How Can The Average Man Get Ahead True Stories Os Wage Earners And Salaried Men And Women Who Have Found The Road to Financial Independence (By Samuel O. Rice, Educational Director Investment Bankers Association of America)

'n an automobile repair shop of .1 large nationally-known corporation is a young mechanic who without financial training or much of an education combines admirably sound speculation and safe investments. He owns a little stock in the good company that employs him and is buying more That is sound si>eculation and com mendable. It isn't an investment, or always the bond holders and other reditors come before stockholders and in event of drastic business depression a sound well-managed busin ess may cease paying dividends foi a while, although they pay interest on their bonds regularly. But this mechanic sees daily how well bis department is run. He knowhow the company treats its employe and some sense of its policies trick les down from the main office. He doesn't know absolutely that this bus iness is profitable. He Is not competent to judge that; few men are competent to correctly estimate the worth of any big business or the value ot its securities. But the mechanic knows his experience with the companyq indicates that it is a fair, practically business. And so he bought

its stock. This stock happens to the quite ae tlve on the stock exchange, a fact that has led bucketshops to try to interest small investors in it, with the purpose of "switching” them to some worthless stock late ron. Had the mechanic been employed in some oth er shop and known nothing of this company, except by hearsay, and bad a smooth bncketshop operator sold him the same stock he now holds he would not have been speculating in the true sense of the word. He would have been gambling. He would Ita/e been buying from a person about whom he knew nothing, a security about which he knew nothing. That is not speculating. It is gambling. Securities should be bought only from an establishment, reputable broker, or bond dealer, who knows and will tell th etruth about them. This mechanic considers his home an investment. It may decrease o, increase in value and thus become speculative, but in the satisfaction and confidence it gives him and his wife, he figures that it is an invest ment. It pays interest in contei.l- - and in saving rent.
