“Turn her in? Why should I? That
old Ford is as good as she ever was. Since I
switched to that new Zerolene ‘F’ for Fords
she runs like a clock and seems to have a
bit more power too.”
Zerolene “F” for Fords gets to all the bear­
ings requiring lubrication—especially the
wrist-pin bearings and the upper half of the
cylinder walls that are frequently oil-starved
when an unsuitable lubricant is used.
It deposits a minimum of carbon, and be­
cause it lubricates better, enables the engine
to develop a considerable margin of power
over and above what you’re accustomed to
expect from your Ford.
And it costs not more, but less than most
of the special Ford oils now on the market.
A Ford is an A-l transportation invest­
ment. Protect your investment by proper
lubrication.
STANDARD OIL COMPANY

If you were an engineer on a railroad you would not in­
tentionally pass safety signals set against you. To the experi­
enced investor there are similar signals for safeguarding his in­
vestments. Some of these signs of danger, issued by the Public
Service Committee of the State Bank Division, American
Bankers Association, in conjunction with the Better Business
Bureau, are briefly indicated here.
B ig R eturns —It is easy to promise
an abnormally high rate of dividend.!,
»r large inarkxt profits, to prospective
Investors. Heavy risks usually accom­
pany such lures. They are too often
the chief talking points of financial
charlatans.
P rominent N ames — Promoters
know that the names and endorse­
ments of successful men carry weight.
They are often used without authori­
sation. The prudent investor will look
beyond names and will investigate.
T he "G round F loor ”—An oppor­
tunity to “get in on the ground floor”
often turns out to be the same sort
of opportunity which the proverbial
spider extended to the fly.
I nside I nformation —"Inside tips”
are usually expensive pieces of misin­
formation. When used as “confiden­
tial information” to influence the
small investor they are generally of
spurious character.
T he F ictitious A dvance —Profes­
sional promoters often arbitrarily ad­
vance the prices of the shares they
sell as their campaigns gain headway
to create buying excitement and in­
duce new buyers to get in before the
next rise. Such price advances are
artificial, usually employed merely to
"speed up” the unloading of shares.
T he T eijjphone C anvass — Irre­
sponsible vendors find it easy to work
over the telephone to victimize incau­
tious investors. The cautious investor
will not enter into securities transac­
I tions by telephone unless he person­
ally knows with whom he is dealing.
I T he U nselfish P romote « — The
promoter who “gives his services” in
organizing a company or as an officer
•f it and advertises that he does so,
will bear watching.
T he I rresponsible G uarantee —Ir­
responsible sellers of securities often
"guarantee” certain profits, or even
that they will buy back shares when
the purchaser wants his money.
Promises of this nature are made to
create confidence and to lull suspicion.
They should indicate to the prospec­
tive purchaser a special need to in­
vestigate.
“R eorganization " and M erger —
Unsuccessful companies forced into
"reorganization” often call upon
stockholders for new funds. Response
to such appeals often means merely
throwing good money after bad. A
conspicuously fraudulent device has
been the “merger,” by which a new
company trading upon fresh pros­
pects and promises, takes over the
assets of an unsuccessful venture and
issues new stock for old, provided the
shareholder pays 25 per cent or so in
cash.

T he P artiai ^P atment P lan —This
helpful method of selling securities
has been much abused. Poop!» who
prefer to buy securities out of their
weekly or monthly earnings, are
sometimes victimized by vendors of
stocks which have little or no value.
All honest securities dealers unite in
warning the investor to buy on the
partial-payment plan only after mak­
ing sure of the financial responsibility
and standing of the firm with which
he does business.
T he A ppeal to P rejudice —A chief
stock in trade of the unreliable pro­
moter is misinformation which plays
upon the prejudices and emotions of
prospects. This style of promoter
points out supposed “evils” and "spe­
cial privileges” existing in the world
of “high finance.” He may urge that
his venture is a poor man's proposi­
tion, free from the “large underwrit­
ing profits which the big fellows get.”
Usually such sellers endeavor to
throw suspicion on others to divert it
from themselves.
F alse S ense of S ecurity —“Real
estate—the safest security on earth,”
is the type of slogan under which at
times unscrupulous operators en­
deavor to unload property on persons
who want to make an investment, but
not a poor speculation. Experienced
opinion, supported by impartially-
gathered facts, forms the only basis
upon which to buy real estate, espe­
cially when you cannot see it before
you buy.
M ining F allacies — Many mining
ventures are honest but fail because
the promoters are unable to finance
the proposition through to a success­
ful conclusion. Many other mining
promotions are not good prospects al­
though they may be represented as
such. If a small investor wishes to
buy mining stocks he enn do so by
purchasing securities of established
mining companies with records of
substantial earnings and of dividends
regularly paid to stockholders.
O il R isks —To almcMt every one
come opportunities to speculate in oil
schemes. Very often such offerings
are misrepresented. Usually they are
sheer speculations, all the risks being
taken with the stockholders’ money,
while the promoters pay themselves
handsomely through stock sales, com­
missions, salaries or "organisation ex­
penses.” The investor who desires to
buy mining or oil securities should get
facts and -experienced opinion ax to
issues of established, successful oil
companies. Even the • legitimate min­
ing or oil business is s)>eculative and
depends for profits upon a sound com­
bination of properties, organisation,
finances and management
I nvention D elusions —The gener­
al public too often believes that large
profits are to be gained through pat
ented processes or devices. Inven­
tions are a fascinating means for
separating inexperienced investors
from their savings. Even when prac­
tical from a marketing and manufac
taring standpoint patents are usualh
only moderately valuable. The smai:
investor cannot afford to take an “In
vention Chance” with his funds.
