Cut Down Financial Lotset Each year millions of dollars are lost through unwise speculation and investment. “Get-rich-quick” stocks are sold with promises of fabulous earnings and appreciation. The “en thusiastic” promoters of such ventures rarely have a dollar of their own in vested. Even first mortgage bonds, thought of by many as being assur ance enough, are subject to the same hazards of over-enthusiasm and mis management . Most of these lost millions could be saved if, before purchase of any se curity, a well informed bank or reput able finance house were consulted. Get all the advice possible from na tionally known financial experts and it will then be found that probably the safest general rule is to confine purchases to securities listed on the solidly established stock and bond ex changes of our larger cities and thru the advice and guidance of member broken which in itself is assurance that the security has been given the careful analysis of experts before it is offered the public thru exchange listing.
