MAJOR ANGAS--
THE MAN WHO
CHARTS FUTURE
Articles by Finance Worlds
Man of Hour to Appear
in The Times.

Boom. ne brings the good news
that the depression IS just about
over.
The importance Of Major Angas'
CHEEKY announcement lies IN the
importance Of Major Angas He is
the man who virtually has been
always right IN his daring forecasts
Of coming events in the fields Of
business. finance and industry.
Now only Al. people began asking
who he was eight years ago. For six
months before it happened, he pub
lshed a little pamphlet entitled,
The Coming Collapse in Rubber. "
Nobody paid much attention to it
because nobody then knew much
about the major
Anyhow, British investors felt at
that time that British control of
rubber was invulnerable and they
were not interested in this prophet
Of disaster. But when rubber sud
denly started on its long slide from
S1O4 a pound 10 3 cents a pound.
they began TO remember the little
pamphlet by Major AngaS.
How did he know what appar-
emily nobody else knew?
System Gained Attention
The answer was that ne did it all
by scientific calculations in a series
Of charts he had invented. A scien-
tific observer OF financial trends. he
had his own system of charting the
future course Of events and in the
case Of rubber ne called the turn
so accurately that his system gained
attention.
But after the furry Of attention
that this prophecy attracted. the
name of Angas disappeared for a
time. Reserved in manner and diff
icult to approach. he was not a
man to catch popular fancy.
Friends Of his recalled, however,
that in 1923. three years before his
rubber prophecy, he had published
a brochure on Germany and Her
Debts" that had fOretold in detail
the coming collapse Of European
currencies.
He was right. but this first fore
cast hardly created a ripple. 1t
seemed too easy to be right when
everything was going wrong.
But in 1881. the gloomy young
prophet came forward with word
of cheer. He published The Com
ing Rise in Gold Shares" And on
top of it came the big British gold
boom. He published The Course Of
the Coming English Boom" and
events proved that he had accur-
ately Charted the whole course Of
British recovery.
Since then. the averages of
British stocks have risen so per
cent. Then came The Coming
Rise in Wall Street" published in
April. 1888. Four months later. the
Dow-JOnes Index of American In
dustrials rose 80 per cent.
Three successive bullSeyeS, all
forecasting recovery when the world
was still in filters. established his
reputation firmly.
Times to Publish Articles
Now The Indianapolis Times is
privileged to give first newspaper
publication to his latest prophecy
The Coming American Boom" "
It Will be a series of ten articles.
The first one will appear next Mon
day
In these articles, Major AngaS
gives a clear. terse. comprehensive
analysis of Just why he is convinced
a boom is coming. These impartially
reasoned articles give a real basis
for hope of a swift upturn in Amer
lean business that will have its eff
feet upon everybody in the country.
They are articles to be read and
digested carefully if you are inter-
ested in knowing what's going to
happen.
Major Angas Is cOckSure in his
predictions. He never hodges. He
lust happens to be sure that he's
RIGHT and then goes ahead and lets
other people know-fOr their own
GOOD. Prior to writing The Coming
American -oOm.' he has had all OF
his works printed privately at his
own expense. If people did not have
sufficient curiosity to read them,
that was their hard luck. They
might have found leadership that
meant the difference to them be-
tween triumph and disaster.
But in spite of his public aloof-
ness. Major Angas Is known TO IN
Inmates as a charming and thought
ful host. An American friend IN
london recently reported that when
Anras took him to luncheon. the
check was more than three pounds.
