Show WEALTH AND POWER COME FROM MINES The president of a large national bank was recently criticized for investments in a gold and copper mine. His reply as reported in a news item, is well worth reading. "Mines will be producing millions in gold, silver and copper in the future day When national banks are unknown," he said. "A mine contains a crop already raised, harvested and on deposit for you to check against at your pleasure. "The wealth gathered from the mines immortalized King Solomon. "Mining made Great Britian the world's commercial dictator. "Mining made the United States the richest country in the world. "Mining has scored less than 35 per cent of failures against 95 per cent of failures shown in the general mer-chandising mer-chandising business of the United States." To be criticized for intelligently investing money in mines is to be criticized for assisting the development of one of our greatest and necessary basic industries. |
