CUSTOMERS SUPPLY CAPITAL One Man Makes More Than $250,000 on $25,000 Investment In Nine Years --Hundreds Like Hien. (Copyright.) 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, workings of the mail order business Present Front Mail Order Buyers. that should be of interest to those who have made ouch things possible.1 These men who have piled up such big fortunes in the mail order busi- How the Game Works. mess have not •even bad to pay for In 1908 this man bought 600 much of the stock from which they are now drawing princely diaidends, shares of stock in the mail order ]The people in the country and the corporation in question when the small towns, generous souls, have stock was selling around $40 a share,Ibought it for them, This is shown the the case of the staekholder 'ttst the 800 shares .costing him a little, less than $25,000. •In 1911 the coo tithe generous who originally invested: parry declared a stock dividend of The generous mall order bnyera..have 38-1-3 per cent.
