assessments will come in thick and
fast before this war is over. Your heart will be wruns time and
again by the need of our soldiers; by the hunger and want in the
families of Our soldiers; by the disease and famine in Europe. And
while, OF course. the assessments are voluntary, they will come and
harden your heart, If you meet them your life will grow. Deny
them and your bank account will grow. Take your choice. Deny
them or pass them. The assessments are before you, and # you buy
stock in this corporation your whole Efes destiny will hinge upon
the way you handle that stock.
And it is a curious stock in this: The dividends, as ~hereinbefore
stated, are iii human brotherhood. From all over the earth, wherever
men and women and children are In want and misery, at home, in
France, in Italy, in England-even in Russia-will come to America
during this war, and forever after this war, the deep, sweet abiding
ing the starving through this corporation, and they will not forget
it, nor their ehildrcns children. We are healing the sck-the
tubercular, the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS with sores and filth. We
are housing the homeless in the devastated area of Belgium and
France and Italy, and the agents Of this corporation are gathering
up the good will OF humanity in bales and shipoads and are pouring
it back into America.

Watch out for that stock seller. Don't let him fool you. If
you become q stakeholder in his corporation, it will cost you your
hearts best aspirations, your minds best plans, and mueh-exeeed.
