A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT

to pile up $12 1000, 200, 900 in new
wealth each year is sufficient
proof Of the opportunities for
financial progress that are held
out to the individual in this
country.
Where there is such opportunity
for legitimate advancement, it is
all the more deplorable that so
many of our people should seek
advancement through methods
that result in loss and disaster.
The situation is due partly to
ignorance and illiteracy, partly to
the gambling instinct of many,
and partly because of the abnor-
NAL desires of thousands Of our
citizens to get rich in a hurry.
No one should lose sight Of the
fact that a billion dollars a year
flowing through illegal channels
means that legitimate business
has been deprived of that much
money and that heavy burden is
placed on the public through i'm
paired business activities and
added costs of living.
The rightful earning capacity of
money has it's limitations, and
when representations are made
otherwise 1t should be borne in
mind that such representations
either are willful efforts to de-
fraud or spring from business
principles as unsound as the
shifting sands of the sea.

In 1880 an inventor produced
some rubber cloth, but it melted

cracked in winter. Goodyear, in
the room at the rear Of his hard.

rubber. It Is said that he acct.

and rubber on a hot kitchen stove
and accomplished, by chance,
what his experiments had failed
to do-to weld or vulcanize rub
