did better than that When was IS,
my wife Lucille and started saving part
of my first modest earnings as telephone
company employee. In three years we
had saved the down payment to buy
home. began looking about for way to
insure modest retirement income to sup
plement my telephone company pension
from "SerGfeI," TO $500, 4 900 by ~
Starting with only the $1,000 cash
equity in my home, pyramided this
modest asset into $500, 900 by the time I
was AZ = all in my spare time. This ex-
ceeded the lifetime savings of the presi-
dents of many telephone companies and
of many other businesses. There seemed
little point of my continuing to work on
salary. So retired at AZ to concentrate
on my investments - with considerable
time for gardening, swimming in our back
yard pool hunting, fishing, and travelling.
Many friends turned to me for advice
on how they could follow me up the road
to fortune. Finally decided to write
unique Ruidebook, in which would share
my money-making secrets with my friends
and anyone else who cared to use them.
But~editors who read my first manu-
script told me: "Ah, but your success de-
pended on starting during the depression.
It could never happen again!"

Now my book, How TURNED $1,000
INTO A MILLION, is ready at last. And in
it reveal = and tell how to use these
basic principles of travelling the last re-
naming road to great fortune still open
to the average person:
]. How 70 harness the secret force Of
free enterprise - the pyrumiding power
Of borrowed money. This is a concept
which may sound strange, and even a little
alarming, to the ordinary wage Garner.
But all it amounts to is that you are copy
ing the money-maxing technique of large
investors, including the banks themselves.
If you have ever experienced difficulty in
arranging personal loan Cor a CONNER
cial loan to 60 into business) you may
have the idea that banks won't lend
money to the "little fellow" for the pur-
pose of making money. But will show
you how you can get lenders to put up
gladly at least three dollars for every one
of yours, thereby quadrupling the earning
power of your capital.
2. How 20 choose ineome-prodUeing
multiple dwellings In which TO invest
your own tond your borrowed) capital.
If you are interested in investing in in
come-producing property for income
alone, then you will probably get along
all right without any advice from me, al
though even there / can give you many
tips. But if you are out to pyramid your
capital, there is definite set of conditions
you must look for In order to get the full
value out of my method of operation.
A.
A fair market value of an income-produc-
ing property is in ratio to its income - for
example, in dwelling with more units
than a duplex, the market price should
be equal to roughly 10 times the annual
net income Therefore, if you increase the
annual net by means of the steps outline,
you increase the market value of the
property thereby increasing your equity.
.. Now TO virtually sIimin0se the
"tox bite" on your eopisal growth. Be
cause of today's graduated income tax,
it is practically impossible to accumulate
wealth by savings from your pay, no mat
ter how successful you are. According to
recent survey by Dun 8 Bradstreet, most
corporation presidents with annual sala-
ries exceeding 100000 find it impossible
to accumulate an estate sufficient for COM
Portable retirement, and their chief worry
is sufficient savings for family security.
Think how much harder it is for those
earning fraction of this amount.
But there is at least one comparatively
tax-free road to fortune still open per-
haps the only one for the average person.
l will show you how you can increase your
net worth steadily without its being sub
ject to income taxes not even capital
gains tax! ]. K. Lasser's famous guide,
Your INCOME TAX, says of this method
that "the mathematics have almost I'M
paralleled attraction"
show you, in my book, exactly how
to put the above four principles to work,
starting in your spare time with only a
modest nest egg. If you have about $4,000

DERHAPs the hardest
L thing about making
a million dollars-or even
100000 - is the act of
believing it to be pos

Naturally, there are many ramiications
as you rise ever higher toward a million
dollars. How far you want to 60 up this
ladder depends on how much retirement
income you would like. You can con-
servafively expect to earn an average net
return of so on your personal equity.
Realty syndicates are able to take out a
stable bite for salaries and other heavy
expenses = and still virtually guarantee
go net return to individual investors who
devote no time or thought to their prof
ects. So, if you would be satisfied with a
retirement income of at least $l2,00 a
year, you might decide to stop when your
equity reaches 100000.
There Must Be a cufch 70 M"
Right now, it would be understandable
if you were sputtering, "But - but - it's
not that simple. 1t can't be that simple. 1t
never is! There must be a catch to It'll"
OF course there's a catch to it! There
are hundreds of catches" = hundreds of
pitfalls and traps for the unwary who have
never travelled what call the realty road
to riches" But made it, by learning as I
went along. And you have priceless ad-
vantage which never had-the advantage
of being able to know beforehand every
thing I had to learn by trial-and-error.
My 497-page book is literally the prod
uct of lifetime, into which have poured
every distilled ounce of practical knowl-
edge gained along the road to fortune.
1t answers all the questions on real estate
operations that my friends have ever
asked me. Most of the book is written
in narrative form, in which lead you
through one actual transaction after an
other, setting forth each step in detail.
But isn't it too late to make fortune?
That's what they told me when started,
during the depression. Don't forget, this
method of making money is not depend
ent on continued economic boom or in
flation. 1t is benefited and underwritten by
Americas continuing population boom,
which is expected to result in II million
more people by 1880.
But are there enough opportunities for

right now or if you can save only $50
a month for the next four years - you can
start out soundly along the road to mil
lion dollars. To enhance your progress you
will need an additional personal invest
ment of $50 a month, or 5000 year, for
two more years after that, making total
investment from your personal savings of
$1,000. But then you will start receiving
income from your investment. In addi-
fion, if you follow my instructions care
fully, your capital can grow at the follow
ing startling rate:
In2 years, your $1,000 grows to $500.
In 4 years, you have $11,575.

Estimated consolidated net income

Chairman of the Board Clyde E.
Weed stated that subject to audit and
adjustment, income amounted to
$34, $50, 900 or 1928 per share on the
1O,714,627 shares of capital stock
outstanding. This figure, as compared
to the $10,752,303 reported for the
same period of 1858, reflects higher
copper prices and substantial in
creases in deliveries. of copper and
copper fabricated products.
Demand for copper and copper
products during the first half of the
year increased considerably through
consumer purchases in anticipation
of a possible strike in the domestic
copper industry. The reduced demand
after the June 80 strike deadline
caused a drop in the domestic price
for copper from 81 " to 80 cents a

William Leaphart, counsel for pro-

hearings moved for dismissal of the
case late last week and suggested the
utility "should be thrown out of the
hearing ROOM, when, during cross
examination the Montana general
manager, K. P. Todd, said "the COM

Leaphart Immediately moved for a
dismissal of the present case and said
eff the company is here to appeal the
Commissions latest decision they are
out of order and should have gone on
the basis of an appeal" in the courts.
The motion to dismiss was denied
but not before commission counsel
James Robischon asked the company
"Do you believe that that decision
did not set a rate base because the
company did not accept it? If rate
base is only rate base when the
company accepts it 1 do not agree.
In 1858 the commission handed
down a decision that denied the tele-
phone company a requested rate in
crease. Hearings on that case were
held in 1857. DR.. Laurence Knappen
at that time for protestants.
The dismissal move came when

the company would show any

base on which the exhibit was based.

Youth Conservation
Bill Given Co-Aheud
In Senate, 47-45

Despite strong Eisenhower Ad-
ministration opposition the U. s.
Senate last week passed the pro-
posed Youth Conservation Commits
sion act (S 812), 47-45.
Modelled after the old Civilian
Conservation Corps Act of the
Roosevelt Administration, which
over period of nine years took
hundreds of thousands of jobless
boys off the streets and put them
to gainful activity, YCC, if en-
acte into law, would provide jobs
for $4,000 young men between the
ages of Is and FL the first year.
The second year the openings for
six-month bitches would be in
creased to 1000 The third and
following years, maximum enroll
ment would be 10000 a year.
YCC, by Sens. Humphrey, Muir
ray, Mansfield, and 1S other men,
bers of the Senate, is two-fold in
its aim: 1. To lessen juvenile de-
linquency by providing gainful en-
ployment for youth; 2. To aid and
assist the important work of natural
resource conservation, including re-
estation, afforestation,. forest di-
sease and fire control, watershed
protection, etc.
The proposal, endorsed by the
t,t
AFL-CIO, is also being actively sup
ported by such national groups as
Isaak Walton League, National
WiIdlife Federation, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, Wildlife Manage
ment Institute, the American Le-
gion. In addition it has the backing
of block of a dozen Governors,
both Democratic and Republican,
including Gov. Albert Rossellini Cd
Wash.). Gov. Mark Hatfield (R-
Ore.), Gov. Edmond Brown ID
CaIif.) and Gov. William G. STRAIT
ton (R-Ill.).
The Senate vote found As Demos
and two Republicans, Wiley and
Young, supporting the bill, and 81
Republicans and 13 Democrats op-
posing. All except two of the Demo
opponents were from the South.
Prior to the Eisenhower Admins
tration going in opposition to S 812,
a number of Republican Senators,
including Sherman Cooper of Ken
lucky, were strongly supporting the
measure.
