STRAIGHT TALKS
WITH AUNT EMMY
ON A NARROW ESCAPE

HARBOR DRUG CO.
“Oh, Aunty, I just have to talk to
you,” said Maud, bursting in on Aunt
Emmy. “Those bonds Tom’s father
gave us for a wedding present have j
matured Mid Tom has the money. A j
man is trying to get Tom to invest in j
a radio company. I want your opinion i
on it.’*
“Don’t hurry; tell me everything
you can remember,” said Aunt Emmy.
“Well, Tom didn’t seem enthusias-
tic. Then Mr. Brown, the salesman,
said that if he bought stock in his
company, and wanted his money at
any time, the company would buy back
his stock.”
“Are you sure he said that?” inter-
rupted Aunt Emmy. “That is a claim
that is not made by people connected
with dependable investment houses.
Unless you have an agreement with
the company clearly stating that it
will repurchase its stock, signed by
one of its officers, you would have
great difficulty in getting the company
to buy back your stock. A company
cannot be compelled to repurchase its
own stock. Do you know who Mr.
Brown is?”
“No,” replied Maud. “Neither does
Tom, but he seems awfully nice and
Tom liked him right from the start.
He is good looking, well dressed, and
has beautiful manners.”
Aunt Emmy sniffed. “Did he offer
to sell you preferred stock on which
dividends are guaranteed?”
“Why, how did you know, Aunty?”
exclaimed Maud. “That is exactly
what he did.”
“I thought so,” said Aunt Emmy.
“Reliable stock salesmen don’t prom-
ise that a company will repurchase its
Money back without question

dividends. Unless a company operates
profitably, it cannot pay honest divt-
dends of any sort, guaranteed or other-
wise. You can see how foolish it is to
believe that you can get dividends just
because some one says they are guar-
anteed. The only guarantee in the
world for dividends is the successful
operation of a company. Guaranteed
dividends is a glib phrase used by un-
scrupulous persons to get money from
unthinking ones. A while back the
country was flooded with fake odJ
stock. Now dishonest promoters are
trying radio stock.”
“What shall I do?” cried Maud.
“Tom is with Mr. Brown now at the
store to buy the stock with the bond
money.”
“You just go to the phone and call
Tom,” said Aunt Emmy. “Ask him
and Mr. Brown to meet you at the
bank at ten o'clock. Tell him not to
buy the stock until you tailk with him
again. Half the money is yours. Then
call the bank and make an appoint-
ment with the vice president to dis-
cuss an investment"
About noon Aunt Emmy’s telephone
rang. It was Maud. “The queerest
thing happened, Aunty,” she said.
“Mr. Brown agreed to meet us at tbs
bank at ten o’clock. Tom and I wait-
ed until eleven and he never showed
up. Then Tom told the vice president
about it and he said we had a lucky
escape. Only last week the hank look-
ed up the company Mr. Brown repre-
sented aud it Is absolutely no good!”—
