INVESTIGATE BEFORE BUYING.

DO not buy an unknown quantity
from a stranger. Investigate before
YOU plunge. Hundreds of dollars are
lost because people put too much faith
in the glowing accounts and bOmbaStlc
promises of stock statesmen.
A case at hand is that of IA widow
woman in California. She heard OF
the wonders of the Ranger oil fields
Of Texas. One day Il stock salesman
visited her and painted IA glowing word
picture of the fortunes which were
being made over night in the Ranger
fields. He showed her figures and
quoted facts about the big wells of the
Texas fields. And then he applied
those facts to the company which he
was representing. This company. he
said. held leases Oh thousands Of acres
Of land on Padre Island. in the Texas
oil fields The company was carrying
on extensive operations there, he said.
The widow woman invested the few
hundreds of dollars which she had
managed to save in stocks Of the COM
pany.
Months passed, and she heard moth
ing from her investment. Then she
wrote to the editor Of the Ranger
Record. asking for information con-
corning the company. The day her
letter was received daily newspapers
carried the story stating that the pres
ident of the company had been taken
before Federal Judge lands at
Chicago and charged with defrauding
| the public. and that he was remanded
to Jail without bond 1t developed that
the fake company had sold thousands
| Of dollars of worthless stock on the
| strength of their alleged operations
| on Padre Island. Padre Island is Il
sand reef in the Gulf of Mexico along
the lower part Of Texas and is
hundreds of miles from the Ranger
| fields. As it belongs to Il few Browns
| Vile rancherS. the fabulous company
| of course. has no interest at all in it.

The cost of the entire educational
