F.. r. Henderson, the dynamic first
president of the new Rubber Exchange
of New York, the only. exclusively
rubber futures market iii the world.
told me that the country Is under
equipped with rubber brokers and
dealers. AS a result automobile man
ufacturers reluctantly buy 70 per cent
OF their rubber supply through for
eign agents.
Much Business Lost
This business said Mr. Hender-
son, a tall vigorous looking blonde,
with handsome blue eyes. (which now
goes to London and other foreign
cepters. would in large measure flow
to New York. IL the facilities were
available here. In our own concern,

men and money in the field of rubber
brokerage, which offers extraordinary
opportunities to ambitious young

An oversupply OF tires during the
Summer months. resulting from
rainy weather. which interfered with
motoring, depressed crude rubber
prices Mr.. Henderson Is OF the
opinion that the recession has run
its course. He expressed the view
that the country would see higher
rubber prices in October, because he
believes the tire surplus will be en-
tirely worked off by that time and
also that the English government
under the Stevenson plan will order
another 20 per cent decrease in pro
duction in its rubber-growing colonies.

THE BUSINESS OF
GETTING AHEAD
How to Select an Honest Broker.


I know of no great fortunes that
have been built up on cynicism.
Faith is an essential element in all
financial transactions.
There are many crooked brokers in
every financial district. but the wise
investor picks his broker or banker
carefully and then reposes confidence
in him. Needless to say, it is of the
utmose Importance to select an agent
of probity and financial responsibility,
The bucketeer who swindles custom
ers instead Of serving them can turn
Liberty bond purchase into as un-
profitable a transaction as the buying
Of worthless blue sky" stocks.
A reputable broker is a definite
asset for the investor. He not only
executes orders quickly and at low
fee. but also supplements this service
with advice and information regard
ing securities.
IT is no easy matter for the lay
man to separate the sheep from the
goats In the financial world. Ex-
duisite mahogany furniture and ex-
travagant rugs are devices frequent
ly employed by the unworthy to i'm
press strangers with their solidity.
Appearances constitute a poor guide
TO reliability Good advice would
be: Never buy or sell securities
through strange broker without
making an independent check on his
integrity.
If an individual lacks the special
lied capacity for judging the stand.
ing OF a broker he perhaps would
do well to buy his securities directly
through a bank, which. in turn. acts
through a broker. Most banks, as
a matter of service. will arrange to
help their customers judge a brokers 8
standing. The larger institutions
have card indexes of the morals and
methods of a wide array of brokers
and have a ledger record OF their
vices and virtues. Moreover, through
suhscriutfons to services which keep
tabs on brokers', the banks are able
to supplement their own information
The smalled banks are able TO draw
upon the information of the larger
ones.
Fly-by Nights Known.
Fly by nights who have their
offices under their hats, are known
to the guardians of reputable stock
exchanges and are denied admission
TO the organized market places. The
New York Stock Exchange has no
monopoly OF virtue and some OF It's
members have offended. Dut meIhueT-
ship in that exchange is presump-
ton in favor of a broker because
the rules of that organization are
designed to protect the public Mem
bership in the principal out'of-town
exchanges is a good sign also.
Some of the larger reputable bond
houses do not belong to the ex-
change because they do no STOCK
business. Their aloofness Is in no
sense a reflection on their integrity.
MANY of such unaffiliated houses,
however. belong to the Investment
Bankers Association of America, an
organization which Is very jealous
of it's good name and which sedu'
lousy seeks to exclude from meTnoeF-
ship crooks and charlatans
The advertising columns OF well
managed newspapers constitute an
other potential guide TO trustworthy
brokerage houses.

Cards Will Be Sent Through
out Land at Christmas.
BY j. e. ROXLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, October lit is going
to cost the American public more than
55,000.0oo to say Merry Christmas"
to each other this year and the people
who will make II possible for them TO
do so are already preparing for the
task
More than 100000 900 Christmas
cards will be bought, mailed and re-
ceived before December 20. One con-
cern in Philadelphia alone Is now
working on single order for 10000
600 cards. The price of the greeting
missives will range from 81 and SS a
piece to and 10 cents. An industry
which started as a side line has now
become an all-year-round employer OF
labor. The American producers will
wind up their season November ! for
this year and will Immediately start
booking orders and turning out cards
for 1927.
Many Expensive Cards.
The chain stores naturally are the
big purchasers, but the volume Of ex-
pensive cards produced is enormous,
Much of the business in the more
expensive products goes to France
and England, since the finer work can
be done for less money in those coun-
tries. However. the United States
benefits to a considerable extent from
the tariff charges on such foreign
products.
The growth Of the habit of exchang-
ing greetings at Christmas time has
been heavy and steady. Over $50, ,000,-
900 will be spent in the next few
months on the cheaper cards. This
does not take into consideration the
personal greetings ordered engraved
or printed by hundreds of thousands
of Americans
Providers of these cards have ex-
perimented widely in the sentiments
and greetings expressed thereon. the
brightest wits and cleverest brains of
the country have been employed to
devise new and original greetings,
but when the past seasons have been
reckoned up it has been found that
these new and original sentiments
have been ignored and the simple
Merry Christmas" expressions of the
past have prevailed In the demand
from the public.
POinsettia Vogue Passing.
For some years the poinsettia. with
its vivid red coloring, was favored
decoration, but the vogue for this
style has now almost passed Holly,
with its green leaves and red berries.
is the standby, and the old English
scenes which seem irrevocably con-
nected with Yuletide continue in ire.
mendous demand.
The habit of sending Christmas
greetings through cards has spread
far beyond private correspondence.
Both Protestant and Catholic churches
have adopted II as means of keeping
their congregations in touch with
each other, their church and their
pastor.
