site has been bought and paid for in it's entirety.
At this stage few local persons are interested
in the enterprise, either because they do not un-
derstand fully what is intended, or because their
stock is sold to them at greatly reduced price.
When enough money has been realized from
initial sales of stock, factory building is
erected. In the meantime, the promoter has
been drawing regularly and without fail COM
mission of Is per cent on every dollars worth of
stock that is issued.
After the building is completed, the insiders
buy an old industrial concern that is ready to
suspend or go into the hands of receiver. This
plant is then sold to the company at an enormous
profit, the promoters, of course, pocketing the
difference between what they paid for the con-
Germ and the price at which it was sold to the
company which they are promoting.
AS soon as the public has absorbed all the
stock it will take, as soon as the sucker list
supplies no more victims, the promoters resign
from the company, and go to other fields to try
the same game again.
The public may believe that the danger of
investing in promotion stocks has been exagger-
ated, but there is hardly a periodical in the
United States, daily, weekly or monthly, that has
not printed article after article advising the in
vestors to put their money into stocks and bonds
that have been tested and tried.
The stock promoter knows that the public is
gullble, that it wants to get rick quick, that it
wants to get something for nothing; hence, he
never tires of redressng old schemes, of pre-
senting old plans under new guises, for he be-
!eves that sucker is born every minute and all
YOU have to do to hook him is to change your
bait.

READIN SIS.
BY George Matthew Adams


l have always admired the ready
person--the one with no complaints or
excuses to offer when called for a
task.
To be prepared to accept every
change in life as it comes-and to do
it with a sort Of iron serenity-well,
that is heroism de luxe!
Every star has it's own set path
and it doesn't worry over running into
any other star For it's way is part
of the order of the universe.
Readiness is an offspring Of order.
The we'll ordered man or woman
takes things up in their turn-and sees
through them. And their tasks do not
overlap. One thing at a time-and
that we'll done. Then the next job.
The ready person is never swept OFF
his feet He stands his Sround-ac-
cepts circumstance at its face value
even though that value is very high.
He pays it.
= Old John Brown at Harper's Ferry
saw his sons shot down before his
very eyes-yet did he fight on. There
was to this hero of heroes a readiness
of mind and body that gave to him the
fortitude to see in a great cause no
personal fear.
Also readiness is a creator of calm
ness, courage and fineness of mental
attitude.
There is readiness of heart which
sees in every misfortune a chance to
serve. There is a readiness of mind
which is able to grasp situations and
face them and then to decide de
cisively.
Readiness is power!
