RADIO PROGRESS

Recent published statements show that activi-
ty in amateur radio work and broadcasting in the
United States is greater than in any other nation
IN the world Why shouldn't it be?
Under the stimulating hand of private initia-
tive and enterprise this country has the greatest
telephone system, the most widespread use of
electricity and gas in the house. in the factory and
on the farm, the greatest transportation system,
both electric and steam and why should it not lead
in radio, the latest great convenience for man
kind?
Give radio chance for development unre-
strlcted by useless or unnecessary regulation and
it will make United States dominant in future air
communication.

Germans Rusv and
Saving Money

1t is dangerous to spend money reck-
lessiy or Iavishly in Germany, ana
profiteers who made fortunes during
she collapse of the paper mark ride in
automobiles only at the risk of being
stoned by resentful public, accord
ing TO Fred W. Gehle, vice president
Of the Mechanics and Metals National
bank, New York, who has returned
from trip abroad. An automobile
Is rarity in most parts Of Germany,
he said.
Business men who really need au-

ing that they ore used not as Injuries,
but for strictly business purposes.
They do this to avoid the danger Of
drawing Kisses and not infre,, entity
stones from passers-by.'
The change in Germany yer Tie last
year was described by Mr. Gehle as
one of the economic mira cles recorded
in history. One year ago, lie said,
German residents spent money rs
they could do so for fear that its value
would drop still further overnight.
To-day it is altogether different" he
said. "The country has stabilized it's
currency. Prices are high, wages are
low, everybody seems to be working,
and, strangely, the people are again
saving money"

The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1924-05-09

Leave this to me, said WHY'S
shortly, and swung out the door.
That night John n. WHY'S sat in
the Grand Hotel and had vision of
seeing everything that his labor
had created go trucking away. 1t
was dismal, forcboding picture.
Then he leaped to his feet and ac-
costed the clerk.
Fred he said, flashing his
check book, Il want $3.50 cash.
The clerk laughed. Il wish you
luck"
"What?'
Il said wish you luck
whats the matter? This check
is good
Certainly. But don't you know
this town is on scrip? That cash
money is as hard to get as--mush-
rooms in the poorh ouse?
But ] have got to have it.
Sorry. In the first place, l haven't
that much cash in the till. And in
the second, / doubt if the receipts
here and at the bar will give US that
much before Monday morning"
Did WHY'S swallow hard and stink
back to his chair, crushed? He did
not.
Raisin" $3.50
He called the proprietor over and
to both he explained why he wanted
$3.50 why he needed S35O-why he
simply had to have $3.50. He pic
tured his own prospective loss. He
described what the failure of Over
land would mean to Indianapolis.
He touched on the feelings of the
workmen when confronted by worth
less checks that they had cashed.
With all the earncstness he could
command, he sold those two hard
boiled hotel men on the urgency of
his request, and he refused to stop
selling until they had been won over.
Get the money for him, Fred"
said the proprietor. "Dont cash
any more checks, and tell the same
to the barkccper.
Then WHY'S went up to bed-not
to sleep.
Late the next night the clerk
counted cash huge stack of greasy
tattered one dollars bills, Il few dog
cared fives and tens, and hatful
of currency; but it was $3.50. Early
Monday. morning WHY'S strobe over
to bank and deposited the money to
the company credit after an argu-
ment as TO his right to make such Il
deposit And the checks were met.
Capital Crying Need
With that hurdle out of the way,
WHY'S had other and more gricvOus
problems to meet if Overland were to
remain solvent He rushed up to
Chicago and frantically cashed
checks. For five or six weeks his
daily existence was hunt for cash,
combined with cajoling purveyors in
to supplying a few more parts to
finish "a few more cars and keep the
sheriff from hamme1ing his notice
on the door.
The crying need was capital;
money to satisfy impatient creditors
for their long overdue $4,000, to
provide additional materials, anG to
meet the meager payroll. WHY'S set
out, to raise it. .Shrewdly, he stayed
away from the bankers. No sane
banker would have advanced a dime
to the. company in its precarious con-
dition.

d deposit of $4,000 which was one
fifth of the capital he had put into
the American Motor Sales Company,
and practically all the cash he could
scrape together. But he had faith
faith in himself and in the industry
in which he had so long been, Il
dominant and brilliant figure.
BUSINESS DOOMED
In the early months Of 1907 the
business of the American Motor
Sales Company doomed merrily
along. It's youthful head felt the
ever-constant urge of expansion. He
went to indianapolis and contracted
to distribute the Marion car along
with his other lines. At peace with
the world and satisfied with the
stroke of good work the day had
seen executed, WHY'S boarded train
to return east. He opened the news
paper and with sinking sensation
read that the Knickbocker Trust Co.
had closed it's doors and that New
York financial circles were in a
furore The panic of 1907 had begun.
"What can | do ?" he thought. eff
Overland goes to the wall with my
$4,000 and no car delivered, IN
through.
He decided to sit tight. And the
tighter he sat, the blackcr things
became. With sample cars long
overdue, hej hurried out to Indian
kc N U
(thc irony of IT'D. He started Sat
urday afternoon at the Overland
factory. There he encountered
what may charitably be described
as mess-the force gone home
and the parts for less than three
cars i'm the plant. And he with $lO,-
600 deposited as an evidence of good
had long since been sold!
On that day 25 cars were sched-
uIed for delivery to Elmira.
Where demanded WHY'S, "are
my cars?
I'm sorry" replied the man
agcr, YEARLY, but We cant get
them out.
Cant get them out? Why not?'
Were going into the hands of "a
receiver Monday morning.
You are not! snapped WHY'S
promptly.
ooh, yes, we are was the logged
reply.
What the troublc?'
Money. Parry (the angel of the
company can't supply any more.
His traction interests ar@ not pay
ing any profits, with nobody riding
the cars. We paid off the foreman
and workmen with checks, and
there won't be any money in the
bank when they come through Mons
day morning.
Needed $3.50 in Cash
WHY'S looked at the manager
sharply with those keen eyes Of his.
There was short silence. That,
he said, was damned cowardly
thing to do. Here your workmen
are, going to the grocery, getting
food for next week. and asking the
grocer to cash these. checks. The
balance they spend. And Monday
your checks come back to these
workmen, marked no funds. 1t is
a nasty mess. How much are
you short ?"
