perience to undertake TO make invest
ments OF their money without guild
ance by those who know. Many com
panies are constantly being organized
to promote unsound schemes, referred
TO as wildcat" There are always
solicitors ready to relieve people OF
their savings by the promise OF big
returns. The lure of great wealth is
always a temptation by which thou
sands Of thrifty people are deprived
OF hard-earned savings every year
Widows and orphans who have IN
herited money are frequently sought
and made the targets Of these fake
stock statesmen. Misery and suffering
are the usual results.
Greed Defeats Safety
Many people with small means also
lose money because they insist on
high rate OF interest on their invest
ments. Safety of principal should be
considered above large returns in In
terest or dividends. Small investors
should never buy highrate, specula'
tive investments, in which there Is
great risk, but should stick to those
which pay fair rate and which are
known to be safe.
To know whether an investment is
worth buying the investor should go
to a banker or a successful business
man in whom he has confidence, get
his opinion and act in accordance with
It. In all probability this will mean
the difference between successful in,
vestment and total loss of his money
The banker deals with investments
every day and desires to give all the
help and information he can, and the
business man has learned by expert
ence the need OF caution and careful
Judgment. They believe one should
have clear understanding of an in,
vestment before 1t is purchased. They
know the need for avoiding stock pro
motion schemes and get-rich-quick
propositions which in many cases
have brought poverty and suffering.
While many states have passed laws
aimed to protect the public against
promoters Of fake investments, thou
sands Of people annually fall victims
to their wiles, because they fail to
seek advice Of those experienced In
making Investments.
Good advice and temperate e1pee.
tations mark the only road to safe
investment and an assured income
There Is no other certain way.

GROWING RECOGNITION
OF ADVERTlSIMG'S USE
e

Advertising first established its place
as an economic factor as sales aid,
but as understanding and use Of 1t
have increased, Its possibilities in 9th
er fields have developed until today
we find 1t employed in many forms
of service hitherto unthought Of. Ad-
vertising has long been hampered in
its use by precedent, tradition, con-
ventions, and prejudices, which, IN
der analysis and experience, find lit
tie to warrant their existence. Gradu-
ally the falsity of their claims Is be-
ing proved.
We were told for many years that
It was undignihed for a bank or fdu
ciary institution to advertise, and this
edict, born OF some superstition OF the
past, was accepted without question:
until finally 1t was intelligently chal.
lenged and it was discovered under
analysis that there was no sufficient
reason for its support. The inevitable
conclusion Of logic is that, whatever
is of genuine use to human beings
whether It be goods or services, can
with truth and dignity, be advertised
and sold, and that 1t is just as proper
to merchandise forms of service as
various kinds OF commodities.
In the logical development OF this
new understanding OF the power CT
advertising during the last decade,
we have seen many OF our banking
fduciary and investment institutions
actively employing the sales value of
advertising in the marketing Of their
services. In this intelligent use Of
publicity they are not only increasing
their own immediate business return,
but they are also helping to spread a
better understanding OF financial serv.
ice and economic fact and theory up
on which solid business relations can
be built.-Francls II. Sisson, Journal

HOW A RIP-ROARING
RADICAL WAS tanned
BY JOHN LAKEWOOD

The best story of the tanning Of a
radical have ever read is told by A.
b. Farquhar in HIS book "The First
Million the Hardest" 1t throws more
light on the meaning of capitalism
and the futility of socialism than IL
brary full OF books on sociology, eco
monies and politics. Here 1t is as
Farduhar tells 1t:
1.-THE best antidote for acute eco
nomic insanity is ownership Of prop
ertys My favorite example Is Otto
Steinlnger. He was one of my first
employees and was rip-roaring an
archlst. He insisted that all wealth
came from the workers and therefore
should so back 10 the workers. He
was particularly bitter against his
landlord and hardly week went by
that he did not announce that he had
definitely decided that he would like
to shoot the landlord the next time
he came around for the. rent. Finally
| asked him smilingly after one Of
these outbursts;
Buy, Don't Shoot
T'Why don't you buy your own
house instead of shooting your land
lordf Then you would not have to
pay any rent. If you do shoot him you
may get into trouble
FFIe did not think much of the idea
apparently but In a day or two he
asked me how he could buy the house
l answered: That house can be
bought for $500. You are getting good
wages. Twill buy that house for you,
take 81 a week out OF your wages,
and In less than four years You will
have It paid for
HE went of again. The next time
he came back 1t was with his wife.
He said: We are going to buy that
house but since we have no children
you can take $40 instead Of 81 week
out of my pay envelope
Il bought the house and then Otto's
chief concern was to get 1t paid for,
which he did in a little more than a
year. There was another house next
door to him. In short while aft
he had paid for his first house. he
sided up to me and said:
eel can buy that house next door
for a thousand dollars. Now that we
have no rent to pay we are going
along good. What would you think
about me buying thstT

In the business sense, the word In
vestment relates to the use OF money
in acquiring ownership Of property.
Ownership may represent entire pos
session OF property as OF a home;
partial ownership as holding stock In
a corporation; or conditional owner
ship as In the case OF buying a mort
gage or a bond. When person makes
an investment in bonds, he is really
Ioaning his money TO the government
or corporation issuing them. He will
receive the interest which they earn
as long as he owns them. or until
they are paid of.
Ownership of great corporations Is
vested in individuals who have invest
ed money In their stock or bonds.
Many people regard the ownership OF
the United States Steel Corporation,
for example. as differing from the
ownership OF. say, small workshop.
Yet investors in shares OF Steel Cor
poration stock are entitled to the same
rights, under the law, as the owner OF
the workshop. In the corporation. the
owners hold certificates OF stock as
evidence of their investment, whereas
the owner OF the little workshop holds
q deed as title to his land.
capItaIlstlo Laws Protect investors
Because the laws stand for the
equal protection of all investors. It Is
possible and profitable to make good
investments 1t gives an incentive to
work hard and to invest. The person
who wishes to invest must first work
and accumulate funds with which to
do so.
Bonds are always secured by mort
cages on the lands, buildings or other
property OF the corporation for which
the money has been used. When
bond natures the money must be re-
paid to the owner OF the bond.
All investors are part OF great
financial system which gathers up and
puts to work the wealth OF the coun-
try for the mutual benefit, prosperity,
and well,being OF all In America, 1t is
possible for any one who is willing to
pay the price OF self-denial and hard
work. to be an investor. Good invest
ments made In early life by saving
such small sums as may be possible,
lay the foundation for providing the
comforts OF later years, when II Is
harder to earn livelihood and when
poverty often becomes the condition
Of those who have not practlced
thrift in youth.
1t is not wise for those without ex-
