CHANCE FOR A PARTNERSHIP.
Every ambitious person wants to
have at least a partnership Interest
In a profitable, or potentially profit
able business. Did it ever occur to
you that It is mainly to satisfy this
desire that the Block market exists'
Wage earners and salaried em-
liloyea compose the majority of the
business public. Most of these luck
capital or opportunity to go into
business for themBolves, but are nop
lng that some time and some how
their circumstances will permit them
to do so.
The trouble Is that circumstances
raroly develop acocrding to one'B
wishes If he simply waits for mew.
The fortunate thing, on the other
hand, is that waiting is unnecessary.
(Even though the amount of one b sav
ings be very moderate, the means 1b
at hand to become a Duslnoss part
ner. It Is because stock ownership
represents partnership that the units
into which stock is divided are canea
"shares."
A stockholder participates, as docs
the partner in any business, in the
risks as well as the profits of tho
enterprise. In the selection of the
stock to be purchased, one snould
use much the same care, therefore,
as he would if considering going into
business for himself. An Increasing
number of large concerns, such as the
United States Steel Corporation, are
diving their employes the opportun
ity to uecome puruiurs in uio uuni
ne8s through the purchase of shares.
The sucoeas of this plan emphasizes
how well Investment of such charac
ter meets the needs and . desires of
persons of small means.
It is safo to predict that the an
nouncement of the signing of the con
tracts for ninety-two American trans
ports uiu uul uiiiiK uh; liuiii,uilb ul

Russia Is a great quitter. Once It
