MONEY REALLY DOES GO 0 LOOKING FOR PEOPLE : MOSEY INN RINGWOOD TELEVISION PftAGJUyiEER FRED BOWMAN, Prop - \ Fish Fry on Fridays » This is a story about looking for people. Tracers Company of America announced completion of a search In which is has located over $3,000,000 lor 45.000 persons who never dreamed their moldy stocks were worth anything. "There are at least 800,000 other puzzled Americans who hold such obsolete stacks," observed George A. Parker, financial expert and general manager of the New York City firm. "These individuals do mii know the value of their old fancy paper. Dormant or extinct ->tocks do not appear on any stock, curb or over-the-counter listings' Hence, their owners are convinced hey have no value." But there are thousands of cases in - this stock /-researcher's expert? ence that prove thenj wrong. 1 ntii-' viduarrequests to check these apparently lifeless securities have ecoveied anywhere from*"$50 to *»<i,000 for their o.Wiiers. ' "It is a shari»e;"\ Parker//-skill. That such a host - of good Amf r. can citizens many o£ iheni widows and others in moderate circumstances -dt> riot kl)ow .Uu\\ have much-needed money coining t» them." He added that the story of this three-year search, which is only the beginning • of a much lengthier one, woilld fill a book. "It is the dramatic story of an • unending • stream of oid. heavily thumbed and dog-eared securities from all over the nation, posing over my desk." Parker wuigp*Nii. All these were sent in by hopeful individuals for Parkers researching-- he has facilities for checking any stock or bond dating as far back as 1S60, Some of them, the--expert -carefully pointed out, are indeed worthless. But many others paid,off with an unexpected bonanza for their owners. One of these was a bond datng back to 1872. Files of Tracers Company show that people in every state in the union profited from this recently awakened curiosity in supposedly worthless securities. There was H. M. Mathews of Clendale. Calif., who dug three^Torgptten bonds out of his attic. They had been issued by the Ogdenhurg & Lake Champlain Railway Company, which went into trusteeship in 1930 Tracers revealed to Mathews that his bonds were worth monev -a total of $r»47.r.O. ~ In Ohio there was Mrs. Jessie 11. Holden. who wrote that she had accidently burned up 2..r>00 shares of stock in the Preston Oil Company. which she had bought at two cents a share in 1924. Tracers Company determined for her that they were worth $i.r>0 plus 50 new shares in accumulated dividends and conversions. In connection with this case. Parker pointed out that even if a stock is lost or destroyed, there is usually a record of legal ownership and the legal owner ran collect full value. --- -n,e Safest Way M '* AT/OM NICK KELLER WILL AGAIN SEEK RETURN TO ILLINOIS HOUSE State Representative Nick Keller (Republican, Waukegari) recent l.\ announced his candidacy for return to the Illinois i*.ouse oL.
