In securities" Kurtz Kellam. repre-
sentative of Stern Brothers & Com
pany of Kansas City, stated in Topeka
today. Mr.. Kellam has offices at 31S
New England building.
ts>tThere is great satisfaction in be-
longing to that most beneficial and
comforting fraternity The Independ-
ent Order of Coupon Clippers" Mr..
Kellam states. 4t
! IN support of his arguments Mr..
KelIam produces a recent booklet is
sued by Stern Brothers & Company
entitled Building an. Income Fund.-
1t tsdescribes in detail and in an under
fstandable manner the urgency of saw
ing and investing. It explains how
the average mans efforts to become
financially independent are -haphaZard,
how he usually speculates with his
savings during the period his earnings
ares on the rise and does not seek
safety in his investments until the de-
cline in his earnings. 1t tells of the
average mans attempts to make a
fortune over night. in his earlier days,
with speculative stocks and partic1pa-
ton in more on less profitable busI-
ness ventures.
For instance, it is pointed out. a
man of 25 years of age wishes to have
an income at the age of so of about
$575 a month. In order to do this
he must accumulate within 35 years
s115.000.- To inyest $500 every six
months, or $4,000 annually. he. there
fore, purchases a s50ozbond (averag-
ing per cent interest), within each
six months period. His coupons must
be reinvested as soon as they are rer
ceived in bonds of small denomina-
tions averaging 6sper cent yield. That
process repeated steadily thru the
working of compound interest will
amount to more than $115,ooo at the
age of so. If he had invested his
money in the usual way, spending
the interest, he would have only $685.
700 instead OF $4,000 at the age of
so, and his income, instead of amount
ing to nearly $1,000 a year, would
have been only ~$2,100.
This plan is worked out under diff
ferent amounts. A man investing
500 every six months from the age
of 25 to IS, with interest reinvested.
has $4,000 at the end oof the period,
or enough to yield a monthly income
of $115.
