FRAUDULENT FINANCIAL ADVERTISING

T:

HE Investment Bankers' Association of America has issued a statement to the public on 66 Fraudulent Financial Advertising." It ought to be read by every investor who is tempted to risk his money in enterprises advertised in "circusposter" manner.

We reprint from the pamphlet the following:

The reason that so many millions of dollars annually are sunk in worthless securities is that the sellers of such so-called investments make alluring promises of great profits to be derived from a few dollars. If deliberate misrepresentations and recklessly loose statements are eliminated from advertising and circular matter, getrich-quick operators will not be able to make their fraudulent schemes pay.

In investments one does not get something for nothing any more readily than in any other branch of merchandising. It is entiring misleading, therefore, to use statements which will lead investors to believe

this to be possible, such as the following taken from one piece of copy advertising a promotion that failed utterly :

"The best investment ever offered to the American public."

"Immense profits on small investments." "$1,000,000 a month profits." "You take no chance.'

"Golden Harvest."

Some of the other more dangerous bad practices which invariably mislead are the following:

Trading on reputation or earning power of another company, such as implying that a new automobile company will be as successful as the Ford Motor Company, or using a name which sounds similar to a wellknown trade name to imply that the wellknown person or corporation is interested in the new company.

Offering securities where the corporation has not a well-defined financial plan calculated to carry the company through poor times as well as good times.

Giving undue importance to the name of the banks acting as trustee or registrar, and implying thereby that these banks in any way are responsible for the securities. The fee for such services paid to banks or trust companies is very small, and the services do not insure safety of securities.

Offering to let people in on the ground floor.

Stating that securities are as safe as Government bonds.

The use, by a dealer concern, of a name which implies that it is a bank or trust company when it is not such.

Using the word guarantee as applying to the security when no guaranty exists.

Playing up subheads in copy on one subject-matter in such a way as to make it appear that the subhead emphasizes the security, such as a guaranty on a part of an automobile by a manufacturer as implying that the stock for sale is guaranteed by that manufacturer, etc.

The appeal to patriotism, except in the case of selling "Liberty" bonds.

Offering to give "Liberty " bonds away with so many shares of suspicious stock.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

Q. Will you kindly give me a list of six or eight good stocks and an equal number of bonds which you believe are now cheap and are bound to appreciate in value?

A. We dislike very much to recommend particular issues and at the same time make

a flat prediction that they will advance in market value. In times like these, no one can predict with any degree of certainty what is going to happen in the world, and especially what is going to happen to securities. We all know, of course, that one of the effects of the war has been to raise the rate of interest, and as interest rates go up prices of securities having a more or less fixed rate of return naturally decline. In other words, prices of securities adjust themselves in the market to the rate of interest. When 4 per cent is a normal interest for good longterm loans, high-grade 4 per cent bonds will sell around par. But when interest rates advance to 6 per cent, then 6 per cent bonds will sell around par, and 4 per cent bonds, naturally, will sell considerably below par.

If the war continues any considerable length of time (and there is no guarantee that it will not), there will be a further enormous destruction of capital, and increasing rates of interest will be paid by the belligerent Governments for new loans. The effect of this will be to depress the prices of ordinary corporation securities.

As we have repeatedly said in the Financial Department of The Outlook, we believe that the best investment for any American to make in these days is in the securities of his Government. One who has $1,000 to invest may now obtain through the purchase of Liberty Bonds $42.50 interest a year, and the second Liberty 4s have recently sold on a 41⁄2 per cent basis.

But it must not be forgotten that many private corporations and many private borrowers-farmers, for example-are engaged in supplying the Government with the materials it needs for the prosecution of the war. These companies and individuals when they are in need of new capital to expand their productive power certainly deserve to have the capital. It is in the National interest that a market be found for their securities. The Government at present, through the Capital Issues Committee, at Washington, passes upon all new applications for capital and approves all that are in the National interest.

Among the many high-grade bonds now selling at attractive prices are these:

PROFITS

From Investments Your investment profits depend on something more than the mere decision to buy stocks or bonds. Any broker can execute orders for securities when you so desire. But it is the knowledge of WHEN and HOW best to buy that makes investments profitable to you.

Mother: Keep a jar of Musterole handy

Goodness gracious! Everybody's coughing and how are we going to move that old congestion way inside? "A good old-fashioned mustard plaster" says somebody. Fine-if only it would not blister!

How about Musterole? The very thing! Give us that pure white ointment. Rub it in over the place. It won't blister. And can't you just feel how it gets down underneath the skin and penetrates?

Musterole is made of oil of mustard and other home simples. Just rub it on the skin. It goes down to the seat of the congestion. There it generates heat. But it is a peculiar nonblistering heat. That heat disperses the congestion.

But the most peculiar part of Musterole is that a few moments after you have applied it you feel nothing but a delighting sense of coolness. And relief is usually immediate.

Congestion and coughing usually go when that clean, pure, white ointment searches them out. Musterole comes in 30c and 60c jars -hospital size $2.50 at all druggists. The Musterole Co., Cleveland, Ohio

BY THE WAY

[ocr errors]

Contrasting the characteristics of different races, "Collier's" Russian correspondent says that an Englishman may sometimes rub you the wrong way, but if he asks you to go hunting with him in Africa and says that he will meet you six months from now in latitude 3° north, longitude 37° east, you can go right along getting your outfit ready. If, he says, General Hindenburg should tell you that you had broken Rule 772 and would be shot at sunrise, there would be no chance of escape because the commandant overslept or forgot it, or got a present of ten thousand rubles. But if a Russian says ten o'clock to-morrow morning, neither you nor he necessarily expects him to be there he merely approves in a general way of the ten-o'clock idea. This lack of sharp attention to time, of dependability as to detail, is, says the correspondent, one of the reasons why the Russians have failed in "the special and highly technical game of making war."

A Washington man, a Southern paper says, while motoring through Virginia, stopped one day at a toll bridge he had often passed over and found a new keeper in charge. "Where's the man who used to act as keeper here?" asked the motorist. "He's dead, sir," was the reply. "Dead? Poor fellow! Joined the great majority, eh?" "Well," said the new keeper, cautiously, "I wouldn't like to say that, sir. He was a good enough man as far as I know."

A list of plays which have had one thousand consecutive performances in England or America includes the following: "Our Boys," a comedy presented about thirtyfive years ago, which held the record for twenty years with 1,362 performances; "Charley's Aunt," 1,466 performances; "The Private Secretary," "A Chinese Honeymoon," "Peg o' My Heart," and "Romance," a popular play which is now running in London.

"The Zuloaga exhibition closed in the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on March 14, with a record-breaking attendance. The total paid admissions for the four weeks registered over ten thousand, which is twice the paid admissions registered by the exhibition when it was shown in New York City." So says an item in the "American Art News." The popula tion of San Francisco is placed at about 463,000, while that of New York is esti mated at over 5,600,000. The figures furnish food for thought.

A letter appealing for books for sailors, recently published in this column, contained the phrase "volunteer and drafted sailors." A naval officer writes in comment on this letter:

The writer of the letter must be misinformed, because there are no "drafted sailors in the service. There is nothing quite so odious to an enlisted man or officer in the regular Navy as to be called a drafted sailor. Every man in the regular Navy is a volunteer, and a willing one, too.

A foreign-born American citizen, one of the really patriotic variety, on being jok ingly called" only an immigrant," replied, according to the "Typographic Messenger:" "I have nothing to be ashamed of. I really have more right to be proud of my Americanism than you. You came this country naked, and I came here with my pants on. You came here because you couldn't help it. I came because I wanted to." This amusing retort reminds the "Messenger" of Booker Washington's similar

reply to a proposition to solve the Negro problem by sending our colored population to Africa: "We colored folks have a better right to stay here than anybody else except the Indians, and they have been driven out by the whites. We were highly thought of that we had our passage money paid. You can't say that of any other class of immigrants."

SO

"The law recognizes a distinction between the care due to a passenger on the train and that due to one who is merely on the platform waiting to get on. To the former the railroad company owes the highest degree of care, while to the latter it owes ordinary care not to injure him." This distinction, which it will be wise for travelers to keep in mind, was made in a recent case before the Indiana Appellate Court. In this case a passenger had sued for injuries received while attempting to board a moving train with a child in his arms, when his foot slipped through a defective step. If he had been on the train trying to get off, the case would have been different. But surely no one ought to try either experiment while holding a child in

his arms!

Are the children of the present day making anything that will be as charming and as lasting as the "samplers" made by the little girls of a century ago? In a recent sale of a collection of these curiosities in New York City many well-preserved specimens were shown. One of them began with four different styles of A B C, then went on:

The most elaborate, both in its needlework and its sentiment, ran as follows:

And while her fingers oer the canvas move
Engage her tender heart to seek thy love
With thy dear children let her have a part
And write thy name thyself upon her heart
When death shall close her peaceful eyes

Not every large business succeeds in developing a capable manager from its own staff of employees. An advertisement in a New York City daily shows that one of the largest grocery firms in the country must look outside for such a man. It reads in part: Comptroller.-Wanted, a competent office manager of sufficient experience to fill the position of comptroller of our business. . . . Salary to start $7,500 per annum. Address, in confidence, etc.

A protest of Norwegian shipping associations against German atrocities on the high seas is published in "Shipping." In part it reads:

To the German People:

On October 17, 1917, a convoy composed of thirteen unarmed ships, together with its escort of two English torpedo-boat destroyers, was destroyed in the North Sea by German cruisers. Without warning these neutral merchant vessels-and among them five were Norwegian-were shelled and wholly destroyed, no opportunity being given the crews to save themselves nor any attempt whatever being made to rescue them. Those seamen who were fortunate enough to get into lifeboats were themselves made the target for direct gunfire from the German cruisers and a large number were killed in this manner.

Our International
Playground

Why we must play. A vacation is more necessary in these war times than in any other. To play is the first instinct of man. It has always been necessary for development of physical, home and social life. If this be so in times of peace, when there are only ordinary cares and anxieties, how much more so today when we are working under such terrible anxiety and stress, and under such high pressure? It cannot be continued without a breakdown unless there is relaxation and diversion. Take a vacation in the great International Pacific Northwest, Oregon, Washington and British Columbia, amongst the snowcapped mountains, the trout and salmon rivers, the forty golf links, the fifteen thousand miles of motor roads, the thousand miles of coast line and inland seas.
