"The alluring 'book value' ot the stock which Mr. Holmes aimed to ex change was the hook upon which he attempted to catch investors. In a circular letter, sent broadcast to banks, Mr. Holmes offered 21 shares of stock 'hook value of $;;4S6, for ?:iuuo In Liberty bonds of any issue. Figuring on the basis of an annual ten por cent return on the stock and four per cent on Liberty 4onds, Mr. Holmes declared tho holder of 21 shares of the stock would receive $G0 more a year than the holder of in Liberty bonds. "Ono important thing Mr. Holmes failed to stato was that on the clos ing day of his offer, 21 shares of tho stock ho mentioned above were worth, including brokerage, $2354. 6J on tho New York stock exchange, whllo tho amount of Liberty bonds for which ho proposed to trade this number of shares of stock could have been sold for not less than $2830."
