SPENCERIAN PEN COMPANY. 349 BROADWAY, NEW YORK STEEL PENS ¶ On August 10 Collier's will begin the publication of a series of four articles by Elliott Flower of Chicago, under the general title of "The Diary of a Small Investor." They will cover the author's actual dealings with three or four of the get-rich-quick concerns that use the Chicago Sunday newspapers to sell stock. The sharpers who got Mr. Flower's $150 were selected, not because of their unusually extravagant promises in the way of dividend returns, but because they seemed to be typical of the leeches who, with the assistance of the big newspapers, are bleeding small investors in every part of the country. The titles of the articles and the dates of their appearance will be: Mr. Flower's articles raise the question: Who make up the "sucker lists" that are treasured so carefully by the promoters of fake mining and investment enterprises? "Larry" Summerfield, "prince of wire-tappers," now serving a term in prison, had a theory that frugal, underpaid ministers, preaching to country and small town congregations and striving desperately to make ends meet, are the victims most easily fleeced by sharpers. A "preacher list," therefore, was prized by the cynical "Larry." But by far the most numerous class of victims of Ithe lures of the promoters who fill the Sunday newspapers with promises of great returns for small investments are the clerks. These small-salaried workers watch their savings mount slowly, earning at most four per cent at the savings bank, and impatience at the reluctance of fortune to turn their way stirs them. It is then that the man with a dizzying promise of wealth makes his alluring announcement in the Sunday newspaper. Fifty per cent profit the first year is no uncommon promisea promise, by the way, usually so cleverly phrased that the promoter can not be held liable, legally, for what he plainly means the intending investor to understand. Assuming the habit of mind of a clerk, Mr. Flower undertook to find out what would be the outcome of an average clerk's attempt to invest $150 in order to bring such returns as were promised by the Sunday newspaper advertisers of Chicago. His articles are the record of his actual experience. The names of promoters and companies in the articles are not disguised. These enterprises and these, sharpers are still appealing to the suckers. Big newspapers still open their columns to their fantastic advertising literature. It is a very live subject that Mr. Flower has tackled. Collier's expects the promoting tribe, those "parasites of prosperity," to squirm when the story touches them, but does not expect to waste any sympathy on them. A Prop for the Quacks "Religious Journalism and the Great American Fraud" is the title of Samuel Hopkins Adams's next article dealing with patent medicines. While the Sunday newspaper is the mainstay of the mine promoter, "religious journalism," says Mr. Adams, "props one corner of the tottering Great American Fraud. Lend to a quack or a swindling patent-medicine vender the countenance of the Church and he is a made man." Mr. Adams's article will name some spiritual guides which comfort the heart with endorsements of "Swamp Root" and "Duffy's Malt Whiskey." It will suggest a way for the readers of the religious journals to remove such blots from their pages. A Character-Building School For Boys Will make your boy alert, prompt and self-reliant.
