Get-Rich-Q Quick Bubbles That Have Burst
BY HARLEY MATTHEWS
THE BLOOD THE 'IEECHES' DREW

How to keep the bubble from burst
ing was the Leech's real problem.
The longer they could make it float
and swell before their victims eyes,
the more blood they drew And when
they could do it no longer by inspir-
ing hope, they did it with fear.
The blowing of it was easy. They
gave the first puff, muttered a few
magic words, and peoples magma
ton did the rest On its shining
sides they pictured all their desires.
And so pleasant was the contempla-
ton of it, that only at the very last
would they suffer it to be pricked.
The grand offices of Baxter and
company, too, only existed in peoples
imagination. They beheld a substan-
tial looking building in Wall street,
New York, with messengers hurrying
to and from it, and telegraph wires
connected with all the business head
quarters of the country.
First of all, they would see this ad-
vertisement:
$40 to $4,000 invested in stocks
makes fortunes every month.
Book sent free explaining every
thing. Address Baxter and CON-
pany, bankers, II Wall Street"
Who does not desire a fortune and
all that it will bring? But for a per
son to possess a desire, he must first
have imagination. And all that Baxter
and company sought to do was to
make it work and keep working

bursting. Lest he should lose all. as
intimated he sends the 1852 Back
comes Baxter & Co.'S acknowledg
ment. I'VE are holding your contract
and we hope soon to report another
good profit" And hope comes smil-
ing in again to blow the bubble big
ger.
In week he gets a letter. saying
that Baxter & Co, have reinvested all
again, and he is in debt to item for
another $3.50. If he demonstrates, he
is told that there is no immediate
hurry for the money, but to send it
when he can.
Fear again is with him, and, to save
| all, he sends what he can. If he hints
at being near the last of his capital,
he gets a telegram:
1T is absolutely necessary that the
balance be paid by tomorrow, so do
not fail to remit on time"
! Despair is now his companion. But
he sees the bubble still before his
| eyes. Baxter & Co., have told him
| that he is entitled to over $4,000 In
| his anguish he can see it waiting for
| him to collect, but he cannot raise the
| necessary money for Baxter & Co. to
! release it. The bubble keeps dwind-
| ling, until, no. remittances coming,
Baxter & Co. pricks it before his eyes.
| They send him a statement showing
| how, through his neglect, all has been
! lost. DO not be discouraged" they
say. when you have funds to spare,
take another privilege"
All sorts of people were enchanted
! by that magic word of Baxter & Co.'S.
! A clergyman sent them, in alternate
hope and fear, over 1910. A man in
New Orleans sent them all he had, and
! to save that, borrowed from a friend
more money, which the magicians Sc
! cured
