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 Samimi O. Flice, Educational Director Investment Bankers Association of America)

One of the frequently-used yard sticks in measuring the accumulating ability of America before the war was tin* fact that 11 million persons had 5 billion dollars in savings accounts. That was considered quite sizable, but it was soon put in shadow when 21 million persons brought forward 24 billion dollars in five Liberty bond drives and by the fact that savings accounts kept right on growing. Now more than 30 million persons in this country have savings accounts, which approximate 17 billion dollars. Many liberty bonds have gon< from the hands of small holders to be replaced by bucketshop receipts, doubtful or worthless stocks or faint memories. But the source of all this wealth still remains, greater than ever before. Wages have increased and the wealth in the hands of the average man and woman is groatci than ever before In America. That is why bucketshops and frauds are so persistent. It is the richest field sot fraud in the world. That is also the reason why every possible dollar should be kept in active production of more wealth. Americans demand more of the expanding comforts of life. To meet that demand for better homes, automobiles and other necessities and luxuries, the production of wealth must be increased, and capital must be supplied, if the distribution of wealth is to be increased by industry and commerce.

Parsons, well known for his writings on business topics, recently told the members of the Michigan Gas Association that "death and eternity are the only things in the future more certain than the coming of the gas age." He said: "Before many years have passed, fuel consumers in great cities, getting all of their heat units through pipes, will look back in horror to the day when raw coal was burned, and the people submitted to the evils of smoke, ashes, unnecessary waste and needless labor. In this coming time, citizens will regard the clumsy methods of folks a generation ago, when water was supplied for each household from a well in the backyard instead of from a central reservoir, with pipes leading to all the homes in the community. It will be as easy in the future to turn on the gas in the cellar furnace as it is now to turn on the water in the bathtub.

of the opportunity and need for capital In legitimate enterprises today. Louis M. runs the neighborhood grocery in an outlying district in Chicago. When the after-war depression struck Louis M. had 11,000 saved from the profits of his one-man grocery store. Louis M. wished to expand his business, but was a bit afraid during the hard times. A young bond salesman accidentally heard of Louis M. and his |l,ooo. He sold Louis M. a good bond. Money rates were high so Louis got the bond at a very attractive level. He was lucky, too. He had bought of a reputable Investment bank. He might almost as readily have bought a worthless piece of paper from a salesman who promised 10 per cent, 20 per cent, or any extravagant return that might seem good sales talk. When the depression passed Louis sold his bond at an Increased price and expanded his little store. His increased business has enabled him to make the first payment on a little home. Louis M. is on the road to financial independence. But be might still be a long ways from that desirable road if the right kind of securities dealer had not happened to call on him, for Louis M. is like so many thousands of other Amercans who do not know that before you invest you should investigate, not the security itself, but the integrity and the capability of the man or the firm that sells it.
