(Copyright.) • There Is one way to make money by dealing withthe mail-order houses but It isn't by buying goods from them. :The man who thinks. he is making money by buying his goods from mail- order house S 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 tolls not and neither does he spin, but he piles up his money so fast that it makes the ordinary man's head swim to read about it.

In 1905 this man bought 600 shares of stock in the mail-order corporation PRINTING AT HOME is often thought In question when the stock was selling of by ignorant people, to be of poorer around $40 a share, the 000 shares eosting him a little less than $25,000. In 1011 the company declarea a stoek dividend of 33 1-3 per cent. In other words the company after paying cash far superior in quality and Workmanship dividends regularly, had accumulated a surplus profit of one-third of the — , - amount of capital invested hi the business; but instead of distributing thie profit among the Steekholders the company kept the money In the bust - nos and issued steels for that amount to the stockholders.

Another stock dividend of 60 per cent wits declared In 1015' and this added 400 ahares here to his holdings, giving him 1,200 shares in all. A thlrd stock dividend of 26 per cent svas paid early in 1$11, bringing this man's stack holdings up to 1,100 shares, ert without Its he'virtg paid 111 isnly more Only One of Hundreds. This 'is the story of just one small stockholder in one mail-order concern. A profit of more than $215,000 made by one small stocknolder in nine years on an investment of less than $25,0001 tt reads like fiction but it is financial history. There are hundreds of other stockholder's tn this and other mall - order corporations, some of whom have made millions while this man made thousands. Add the profits of all these stockholders together and the result is a sum that staggers the imag- ination. Small wonder that the men who own the stock of the big mail-order houses an live in palaces, ride in the highest - priced automobiles, own palatial pri- vate yachts and ,buy $100,000 paint- ings. • But who has furnished the money to pay for the palaces and the automobiles and the yachts and the S100,000 paintings? The people in the eountry and the small towns who have kept an endless stream of money flow - mg into the coffers of the mail-order houses have made all this possible. rheir millions of dollars have gone to the big cities to build up these great' 2oncerns. Their millions of dollars have provided the automobiles and yachts- and other luxuries for the stockholders in these corporations. Present From Mall -Order Buyers. These men who have piled up such big fortunes in the mall -order busi- ness have not even bad to pay for much of the stoelt from which they are now drawing princely dividends. The neople in the country and the small towns, generous soul, have bought it for them. This is shown in the ease of the stockholder Jost mentioned, who originally Invested. The generous meil-order buyera have made him a present of $215,000 worth of stock and he has not had to turn his hand over to get It Ile has never even had to so inueli as write a 'letter to get it. The generous mall -order buyers have handed it to him on a golden platter. Tio•re's money in the mall -order •(rosiness without a -doubt, but its en the side of the man who does the sell- ing and not the one who does the' buying.

A man was once brought out of ether who riad taken eight ounces, and a man was once brought out of chloroform who had taken 221A ounces, but no man ever reviv- ed who swallowed five ounces of alcohol at a single dose. The unconsciousness or coma prOduced by alcohol if not broken within ten or twelve hours is followed by practically certain death.
