Fifteen Hundred Per Cent
BY ELWOOD LLOYD

The American people have a ca
pacity TO absorb about S375,000,O00
Of new securities per month over and
above refunding issues, according to
recent issue of Moody's Investors
Service bulletin.
Judging from the letters received
from our readers, asking information
concerning offerings made them by
stock statesmen, it would almost APP
pear as though the same number of
plans were Matched each month to
take money away from unsuspecting
persons.
A letter received in yesterdays mail
tells of an offering wherein the sales
man promises earnings of 1900 per
cent in 10 years, and the reader asks
that we advise whether the offering
be a safe investment.
1t is almost out of date to use the
old familiar horse as a simile, but
when the earning power Of the dollar
is under discussion there is none other
which quite so well serves to illus
trate. We all know that n horse
will carry a light load easily at good
speed-that il can carry a medium
load safely at a slow rate for long
time-and that heavy load will soon
break down the best of horses.
Interest on the dollar is just the
same as the load on the back of the
horse-load the horse too heavily and
it is certain to play out-and dead
horses never carry a load at all. Dead
horses are of mighty little value. Even
live plug that can't carry q 100
pound weight faster than four miles
an hour is better than a dead horse.
The following simple rules have been
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1925-08-14

suggested by investment bankers of
wide experience as an acid test for
investors:
/. Never permit a salesman to rush
you into buying by the argument that
the securities will be sold overnight.
.. Take the literature and the
salesman's statements TO your invest
ment banker for analysis and inyes-
tigation.
3. Confine your investment trans
actions TO investment houses and bank
ers of established reputation and
responsibility.
4. Do not deal with total strangers.
3. If your commercial or invest
ment bankers recommendation is TO
let the securities alone, do so.
These rules are fundamentally
sound excepting for one thing: Tne
average banker will hesitate to con-
denim q promotion out Of hand, with
out making a thorough investigation,
and Investigations of a complete ma
ture require time. So another rule may
be added which will give a fairly. ac-
curate idea of the value Of stock
which may be offered TO the investor.
Find out from banker, any com
mercial banker, how much money the
bank will loan on the stock, with
only the stock as collateral. II the in
vestment be a safe and sound one its
safencss and soundness will be re-
Elected in the value placed upon it as
security for a loan by the banker,
If banker says that a stock is abso-
lutely worthless as collateral for a
loan, then it is a poor investment for
the person of small or moderate means
The temerity of some stock sales
men is beyond measure. This week
one Of the brazen type paid me a
call, saying he did not wish to sell
any stock, but merely wished to tell
me about his proposition.
After a glowing recital Of the pos
sible wealth hidden in an investment
in his stock the salesman said, "YOu
get good many inquiries from PEG
pie with money to invest. If you viii
give me a note of introduction TO these
people we can both make some money
Then he handed me a pad of spe
cially printed introduction cards, al
ready for the insertion of the names
of those who write us, and a place
for my signature. Everything made
very handy for the betrayal of trust
which our readers place in us.
There are so many opportunities
/ for good investments and there is M
necessity to be stung by the faker
Just remember, a dollar will carr!
only a safe interest load. And Onc'
again-before you invest, investigate
