said the outlay would be recovered
eventually by the sale of natural gas

being lost each year through the burn
ing of natural gas containing it and
predicted that present sources of sup
ply would be exhausted in a few years.

sold worthless stocks. and stocks in
companies that did not exist, but to,
have done flourishing swindling busi-'

trick. That method consists of unload.
ing worthless stock upon customer.
