A LOTTERY WITHOUT A WINNER By W. R. MOREHOUSE wr" Public Relations Commlaalon, American Banker* A»«oelat’on Crtlcre to ■retmlH DrreuXt* IKe /trat •/ a htWi of article! ttpolot >*« of tharpero who are after pour money ) ALMOST unbelievable amounts are lost to the American people annually front unwise ventures. This loss, estimated at n ® ar ” ly one billion dollars a year, is accounted for when you take in consideration that practically all of the mone ’• w-"-' “invested” in numerous fake schemes and - half-baked projects is forfeited by the investors. In presenting this series of articles ref garding sharp practices and various kinds ot swindles we hope to prevent thousands of peob pie from falling into the traps already set for them by irresponsible and unscrupulous pro ■ ' moters. * Through the use of only actual cases seB lected from several thousand, it is hoped to prove conclusively the futility of taking a “gambler’s chance” with your savings, for as ■ aEwa in a lottery without a winner you are bound to • lose. Much of the material here used has been supplied by the Better Business Bureaus throughout the United States which are non- * profit organizations serving the investor ■■■■■■■■■■ without charge and acting wholly in the wr. morehouse public interest. Read these cases and then file them"hway for future reference, for sooner or later you may find yourself on the verge of “taking a leap in the dark”, —of speculating with your savings as the people here told about were

inveigled into doing. < A “good front” has put over more crooked deals than any other one thing. Every Irresponsible promoter specializes in putting on a "good front" in his dealings with those whom he fleeces out of their savings. Whether or not he is successful Is due to a large degree on how good a front he is able to put on. In motion pictures, the sets, or “props” as they are called, supply the setting for the scenes. They are used to portray things that seem large, things that seem grand end beautiful. Peer behind those sets and what do you see there? You see that the attractive fronts are supported by braces / made ot the cheapest, knottiest and poorest timber imaginable. They serve their purpose in the world ot make-believe, but In real life you cannot afford to buy z•41 ■ ~ yr w if Tz® / w ' 'n A / I ■ I /

only good fronts. Your house must have real rooms behind it, your purchases and investments real values. In the field of wild-cat financing if you peer behind the "good front” which the promoter puts on you will find that it is supported only by deception, dishon esty' and fraud. Unscrupulous persons ot the "good front” type are expert actors in the role ot “big brother” to inexperienced investors with money at their com mand. Ae protector and advisor to the widow and the inexperienced, which they claim to be. they are in reality wolves in sheep’s clothing. Gaining the Victim's Confidence In personal appearance they are Impressive. As conversationalists they are convincing. As students of the traits of human nature they rate high. In short, they know how to stalk their prey successfully.

Industry, however, met a somewhat similar situation by lowering the cost of production. A similar solution can be successfully applied to agriculture The increasing ot production per worker on the farm is being met to a certain extent by using larger units of power, whether horse or mechanical. Where one man was using a single horse or team he is now using from 3 to 8 horses, thus increasing the ground covered from two to five times By the use of larger power units hired j labor can be reduced cr eliminated.

Satanic cunning they fall in line with their intended victim's likes and dislikes, his viewpoint and his bobby, and when they have gained his favor and trust they grow more and more confidential, presently taking a great interest in his welfare and happiness. Before long they are offering advice and pointing out how he can better his own interests by making a new disposition of his available cash or by selling hts present good securities and buying others recommended by them.

And finally, he may paint you sitting before this fire,* happy and contented —independent for . lite, as the result of an investmentl made according to his advice. But there is a great difference be-| tween what you get and what the I wild-cat promoter paints in the imag-1 ination of his victims. By the lure of j easy money he leads them over the precipice of financial ruin. Instead ot old-age ease and comfdrts there usually reeults poverty and privation. tell of a clever scheme practiced in man-j y are robbed ot their money ) have been the main obstructions to lower production costs. Larger power units are doing much to decrease labor factors. Also, larger power units 15 used over larger farm areas .can do much to lower the power percentage. Professor J. B.
