Show Dr. Hale on the Crash of 1893.. In 1834 Dr. Edward Everett Hale's novel of "The Fortunes of Rachel" was first published. The novel runs to the end of the century, and in the year 1900 Tom Poore at "Washington reviews the last 20 years of the nineteenth century. He says in this review: "The shares rose again steadily for five years, when I sold again. The crash of 1S93 came, and everybody ev-erybody supposed manufacturing was at an end. At the lowest depression I bought Stocking shares again. When the company wound up two years ago (in 1S98), the shares yielded $6,050, and here it is." We reprint the passage from the novel for the benefit of investors in "the crash of 1893." Boston Commonwealth. |
