History of Firms
Shows Eapid Growth
The history of every lame and growing
city shows that the man with capital ban
reaped the profits from Increasing; value
of centrally located real estate. In every
city property close In advances much
more rapidly In value than In the out-
klrts. This close-In property Is In most
Instances Improved with large and expen
sive buildings, and therefore necessitates
large sums to handle. Thin field has been
veritable mine of opportunity for the
man with capital, and the man of moder.
ate means has to be content with much
mailer returns for Investments In vacant
lots, which In most Instances are pur
chased from development companies p.t
an exorbitant figure, or else he turns to
speculation In Inventions, cold 'mines or
oil enterprises, where. In most Instance,
his money Is soon lost.
The average man realizes that Improved
real estate Is the safest, ot all Invest
ments, but the possibility of handling this
class of property alone Is beyond him.
It was on account of this fact that a num
ber of men formed the American Ileal
Kstate company In New York City In "SS
under the co-operative plan. This com
pany today, after twenty-five years of op
eration, owns property valued at morn
than J24.000.OCO, and has besides accumu
lated a surplus of 13,000,000 and hns re
turned W.000.0O0 to thrifty Investors In nil
parts of the United States. Since the or
ganisation of the American Real Kstate
company about twenty others have made
a success of the plan In New York City.
The co-operative plan has recently been
put In operation by the Omaha Realty
Owners' corporation, and reports from
this organlttttton show that the people of
Omaha are awake to the fact that Omaha,
growing ns It Ii, offers a field for lanre
return In this" line. The men at the head
of the Institution are experienced In ttu
realty field, which Is a very important
factor.
The president ot the company, Arthur
C. Thompson, has been active In this
field of work tn connection with two of
the largest eastern companies for the last
five years. Other officers are: W. O.
Jensen, president of the O. W. Jencen
Building company; John N. Crawford,
superintendent of the new "Woodmen .if
the World building: Harry A. Koch, man
ager of the bond department for Martin
Bros, company; N. II. T. Jury, manager
of the brick department for C. W. Hull
company, and Qlen B. Pettlt, manager of
the sheep department for Armour & Co.
EXAMINING BODY WITH
SEARCHLIGHTS A FACT
Inventive genius has now made It pos
sible to look Into nearly all the hollow
organs of the body during life, to ex
tract foreign bodies which have) lodged
there accidentally, or to explore and treat
diseased conditions. Children, frequently,
and grown people, occasionally, swallow
or suck Into the windpipe various object,
nhlch lodge In the esophagus, or In the
bronchial tubes.
The bronchoscope Is a tube with a han
dle and mirror by means of which the
surgeon can look down Into the bron
chlal tubes and locate such foreign bod
ies, and u" the aid of other appliance
they may be grasped and removed. A
similar Instrument Is used ' for locating
objects which may havo lodged In tho
esophagus, the passage to the stomach.
An Improvement on this Instrument en
ables the surgeon, through conveniently
arranged mirrors and a small electric
lump at the end, to hare a view of tho
Interior ot the stomach, and he may
btudy the condition of the lining of that
organ. The bladder may nl?o be explored.
SATISFACTION IN USE
OF ELECTRIC DISHES
The fortunate possesser of an olectrU
chafing dish finds no better season for
Its use than the snappy days when
oysters are at their best. Here are two
very good pishes which would be ex
cellent for a dinner or after a skating
trip or walk;
Chicken and Oyster A La, Metropole
Quarter cup butter, two cups cold cooked
chicken, cut In dice, quarter cup flour,
one-half tenspoon suit, one pint oysters,
cleaned and drained, ono-elghth teaspoon
pepper, two cups cream, one-third cup
finely chopped celery.
Trust Companies as
Protectors of Money
The time honored proverb that "truth
Is stranger than fiction" is perhaps no
where Illustrated in so forcible a way
as In the cold, dry records of probate
courts of this or any other section of
the country. The pathetic and ofttlmes
tragic circumstances with their Insepara
ble proof of the frailty and uncertainty ol
human life, which these court files con
tain, rarely oome to the knowledge ot the
public. There are stories of the looting
of estates, of mismanagement of estates,
ruinous speculation with the belongings
of widows and helpless children. Almost
Invariably such records point a moral.
They show that when a man dies and
leaves all his property to be managed
b'y some "trusted adviser" or "family
counsellor" without providing any other
safe agency, that very frequently such
confidence has been 111 placed ami that
such trusts have been betrayed.
In former days, before tho arrival of
the so-called "modern trust company,"
the dying man had no other alternative
than to call tn Mb most trusted friend
to preserve his estate In behalf of sur
viving members of his family. But the
modern institution known an the trust
company has changed all this because
fnf tho fact that as a corporation It "Uvea
on forever."
Although trust companies have come
Into their own only within the last ten
or fifteen years, there Is much food for
thought when It is stated that tike trust
companies of the United States now man
age estates and handle trusts for tho
living and the dead amounting in value
to 17.300.000,000. This does not begin to
Include tho amount of trusts which they
have In their custody.
If one should Include the 5,490,000,000
banking resources reported by 1.6M trust
companies on June 30, lout, the $7,300,000,000
Individual trusts and the 25,000,OM,000
given as the faco value of mortgages
executed by corporations as security for
bonds and stocks and conveyed to trust
companies In addition to securities de
posited as pledge for the redemption ot
collateral trust bonds, the grand total
reaches the staggering figure of $57,030,-000,000.
