BILL JONES NEEDS MORE INCOME

Winter is approaching and the
 children'S school expense will be
 higher this year than last. Bill
 looks forward to less income in the regular way. Many industries
 have shifted to the "zigzag" plan
 for their employees in an effort
 to help everyone thru the winter.
 This means that each employee Twill have about half as much in-
 come. Prices of clothing and food ihave come down some, but not in
 keeping with the "zigzag" income.
 There will be just as much coal to
 buy and rent to pay. Bill must
 buy and rent to pay. Bill must have more money than he can
 expect from his usual sources. 1 He has some money in the sav- ingS bank drawing 3 per cent in terest. While it is true that money was put there for a rainy day" 1t isn't bringing him any income worth mentioning; and $2O or $40 or even $100 of that wouldn't go very far on a rainy day. He needs more money coming in. Bill Jones is the average Amer jean. He knows that many a man in exactly his financial condition has invested part of his money and has made enough return to give him the added income he needed. But Bill knows there is some speculation with every in vestment, no matter what it is or how good 1t sounds.
 He doesn't know whether he should take any chances on either his savings account or his present income. Of course his savings ac- count is not absolutely safe; he realizes more money has been lost by depositors thru bank failures during the last 10 years than thru any single line of investment other than the stock market crash in 1929. Being a true American and realizing that nothing risked, nothing gained" he likes to take a chance. Bill is cautious fel- low and wants to speculate, but he doesn't want to lose his money. 1
 So he losses aside all the wild eyed" promises and impractical guarantees that flood the mails and seeks out chance to specu- late with the safety of a flowing l oil we'll to fall back on if the l we'll he bets on turns out to be dry. If the new we'll comes in | big, Bill should make a profit of 10 times his investment. If | he doesn't he still has his money where it should pay him dividends, over 3 period of years, twenty times larger than the. savings bank interest. And he has the speculative chance of making a real fortune if the new we'll comes in good. He wants to speculate with his fingers crossed, as it were, and that is exactly what he does when he accepts our spe- ,ial Pool offer, and shares in one gusher while we drill for another.
 Write us for full information, put better still-mail us $2O, $1O0, )r even $20O, and share in our next dividend If you are like Bill Jones, we might help you. D. M. Th0massOn & Co.,. Inc.
