LIBRARIES
SAVE INVESTORS
Some Of the Proposed investments
are Looked up in the Vast
Store Of Knowledge a
Library Contains.

Speculation in wildcat stocks
which has caused enormous losses in
the last few year, is being checked
not only by investigations conducted
by municipal chambers of commerce
and kindred organizations, but by
public libraries. Thousands of dol
lars have been diverted from spuri-
Gus or doubtful enterprises and much
misery spared by information obtain
ed from books on library shelves
dealing with the fundamentals of the
proosition which promised large
and quick returns on the investment.
A man in a middle western city re.
Gently lost large sum by investing
in gasoline producing proposition
without informing himself in its
feasibility. Another saved himself
thousands by going to the pubic
library and reading about the tech
nology of gasoline making. Enormous
amounts of money could be saved
daily by persons in every walk of
life if they would obtain authentic in
formation before they undertake the
particular proposition in which they
are interested.
A vast store of technical informa-
ton Is BILE at the public library
and its widespread use will tend to
eliminate many sources of waste and
useless effort in the industrial and
business world. The enlarged pro
gram Of the American, Library asso-
citation purposes to promote good
reading and universal self-education
through books and libraries and
create public. sentiment that will
adequately support existing libraries
and cause libraries to be created
where they do not now exist. To
carry out the provisions of this pro-
gram, a fund of 100000 Is now
being raised by librarians, library
trustees and friends of libraries with
out recourse to an intensive drive.
