Brokers ire handing around among them selves for a laugh New York Curb Market Listing Bulletin No. 174. It Is a prize antique of the pre-de-presslon era. The current mirthful signifi cance lies In the mention therein of the name of Franklin D. Roosevelt as a di rector of the C o n soil dated Automatic Mer chandising Cor p o r a t ion. The r MALLON bulletin Is an ap plication for .listing the stock of that corporation. It Is dated August 8. 1928. Four pages cf hopes for profits are climaxed on page five of the bulletin by a detailed citation of expected earnings each year for ten years. For Instance, the bulletin shows that, this year, the company expected to earn $2,017,360 from penny weighing ma chines; 8850.000 from penny gum sales; 608.702 from postage stamp machines, and $15,300,000 from gen eral machine merchandising (candles, gum, etc.). Any Investor could pencil the total vp to a grand $18,776,262. which Is a lot of pennies and nickels. What roll the hard-hearted brok ers on the noor Is to read thla ac counting of unhatched pennlea in the light of the subsequent fate of the corporation. The proflta were not to be.
