All honest securities dealers unite In
warning the investor to buy on the
partial-payment plan only after max
ing sure of the financial responsibility
and standing of the firm with which
he does business.
THE APPEAL TO PREJUDICE-A chief
stock in trade of the unreliable pro-
moter is misinformation which plays
upon the prejudices and emotions OF
prospects This style of promoter
points out supposed evils" and "spe-
cial privileges" existing in the world
of "high finance" He may urge that
his venture is a poor mans PROPOSE
ton, free from the large underwrit-
ing profits which the big fellows get"
Usually such sellers endeavor to
throw suspicion on others to divert 1t
from themselves.
FALSE SENSE OF SECURITY-"Real
estate-the safest security on earth,
is the type of slogan under which at
times INSCRIPTIONS operators en-
deavor to unload property on persons
who want to make an investment, but
not poor speculation. Experienced
opinion, supported by impartially-
gathered facts, forms the only basis
upon which to buy real estate, espe-
cially when you cannot see it before
you buy.
MINING PALACES - Many mining
ventures are honest but fail because
the promoters are unable to finance
the proposition through to success
full conclusion. Many other mining
promotions are not good prospects al
though they may be represented as
such. If a small investor wishes to
buy mining stocks he can do so by
purchasing securities OF established
mining companies with records of
substantial earnings and of dividends
regularly paid to stockholders.
OIL RISKS To almost every one
come opportunities 70 speculate in oil
schemes. Very often such offerings
are msrepresented. Usually they are
sheer speculations, all the risks being
taken with the stockholders money,
while the promoters pay themselves
handsomely through stock sales, COM
missions, salaries or Organization ex-
penses." The investor who desires to
buy mining or oil securities should get
facts and experienced opinion as TO
issues of established. successful oil
companies. Even the legitimate min
ing or oil business is speculative and
depends for profits upon sound COM
bination of properties. organization,
finances and management
INVENTION DELUsIoNs-The gener-
al public too often believes that large
profits are to be gained through pat
ented processes or devices. Inven-
tions are a fascinating means for
separating inexperienced investors
from their savings. Even when prac-
teal from a marketing and manufac-
turing standpoint, patents are usually
only moderately valuable. The small
investor cannot afford to take an In
vention Chance" with his funds

LAMBERTVILLE
Fire Patrol Ambu-
lance In A ccident
John Behan and Phineas Thorne
Receive Injuries

Lambertville-Mrs Mary Bulger
was taken to st. Francis Hospital,
Trenton, in the Fire Patrol Am
bulance, last Friday and when the
ambulance returned it skidded on
the wet pavement on the River
Road near Moore's Station. The
treacherous pavement threw the car
against Telegraph pole, badly
damaging the front end of it.
Mr.. Behan, who was driving, sus-
tanned a bad cut in the center of
his forehead, and Mr.. Thorne receiv-
ed cuts on his left arm. Both were
treated at the office of DR.. L. C.
Williams, and they were able to
go to their homes.
The ambulance was taken to
Readings Garage with bent front
axle, springs torn loose, frame
twisted, headlights and windshield
broken and both front tenders bent.
Repairs are to be FASTENED to put
the car back into use as there
has been an increasing demand for
it lately.
The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1925-08-06

BIG RETURNS-It is easy to promise
an abnormally high rate of dividends,
or large market profits, to prospective
investors. Heavy risks usually accom-
pany such lures They are too often
the chief talking points of financial
charlatans.
PROMINENT NAMES - Promoters
know that the names and endorse
ments of successful men carry weight.
They are often used without authori-
cation. The prudent investor will look
beyond names and will investigate.
THE "GRoUND FLooR"-An oppor-
tunity to get in on the ground floor"
often turns out to be the same sort
of opportunity which the proverbial
spider extended to the fly.
INSIDE INFoRMATIoN-"Insi tips"
are usually expensive pieces of misin-
formation. When used as "confdcn-
tial information" to, influence the
small investor they are generally Of
spurious character.
THE FICTITIOUS ADvANcE-Profes-
sional promoters often arbitrarily adj
vance the prices of the shares they
sell as their campaigns gain Roadway
to create buying excitement and in
duce new buyers to get in before the
next rise. Such price advances are
artificial, usually employed merely to
speed up" the unloading of shares.
THE TELEPHONE CANVASS = IRE
sponsible vendors find it easy to work
over the telephone to victimize incau-
tious investors. The cautious investor
will not enter into securities transac-
tions by telephone unless he person.
ally knows with whom he is dealing.
THE UNsELFIsH PROMOTER - The
promoter who "gives his services in
organizing company or as an officer
of it and advertises that he does SO,
will bear watching.
THE IRRESPONSIBLE GUARANTEE-1r-
responsible sellers of securities often
guarantee" certain profits, or even
that they will buy back shares when
the purchaser wants his money.
Promises of this nature are made to
-reate confidence and to lull suspicion.
They should indicate to the prospec-
tive purchaser special need to in
vestigate.
"REoRGANI AND MERGER -
Unsuccessful companies forced into
Reorganization often call upon
stockholders for new funds. Response
to such appeals often means merely
throwing good money after bad. A
conspicuously fraudulent device has
been the merger" by which a new
company trading upon fresh pros
poets and promises, takes over the
assets of an unsuccessful venture and
issues new stock for old, provided the
shareholder pays 25 per cent or so in
cash.
THE PARTIAL P PAYMENT plaintiffs
helpful method of selling securities
has been much abused People who
prefer to buy securities out Of their
weekly or monthly earnings, are
sometimes vietimized by vendors of
stocks which have little or no value.

Activities of City Commissioners


The account of proceedings of
Lambertville City Commission last
week was very much mixed up.
Counsellor Hervey S. Moore, of
Trenton, appeared in the interest
of John T. Wilkins to secure passage
of ordinance permitting him to
transfer the Trenton-Lambertv
Bus line to a corporation.
No application was received for
franchise for the Trenton-E aston
Bus line. There has been much ru-
NOR concerning the same but no
official information, probably there
will be none until questions are
settled by the Public Service Com
mission.
The Penna r. R. did not present
any application to vacate the Coryell
st. bridge or put in switch to the
Wallace Mill, but since the meet
ing proposition has been talked
about to do away with the Coryell
st. bridge for vehicular traffic and
replace it by foot bridge, and also
put in switch crossing Coryell
st. and running to the Wallace Mill
and it is expected that a Map and
Profile of the proposed changes will
be submitted but nothing definite
has been received as yet.
The Penna. r. r. also submitted
proposition to replace the Waterman
at Coryell st. bridge by a flash
light signal and also agreed to i'm
prove the condition of street cross
ings at Coryell and Bridge SITS.
and put in a new surface on the
Bridge st. bridge.
At the meeting on Monday even
ing of this week, bills were re-
eeived for the completed street inn
provement and were generally salts
factory and 90 per cent of the
amount ordered paid.
There were some minor questions
with regard to charges to be settled
and it was understood that maca-
dam road on Delevan st. between
Main and Franklin was not salts
factory and the contractors agreed
to put on new surface and roll the
same.
The completed work including all
extras will not exceed the estimate
by more than $1,000.
The streets are to be cleaned up
at once and it is found to be very
difficult job to provide drainage
which is the secret of good roads.
For many years property owners
have been permitted to put in curbs
and cutters to suit themselves with
out any systematic plan and now
the only thing to do is to make the
best of a bad situation.

enjoy the home cooking Of which they
are so fond? Take away the element

put carefully thought-out menus well
planned and easily prepared, and home
dinners will again regain their high
favor with the working housewife.

not keep dozen cans OF evaporated
