If you had invested $4,000
in an acroSs-the- board list of
stocks in 1850, the value of
your neStegg would have Swelled
to at least $4,000 by now.
Even if you had indiScrim-
inately bought a share or two
of each stock in a familiar
market average, you would have
been a gamer in the past dec
.ade of general business boom,
and rising stock prices. Your
profits would have kept you far
ahead of the decline in the
dollars buying power.
If you had put the $4,000
in a typical one-family house
or piece of farm land, the value
of your investment would have
swelled to at least $4,000
$4,000 by now.
Bonds Decline
But if you had put your
money in a marketable Gov
ernment bond-say the 21a per
cent United States bonds sold
during the war loan drive of
1912 and due to mature in 1867
the value of your nestegg
would have shrunk to around
$4,000 as of this day.
Your conservation would have
made you a major loser. Your
nestegg would be smaller and
the buying power of the dollars
in the nestegg would be smaller.
The 212 per cent interest you
would have collected each
year would have been cut by
the tax you owed on it and
wouldn't have come near off =
setting the drop in the dollar S
value.
What are the odds this per-
formance of the 1950s will be
repeated in the decade of the
l960s? Very slim, very slim
indeed.
This assumes a general rise
in stock prices. History en-
phasizes the long-term trend

In answer to your inquiry

cotton batting. This is very
inexpensive and readily avail
able at large department
stores.

portable quilting hoop, which
looks like an outsiZed en-

it to quilt on your lap. The

May I suggest that perhaps
the best container for ster-
ling silver is a lined silver
chest, in which is kept a
lump Of gum camphor.
I have used the silver leaf,
and found it a good cleanser,
but cleaning of silver can be
kept at a minimum if the
silver is washed in quite hot
soapy water, rinsed immedi-
ately in clear hot water and
wiped at once. For best re-
suits, NEVER allow the silver
to stand in water.
