THE BUSINESS OF GETTING

Investments for Individual Needs.

To the uninitiated it would appear
that the investment needs of all two
legged mammals are precisely the
same. Before careful analysis of the
problem, one might assume that Sc
curjtfes are either good or bad, SOUND
or unsound, and that the bonds OF

for the race track man. the club Wonl-
an. the scientific bridge player, the
widow dependent upon the income
from securities and the prosperous
man Of business. However, in the IN
yestment world what lis sauce for the
goose may not necessarily be sauce
for the gander.
A successful business man may, let
MS assume, place funds in an expert
mental concern which seems destined
to produce no dividends for five years,
but which later Is likely TO yield prof

a scheme for taking the frylngpan siZs

hancement in the real worth of his
venturesome capital. Tn the midst of
the developmentai process the business
man dies. His main source Of income

Having to raise two young children,
his widow must live economically on
the income from investments made up
out Of the life insurance fund which
her husband has provided.

"One type is the general practitioner
type. which diagnoses the disease, pre-

advisers, like DR.. Zimmerman in
