MONDAY, APRIL 19, 1920. PLATTSUOUTH SEH-WEEIELY JOTJUITAI. PAGE FIVE. A MURBO(SK BEPMR TMEMT. PREPARED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE JOURNAL. Keep this ad and let. the first stock salesman who comes to see you, read it to you,) 8 I I I !' Got Rich Quick! Promotion Stocks! Kof Air Golosmon! Naturally we all want to get rich, if we can, and it would be simply fine if we could do it in a short time. ' Last year this country was literally flooded with solicitors who were sell ing promotion stocks, automobile tire stocks, automobile and truck manufactur ing stocks, creamery stocks, potash stocks, insurance stocks, milling stocks, pack ing company stocks, stocks in sky scraper buildings and hundreds of other kinds oi stocks. Did you buy any and, if so, what do you think of your . investment today? s In 1919 alone permits were issued in the United States authorizing stock companies to sell over twelve billion dollars worth of stocks, involving an amount about equal to three of our Liberty Loans. These companies are planning on sell ing this stock in the present year if they can possibly do so. ' ' Of course, the man who will "Get Rich' from these stocks will not be the man who buys stocks, but the men who promote these propositions, and the "Hot Air" salesman who sells the stock to you. Usually he gets twenty per cent or one-fifth of the amount of stock he sells. If he sells $5,000 worth of stock, he gets just one thousand dollars. Pretty nice, he ought to get rich quid:. When this "Hot Air" man calls on you next time, don't let him sell you the stock at once. Think it over and then call at your bank and ask about it. Find out what you are buying. Don't take the word of the fclow who is getting a commission for selling you this stuff usually your banker can buy it for you much cheaper than the stock salesman sells it for. THE BANK OF MURDOCK has your welfare and interests at heart, and will always try to protect your investments, should yoa ask our advice. We do not make a practice of assisting in the sale of stocks, but if you want any par ticular stock, ask us about it, and we will see at what price we can buy it for you. Just now we have quite an assortment of stocks offered to us, at prices much be low what they sold for last year, and if you must buy stocks, why not buy them as cheap as you can? Tell your banker what you want, how many shares, price you want to pay, and he will attend to the rest. It may take a few weeks to get the stock, but you will be" saving money by doing soi Better yet, don't buy them at all. At the present time we have offered to us the following Bankers Realty Bonds ... .$82.50 Hebb Motor Company stock . 97.50 I Higgins Packing Company stock . ......... 92.50 Iowa Packing Company stock. .. 74.00 ...... Overland Tire Company stock 7.35 Skinner Packing Company stock 85.00 Skinner Company stock (a) 42.50 Sprague Tire & Rubber Company stock . . . 34.00 'Some of these are from $30.00 to $40.00 less per share than the price at which the "HOT AIR" salesman sold them for.
