We think so, and we're taking a hard look right now at several situations which, in our opinion, could react in this manner. The reports we are preparing on these Canadian stocks will be made available to anyone who may be interested enough to write asking us to place their name on our constantly growing mailing list, There will be no cost or obligation involved and we may be able to enlighten you on a few major points often overlooked during massed movements of speculative capital. For example, have people forgotten that there may be explosive days ahead (in one direction or the other) such as that of last year's Timmins situation? Does it make sense that the current share prices of a potential producing mining operation continue to slump in Toronto while situations with lesser lodes rise in Vancouver? Does your list contain a utility which could advance substantially or a copper prospect with a future which may have been beclouded by new lead-zinc prospects? When we send you the report information you requested, we will also include information on Airnorth Mines Limited, our latest speculative mining venture. If our service appeals to you, we may ask you to become a client, which may prove to be profitable to both of us. •IslosiPs A. C. MocPHERSON 8, CO.
