There is one way to make money
i with trismail, order ho
by dealing wit . Uses
but it isn't by buying goods from
them.
The man who thinks he is making
money by buying his goods from mail
order houses has only to read of the
amazing profits made by some of
these big corporations to realize that
all the money is being made by the
man on the other end of the deal.
The stockholder in a big mail order
concern toils not and neither does he
spin, but he piles up his money so
fast that it makes the ordinary mane
head swim to read about it. Here is
the experience of the stockholder in
one of the large mail order concerns,
as told by a reliable financial journal.
It gives a glimpse into the inside
inn, grv2nrg lctm 1,,200 shares in all,
.i third, stock dividend .,of --25 per
Cont, was paid early in 1217, bring-
ing this man's Lock holdings up to
1,500 shares, still without his hav-
ing paid in any more money. On this
1,500 shares of stock, cash dividend's
of $8 a share are now being paid.
This investor therefore is now re-
eeiyitg $12,000 a year from his orig-
inal investment of about $25,000,
and as the stook is now worth around
$160 a share, the present market
value of his stock is $240,000, giving
him a pyolit of $215,000, in addition
to caa5 dividend's which he received
during nine years, amounting to
many more thousands of dollars.
Only One of Hundreds. '
This is the story of just one small
stockholder in one mail order con-
cern. A profit of more than $215,000
made by one small stockholder in
nine years on an investment of less
than1$25,0001 It reads like fiction
but it is financial history. There'are
hundreds of other stockholders in
this and other mail order corpora-
tions, some of whom have made miI-
lions while this man made thousands.
Add the profits of all these stock-
holders together and the result is a
sum that staggers the imagination.
Small wonder that the men who
own the stock of the big mail 'order
houses can live in palaces, ride in
the highest -priced automobiles, own
palatial private yachts and buy
$100,000 paintings. But who has
furnished the money to pay for the
palaces and the automobiles and the.
yachts and the $100,000 paintings?
The people In the country and the
small towpe who have kept an end-
less stream of money flowing into the
coffers of the mail order houses
have made all this possible. Their
millions of dollars have gone to the
big cities to build up these great con-
cerns. Their millions of dollars have
provided the autotnobiles and yachts
and other luxuries for the stock-
holders in these corporations,
