THE ALLIANCE HERALD, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 3, 1920.
THREE
STOCK BUYERS
BADLY STUNG
Ornate Lithographed Certificates
Often Not Even Suitable for
Scratch Paper.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars
were wasted and squandered by fann
ers in southeastern Nebraska during
the orgy of stock promotion spending,
according to bankers who have been
checking up on customers who have
nothing to show for their "invest
ments" except some very attractive
appearing lithographed stock certifi
cates which are not even suitable for
swatch paper because they are print
ed on both sides, says the Nebraska
City Tress.
Most of this money came from the
pockets of farmers who were led to
believe that there was no profit to be
had in the prosaic business of tilling
the soil, yet whose money for "in
vestment" purposes had been derived
from that very unattractive source of
supply. The losses sustained by the
buyers of these worthless securities
are not surprising to men who know
the stock promotion game, mtiny
from bitter experience, but they are
very surprising and disappointing to
buyers, who for the first time in their
lives, were urged to deal in some
thing a little more intangible than
the commodities which they have been
used to since birth.
And of course, it is too late to cry
ver spilled milk. , The farmers who
invested in ther;e enterprises which
seem to have disappeared as in a tor
nado, are, for the most part taking
their losses god-naturedly although, it
is feared, they are permitting these
reverses to influence their vivid ex
pressions of disapproval over the
slump in the gra.n and livestock mar
kets. As for the promoters who engi
neered the propositions and upon
-whose promises of huge profits the
farmers depended, they have departed
hastily from the scene of their recent
operations. Having garnered their
harvest they are now 01T to Palm
Beach or some other salubrious winter
resort where they may enjoy their
wealth. A new crop of prospects may
be provided some day in the future,
but is is believed that the men who
were encouraged to "invert" within
the past few months will no longer
xtend the good right hand to fellow
ship to promoters of stock subscrip
tion schemes, at least, not as long as
memory lasts, and men who have been
bilked usually have good memories.
