When you buy stocks of the traveling stock salesman are you gambling or investing? There is only one way to be sure which you are doing. If you do net investigate, you are gambling. If you do investigate and find that the stock is satisfactory, you are investing. Don't take the salesman's word, he is working for his commission, not your interest. It makes no difference to him if you loose. Don't permit the promises of large returns to influence you to risk your capital. Where one man strikes it lucky, a hundred lose. Are you willing to take a hundred-to-one shot? The Bank of Murdock HENRY A. TOOL. President J. E. GUTHM ANN. Vice-President H. A. GUTHMANN.
