Show WHY INVEST BLINDLY? The public has been warned time and again not to buy stocks in companies about which it knows nothing. There is a large amount of -money ready for investment this fall; profit by the following story before spending it: A girl who had worked for years as a clerk in a store had saved $600. A smooth stock salesman met her and painted a glowing picture pic-ture showing profits she could make in his company, enough to make her independent for life. As a matter of fact, the company was not even operating. The girl was so overcome by the story, however, that she invested her entire $600 without making any inquiry as to the merit of the concern. Needless to say, she received no dividends and her capital was lost. Any banker would have gladly advised .her free of charge. |
