THe le ast As He Leaves for Town Solomon Is Given a Few Errands to Do Our Own Market Letter Unspeculative Favorites for the Current Year ILLIONS of dollars are annu- ally lost by unwise speculation in stocks. If all those who buy or sell securities had acted on the in- side information furnished our clients their profits would have been enormous. With the knowledge of future conditions so clearly fore- shadowed by our expert predictors, everybody wins and nobody loses. Under our system speculation is eliminated. Making money is a cer- tainty. We strongly recommend purchase of all high-grade railway stocks, ex- cept those affected by the recent strike. The possibility that the rail- roads may have to continue to pay wages based on war-inflation condi- tions indicates reduced earnings that will probably result in declining val- ues. It will be advisable to sell rail stocks wherever high freight and passenger rates have diminished net income. * ee The bull movement in Raisin Pre- ferred has been traced by our Egg Harbor correspondent to the lack of fog along the New Jersey coast, ac- companied by increased activity on the part of the Volstead bootleg fleet. When it is realized that 4,062,880,317 raisins are required for the normal home-brew production, the value of this stock is manifest. In the principal rubber stocks we confidently predict a period of ex- pansion and contraction. The in- genious suggestion by Professor Irv- ing Fisher of Yale, that instead of the gold standard the United States should adopt an india-rubber wam- pum that can be stretched or con- tracted so as to stabilize prices, will, if adopted, create a demand for old motor tires far exceeding the supply. ee x Amalgamated Hops Common is likely to move in either direction, as the result of unsettled conditions in a large number of family wash- boilers. By buying just before an advance, or selling before a decline, our clients are sure to make profits. Belgian Hares, Limited, will show increased earnings sufficient to pay a dividend of 1000 per cent., if the experiments in using rabbit fur as a substitute for wool are successful. The high tariff taxes on wool and woolens will have no terrors for the people who wear clothes, so long as merino sweaters can be grown in every backyard. We invite special attention to the prospects for the One-Way Steam- ship Company, which is building a fleet designed to carry freight out of the country and bring nothing back. As this eliminates the expense of loading goods for the return voy- age, it is expected the Company's earnings will be double that of all rival shipping concerns. *x*** Our chart of comparative values suggests an upward swing in Winter Skirts, as soon as desirable elements of the population discover that less attention is being paid to their sup- porting conditions. The above are merely a few of the many opportunities for buying or selling stocks. Write us for book- let giving full list of attractive propo- sitions, every one of which we guar- antee will go either higher or lower sometime.
