enter school at the age of , and go through high school, equipped to enter any col lege in the United States You now know why I am proud of Connecticut.
 "Jim" Connors and
 "Joe" Haloran stand
 100 per cent. with their
 associate workers.
 It was my privilege to meet the workers ill the Bridgeport stores and to have an opportunity to talk to them about the ambition of their employers in owning . chain of 31 stores in Con necticut. l also talked to the workers in the New Britain and Hartford stores.
 In all the stores, the work CTS gave enthusiastic en- dorsement of the plans of the new corporation, and they pledged themselves to buy ali the preferred stock they can pay for now, out of their savings, and they asked to be permitted to buy more shares as they are able to save out of their earnings over a period of a year or two.
 When men have the 100 per cent. backing of their own associates, they can be counted on to play square with everybody else. It is a sure sign of personal honor and thoughtful consideration of the rights of others.
 I honestly believe that buying 8 per cent. cumula- tive preferred stock in a go- ing business, such as Is the business conducted b v "Jim" Connors and "Joe" Halloran, who all admit are able, honest men, is like own- ing a first mortgage on valu- able real estate.
 In a case of this kind. everything resolves itself finally into confidence in the integrity and ability of men to carry through their plans.
 The thousands of people that know Jim" and "Joe" personally, who believe in them completely, means fine certificate of character.
 Of course, you all are familiar now with the frank statements printed in the newspapers signed personal ly by "Jim" Comors and "Joe" Halloran. You must admit that never before have any institutions or men gone to the public in quite such a frank, open and above-board way.
 Sincerely yours,

through their hometown newspapers.
 "Jin" knows my ideas about going to the public with all the facts about any proposition with which l have any connection. He knows l won't write any thing for anybody unless l believe 100 per cent. that what I write is the truth. He knows, too, that I am a great believer in the principle that a writer must put conscience and sincerity into his work if he is to win the confidence of the people-and this ap- plies particularly to writers who invite the public to in- vest their money.
 l told "Jim" that l would go along with him and write the story of their new enter prise, because l have abso- lute faith in the integrity of the individuals, as well as in the proposition itself.
 I am glad to do this, be- cause I think this form of publicity will mean uEti- mately the protection of people from investing in scraps of paper, instead of safe securities.
 You all know as well as l do that there has been a great deal of interruptions selling of alleged securities, in which people have lost their money. There Is only one way to stop this sort of thing and that is to print the facts in the public press.
 Connecticut people are
 good partners to have
 in business.
 Personally, I have a wide acquaintance among Con necticut people. l like Con necticut people, on general principles-but more par ticularly because my father. Samuel Freeman, who was one of the great educators of his day, was born in Mans field, Holland County, Janu- ary 6, 1922.
 He left Mansfield at the age of IT to become a teacher of a country school at Cool baugh's, Monroe County: Pa, where he met my mother, a pupil in his school. After they were married, they both taught in the pub lie schools of New Jersey, and they had a great deal to do with establishing the present high standards in the schools, of that State. My father, I am proud to say, won a national reputation as educator and fought many years to make it possible for the child of any parents to

stock among the people of Connecticut, after you have issued all the shares of pre- ferred stock necessary to supply you with the money that you will have to spend in stocking and equipping 27 more stores.
 Jim instantly saw the full import of this suggestion,
 That $ what I will do." and said:
 "Jim" Connors and
 "Joe" Halloran and
 their associates decid-
 ed also to issue only
 5G,0OO shares of com
 mon stock.
 In talking to me about this feature of the business, "Jim'' said that he and his associates would be perfect ly satisfied to own 3O,OOO shares of common stock in the new company, to which they are entitled, I think because the stocks, the equipment, their store repre- sent a conservative valua- tion of $3OO,OOO, which is the par value of 3O,OOO shares of common stock at $10 the share.
 "Jim" Connors and "Joe" Halloran do not know how to be "tricky' in business. and they would not be tricky if they could.
 They know that they must make their holdings of com mon stock in the new com- pany valuable, before they can make any money for themselves, outside of the small salaries for living eX- penses which they have pledged themselves to draw while building up the busi- ness of 27 more stores.
 It will require at least $30,OOO to $35,0O0 to stock and to equip each one of 27 new stores, so you see the need of the new company getting local authorization to issue, all told, 100000 shares of preferred stock at $1O the share-or $1, 100000.
 So the money comes in to the treasury of CONNORS- HALLORAN STORE s, INC. from those who buy shares of preferred stock, every dollar-less the con- servative, economical cost of distributing the stock will be immediately used in opening new stores.
 The new company is not seeking to secure money for any other purpose. Every dollar realized from the sale of preferred stock, please re- member, must be used to ex- pand the business of ''Jim" Connors and "Joe" Hallor- an, which Is already success ful in the four stores now owned by them.
 Crooked things cannot
 stand the light of news
 paper publicity.
 ":Jim" Connors, "Joe" Halloran and their associates expressed the wish that I help them with their public ity-writing a little booklet which details their plans but principally, to go to the people of Connecticut

About two years ago I met "Jim" Connors for the first time.
 A luncheon of clothing folks took place at the Penn sylvania Hotel, New York: to which I was invited and asked to talk to the boys.
 My talk dealt mainly with a retailers honesty in deal ing with the public selling good merchandise at fair prices, giving full service and building trade on the Golden Rule plan.
 Jim" sought me out after the luncheon and told me frankly that what I had said Represented his sentiments that he was trying his level best to build a business that would serve customers so well that they would always come back and boost.
 During this two-year peri cd, "Jim" has sent me from time to time a lot of interest ing facts about his business, and wanted me to know how pleased he was with the sup port the people of Connecti- cut were giving him in the four stores which he and "Joe" Halloran of New Bri- tain now operate-tWo in Bridgeport, one in New Bri- tain and one in Hartford. Our chance meeting of two years ago has developed between us a strong personal friendship. I believe 100 per cent. in 'FJim" and he says he believes 100 per cent. in me.
 About a month ago,
 "Jim" came to New
 York to talk over with
 me his plans and to
 seek my advice.
 "Jim" told me very frank 1y what he had in mind to do. I am glad to tell you that his first outline of the plans to organize a new company is not much differ ent from the plans finally adopted by him and "Joe" Halloran and their associ- ates, who now constitute CONNORS = HALLORAN STORES. INC.
 Tine only difference be- tween the original plan and the present one is that which affects the distribution of t h e com m on stock of CONNORS = HALLORAN STORES, INC.
 I made the suggestion to "Jm" that people who had sufficient confidence in him to invest in the preferred stock ($10 the share par) of the new company, should be taken into the business as partners, whereupon he i'm mediately said:
 "THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WANT TO DO, but I don't know how to do 1t. You tell me how we can do it. ''
 And I said:
 ''Everv man or woman who will buy five shares of your preferred stock (price $5O) or multiples thereof, should be given one share of common stock (par value $fO). This will distribute 10000 shares of common
