BUREAU DOUBTS

METHODS
Better Business Leaders Take
Steps to Check Flood of
Literature

Steps to break up an alleged
stock sale Of large proportions
which has been launched in Wash
ington were instituted today by the
Better Business Bureau.
The bureau has learned that an
effort Is being made to flood Wash.
ington with stock which Is re-
garded as highly speculative at q
figure far above the legitimate mar.
ket price.
The stock Of the Marconi Wire
less Telegraph Co., Ltd, is being
placed on the market here at $12
a share.
Recent quotations received by
the New York market Of unlisted
securities as to Marconi Wireless
Telegraph Co., Ltd, show that this
stock is quoted at this time at SO
bid and So asked" the bureau an.
nounced.
This information has been ob.
tained because e certain security
salesman Is offering the stock as
speculative enterprise at $12 a
share, which Is above the market
price.
Sales letters from his office
have flooded Washington, reading
in part; Would you gamble $12 to
make 1852"
Recipients Of this and similar
letters should remember the warn.
ing OF the Better Business Bureau
Before you Invest, investigate "
A number Of local business men
who have received literature from
the local statesmen handling the
Marconi stock have turned tho
papers over to the bureau with the
request that they make an in.
vestigation.
One Of the letters referred to the
bureau makes the following claims
for the stock:
During the war the British Gov
eminent Communicated the Marconi
Wireless Telegraph Co, Ltd. 1t is
said that the British government
owes the English Marconi Co. from
100 to ITO million pounds sterling
and that the excheQuer is going to
pay from s to 10 million pounds
sterling on account. This will re-
suit in dividends Of from $50 to
$13 on each share, which should
put the price Of the shares at from
800 to $3.50 per share.
by acting Immediately you can
buy these shares at $12 each. If
you would make as good use of
every $12 you spent you would soon
be Independently wealthy.

When this news spreads the shares
are bound to go up fast; don't wait

this opportunity catch you asleep.
Take advantage Of It,"
The Better Business Bureau has
