The Fairy Tale Wins.

Such lists of stockholders are being

of whom makes the appeal that. having
found one radio investment worth while.
!. follows that another ought 10 be tried.
This promoter then offers a preorgan-
ization opportunity to buy 81 shares "
rs cents with the suggestion that when
the stock has been listed on the New
York Curb Market, wild market trad
ing" is anticipated with jump In price
to at least So share. The man who
is promoting this stock has been under
indictment in connection with OIL
Patents Of every description are be-
ing exploited Another promoter, who
regrets that until patents have been ap-
piled for ne cannot reveal the nature
of his invention, offers stock in an as
founding contraption for use both with
radio and Photographs, the same being
indestructible and capable of reproduc-
ing the human voice indefinitely. He
confides also that some radio companies
are making profits of $4,000 a month
on $4,000 investments. He offers his
stock to selected few" at SIS share
under the threat that If they wait until
October they will miss the chance OF a
lifetime and Ii will cost $40 share
The same run of hokum Is being used
by all OF nearly score of concerns Each
outfit varies the line Of chatter from the
main idea only in so far as 1t happens to
spring from the particular idiosyncrasies
of the promoter but all with the GER
tainty that Barnum was right and that
the majority of persons to whom he
referred would still rather turn over the
savings OF years of hard work to the
teller of fairy tale than spend day
investigating the truth of his yarn.

The Reverse Picture.

The foregoing outlines the situation as
It exists to-day. The facts are In al
most every instance the exact reverse
OF the picture painted by large num-
Der of radio stock selling concerns.
The man back of these stock selling
schemes has been behind half dozen
OF the biggest oil stock selling schemes
In the country. and one other operating
a radio stock outfit also has had fairly
wide experience in oil stock.
There isn't any reason why an inves-
tor should not buy stock in a reputable
going radio equipment manufa curing
company If his judgment is that the
field is good. The question then arises.
How is he to know when he is dealing
with fake outfit?
The only thing that can be done is to
investigate. There are some fairly def
picion at once.
First. beware OF the fellow you never
saw or heard of before who calls or
telephones TO let you in on A good
thing That is the favorite trick of
the seller of phoney stocks.
Beware OF the high sounding ''litera-
ture" that sets forth a scintillating his
tory or the fortunes that have been
made out of railroads and telephones
and winds up with the suggestion that
radio. being in its infancy. is about to
repeat those fortunes for those WHO buy
the particular stock he has to sell.
There is abroad one such booklet-a
really formidable volume-with pictures
a foot square of factories which the
casual reader. OF the pamphlet would
conclude are the places where that com
pany manufactures its product
AS a matter OF fact. that company
neither owns nor controls the plants
whose pictures 1t publishes. nor does It
manufacture radio equipments or any
thing else. Nor does the booklet say
that tine company owns the plants. but
the conclusion, without investigation,
would be that IL does.
This same concern does not stop pre-
dieting the use OF radio in the place OF
telephone wires. but abolishes motion

The New York herald. [volume] (New York, N.Y.) 1920-1924, 1922-09-12

There has been in the last year
tremendous increase in the use OF radio
equipment coincidental with the in
creased popular utility of wireless. par
ticularly in the matter of education
and entertainment. 1t is this popular
use of and interest in radio that forms
the basis for the stock selling schemes
now current, with the additional sug-
gestion that radio is on the verge of
supplanting the present wired tele-
phone system OF communication.
There does not appear any doubt
that the use of radio equipment will
continue to grow, but any imme-
date or distant prospect Of wireless
telephones taking the place generally
of the present medium is regarded by
scientists as extremely slim.
Moreover, inquiries among manufac-
rurers and merchants of radio equip
ment show that while the present de-
nand is good there is no particular
shortage of supplies.

DUCKS PLENTIFUL
In TEXAS LAKES

LUBBOCK. Texas Omitted Press).
If a duck occupies two square
feet of space. how many ducks will
il take to completely hide the water
in a lake 800 yards wide by $50
yards long?
On one mornings drive 20 lakes
can be found in the South Plains
section around this town that will
have from 1000 to $4,000 ducks
upon it. When these flocks leave
the water. they drench you as with
heavy summer shower with the
water that falls from their feathers
and make a roar that can be heard
half mile.
The lakes are surrounded for two
miles with an absolute level plain
and without a blind it is practically
impossible to get shot at the
ducks.
Geese. the great white-breasted
ones that stand up 40 TO as inches
and look like flock Of sheep cross
ing a field. can be turned best with
a long range rife. One good fat
goose provides meat for a party Of
ten.
