The ninth reason is fraud. which. he
adds. would be practically non-exist-

make it possible.
An individual with an embarrassed
imagination makes it wholly unnec-
essary," says Mr.. Rice, for fraud
ulent promoter to use fraud in SELL
ing stock in a worthless new inven-
ton or other scheme. The promoter
simply tells of the fortunes made by
well known inventions and indus
tries; the victims imagination does
the rest. He sees the spurious enter
prise achieving the same success. He
doesn't let memory or reason tell him
that the success of one company is
absolutely no assurance that some
other company will achieve success i'm

ton came from a laboratory that
specialiZes in turning out plausible
worthless inventions to be used as
basis for worthless stock hotations.
