the georgetown herald wednesday evening may 1 5th 1940 the georgetown herald ncwi of owm nerrel qleai winjams ll stewarttowa balubaftrf ana tocfa ootta auto a year united states single copies 3c advertising rates will be quoted on application staff garfield l moolhray leslie clark reginald broomhead walter o behhn jmbllaher phone no a the editors corner news from ottawa with a local touch mr hughes cleaver mp for haltoh county will in the near fu ure provide our readers with a column of news straight from our capital city we have asked mr cjeaver to do this and lie la kindly cooperat ing tlhe column will not be politically biased that is not the idea it is rather an effort to give your elected representative a chance to tell his constituents what he is doing for them as well as to comment on the broader phases of government business we feel that- one of the great difficulties in our present govern mental setup is that once a man is elected the majorty of his constltu ents hear and see little of him until election time once more comes around with this weekly column you will be able to see how this man spends hi time and how he earns that 4 000 a year that we the people are paying watch for our new ottawa letter appearing soon in the herald the tragedy of war calamity which does jiot strike into the personal life of an in dividual is usually viewed in the abstract it is when this calamity touches ourselves our relatives or our friends that the tragedy of such calamity is realised this past wee x met a friend in toronto a young dutch pipri who has been in this country since last june he comes from a wealthy family his father is head of a largt banking house over there their home is in the hague which has been bombed by the germans two frantic cablegrams brought back no answer to this anxious son ironically my friend had received a letter from home a few days before oermany invaded holland saying that all was well and there was no immediate danger of invasion good citizens you wth find the story of a they are strong supporters of and believe in spending their in another section of the herald family which we consi good citizens our town they make their living here money in the town which gives them livelihood not only do they buy from the local merchants but they believe in splitting their business as much as possible among the various merchants can jou other citizens say the same our apology corner in the rush of printing two extra pages last week and trying to get the papers in the evening mail which we dldnl our proof reading was hardly of gradea calibre three glaring errors appear tor which the editor accepts full re sponsibility these are 1 mr george leslie served torty seven years as township treasurer rather than lie forty two with which we credited to him a in the letter to bhe editor it was mr lambert- mrs dr paul and mr wrtgglesworth who were in chargl of arrangements for the music festival 3 the motion appointing norman thompson as treasure of the township of esqueslng was moved by councillors may and cleave witch youre gettisffbooke in the investment business by stuart m horton ba tthls article is prepared by a young man who works for a well known to ronto investment arm mclcod young weir co in the course of business he meets many people who have bean fleeced- by just such a scheme as he describes perhaps you too have bumped up against such a man as mr x if you have youll appreciate this article if you haven t take it to heart it might save you a lot of money who does it the option is usually taken by some group of men or some small unheard of company who for certain consider attons milch may consist of even a controlling interest half the shares which wiu carry one vote each will undertake to market thej option as thejp see fit the option will be taken on very narrow margin possibly 10 or even less with payments due perl odlcally jo hold the margin and bind the option if it is a small company it will be something like x ac co in this there will probably be only mr x or perhaps mr x and a silent part ner who- is a smooth high pressure salesman they will be advertised as stocks and bonds we are listed as investment securities but the shady boys seem to be always advertised as stocks- and bonds the and com pany after the name signifies nothing as anybody can start a business and call themselves and company the word limited is actaohed it will signify a corporation or limited part nershlp or some sort of incorporation when ot course signifies more stability to incorporate costs considerable and no small flyby night outfit would be able or willing to put up the money even if their petition was approved by the ontario or dominion companies registrar where operations are done selling usually is done a consider able distance from the office of the company a toronto outfit would prob ably wore the south western penin aula while a windsor outfit would probably work out towards belleville kingston area the excuse for uus distance is al ways smooth and well formed 1 windsor firm is well known in south em ontario but is pioneering eastern ontario to establish connections there to gle tliem breadth of market for their rapidly expanding business thus although the could casllj sell this ismk at home where they are well known they want to distribute this on artlcularly good lssue in the eastern district so as to establish their con nectloru there ytouve beaftl of old man 8o-aad- aot 2 although there are thousands of dollars of money tiryng to get at the issue in windsor they have left the city with it to distribute in eastern ontario in an effort to prevent the windsor big moneyed interests from buying up control in it and freeilng out their dearlybeloved clients who for the most part represent a widely diversified cross section of small hold thoy are anxious to get away from bhe big money because for too long the big fellows have been get ting everything their own way and the trnall investor hasnt had a chance they have thus taken the plight of their poop- oppressed smallholding clients to heart and have gone to the trouble at great expense and little pro of smuggling a hot up across the province to them 4 although the head office may be in windsor where mr x the presl dent now makes his headquarters he as an old resident of some com munlty about 15 miles from you a town which you know very well but dont happen to know the people well enough to say whether mr 3t family lived there once or not any way as a result mr x always has a soft spot in his heart for osh kosh county and whenever he gets a good issue he always brings it back among his mends where he is well known to sell it how they start or how you finish you never can quite remember how you got to know this particular man so well so quickly you c af ter it is all over that he must have been pretty smooth and he was i he generally approaches you and gains your confidence and interest by tell lng you of his pleasant business re lations with someone whom you know about 15 miles away this is general someone whom you don t know personally but have often heard of he makc3 sure you don t know them too well by sounding you out first the conversation may go on like this you of course are well acquainted with old dr so andso in belleville you stammer that you dont know him personally at all but have heard that he is quite wealthy from then on it may go like this yts and every cent he ever made va through dealing with us you had always wondered how he made his money that everyone talks about and your curiosity is tmmedl ately aroused you think that jou must be getting in on a good racket at last another approach ma be made al mllnriy by telling you of his in the community you stammer the ideal answer yes heard of him but dont know him partkjularty well seems like a queer old duck he c yes queer in many ways but a shrewd investor hes probably one of he wealthiest men around here i personally made him over 3 000 00 just last month every human being likes to gossip you never knew old soend so had money you re awfully curious and wast to talk to this new friend more and get all the news you never stop to think that all he knows about old so and so is just what he overheard about him in a local garage when he was getting a tire fixed but he a safel he knows you dont know him well he caught you off guard and sounded you out well he also has the advantage because be can tie you in knots make a fool out of you make you like it hes smarter than you or tie wouldn c get alongat this racket hes smarter than the he would have been locked up long ago no matter what approach he uses he manages to impress you as being the most likeable man you have ever met he flatters you just enough to bring you out he laughs at your jokes even if they are at his expense he can always tell a better joke than you but appears to think that yours are the best that he has ever heard he listens with interest to your gos sip and stories he may be only pick lng up names for his next killing he takes a great interest in your occupa tlon and prefers to talk about it in preference to any other you like this because this is the talk you en joy most yourself if youre a farmer he was almost invariably born on a farm he takes a great interest in your difficulties and will quickly get your son who is out of work a job in the cty he knows big men well judges senators bank presidents etc you might find out he has some thing to sell but he at first doesnt seem particularly anxious to sell he may not even suggest your buying un ul he has called on you several times youre used to the fuller brush men etc so this new salesman makes you curious he uses different methods he doesn t drive you over the cliff he simply makes you so curious tha you get off balance trying to peer over tt will then be easy for him to slip up behind you and push you over any rate he has something which he mil only let his best friends in on he must become our friend befort jou can qualify also when he gets to knon you better be will iim to be able to foresee that you are an intedl gent man a quick thinking shrewd dellbera e investor certainly no suck er youw just who he wants in with him on this big deal he wants wide awake epople who

natters you all the more you know that no one else is aware of the developments you alone in your community are in the know after all they couldnt tell anyone about it or everyone would be deluging the place trying to get rich quickly au this time you are getting to know this man better he buys things for you in the city when it lsn t conveni ent for you to get in and trusts you for the money until he returns hon est as the day is long thats him you insist that he must stay for dinner he kisses the baby buys a newfash ioned toy for your little son and shows him how to work it praises your wife cooking entertains you wltfe lectures or pictures after dinner insists on pay ing you 2 00 for the meal to show you hes no cheap skate and his fu ture is made at some time youre bound to get curious about who else is investing in this venture you realize that you can t be the onljijone who is figuring in such a great development so you ask your friend he is very glad to tell you some of the other holders always glad to oblige he stresses in particular the name of one very large holder a man who holds thousands of shares this man always lives over a hundred miles away you have never heard of him but he is always a professor lawyer doctor or some- professional man whose position in so ciety automatically commands your re spect when your friend goes away you think 111 just write professor or doctor soandso and ask mm how much he holds and what he thinks of tls then you rub your hands and sit and gloat over your own shrewd ness no one can put it over me that easily you think to yourself so you write to professor or doctor soandso in the far off town and he answer that he thinks that the specu lation is wonderful but just what did you expect did you think that he- would put all that money into it if he thought it was worthless but there a just one thing that your friend forgot to tell you he forget to tell you that professor or doctor so- arid so is one of the most notorious money losers in ontario awfulry cleer professionally but no business brains at all he just cant resist a get nch quick line and probably never will be able to only ten years ago he fell heir
