Show INSOI EXPECTS Sll II Sliitl! Financier Predicts Unprece- dented Prosperity for Metal Producers, j -Thomas W. Lawsou. the Boston fman-i fman-i cier. pred'ets a. crcat boom in silver i stocks. In a recent editorial on the future fu-ture of the white metal he says: "There is but one class of stocks which have not advanced to dZT.y heights, which are. in fact, en the bottom, and the men is of which a re so great that they should have gone way up in price silver stocks. " In a nutshell, here is the story of silver: "At a dollar ru ounce for the metah good silver m ir.es make large profits. Years ago. when all good silver mines were prosperous, silver metal, owing to world-wide conditions, slumped to less than 50 cents an ounce and the good silver mines all over the country busted, .shut down, and many them were flooded. Since then good silver mines have been a dime, to be had at bankrupt prices. The other day world condit ions changed and the metal went flying to SI. 13 an ounce and is still booming and must continue to boom while the present inflated prosperity endures. A good s'lver mine today is a nugget of nuggets, but it takes large capital to put a silver mine in producing shape and mining brains to select the good from the fake, and mining and financial standing and connections and stock market knowledge to shape them up marketwise. "Silver will be the pet gamble of the stock market. "There will' be more money made, with less risk, in silver than in -any class 'of stor-k ever traded in. "There will be a larger number cf people peo-ple make money in silver than in any other class of stocks since stocks began. "There will be more money saved by I selling old stocks. that have already ' risen, to take profits, than has ever I been saved by any public advice given by anyone." |
