The public has at times past been warned - against buying what cannot afterwards be5 sold through a bank or. a registered stock exchange broker. - I . . Greene county has in the pash been a fertile field for the sale of most any kind, o f a security* with or without merit. Within the past year a Dayton grocery concern sold stock o f sup* $1000 shares for ?1500 a share. In fact it is now held, that at no. time was the stock ever worth the ?1000 as it was represented to be, A well known farmer west of here “ bit” on the “/something for nothing” bait and Is now out his money, some ?600Q or $7000. The company is now in the hands of a receiver. The effect on society of the sale o f such, stocks can best. be< judged from an'incident that happened in .Dayton some - months ' ago. A well known and highly respected former businessman in that- city took the lift of his wife and then, his own. Both were past middle age .and both had worried themselves into "a state o f remorse all as the'result o f their fortune that had been saved to keep them .in ’very comfortable circum­ stances in their declining years. They hajl suffered a loss of nearly twenty five thousand dollars when a supposed friend induced them to invent in a number- o f worthless companies. The loss was more than they could stand and their Worry brought' the tragic end. Several hundred thousand dollars of hard earned money has gown down into the pockets of speculating “gam­ blers while our people must/ now seek to replace their,losses if they Are not- past the age. where -it..is ‘possible to do if. We recall t o mind just. nowv the condition of one who a f one i^TOe'-W^ ope of our most prosperous farmers in ' the, county. He had. accumlated a small fortune, by years of bard labor on the farm. Right at the time in life when,,he, should have, the benefit, of the profits of this labor he was in­ duced to invest in a number of Ohio concerns. His loses were more than he could stand. His-heaith broke and finally his mind weakened and today he is an inmate in a state institution. Not so long ago we-were told, of a lady in Xenia who had invested in what^.has proved to be worthless se­ curities. She consulted her bahker and he advised against the purchase of the stocks. But the agent was persist* - ant and she yielded to'his . influence and has lost without hope of recovery. It.wasonly a short time ago that this same,woman was seeking a loan on her stocks that she might roof her lit­ tle home. This was impossible for the stocke have no value today. These are but object lessons all from the experiences o f people about us. Never buy without consulting with your banker or some one who you know has had experience in buy­ ing securities. Your banker will al­ ways give you advice that you enh follow. He cannot afford to do other­ wise. The agent secs you today and is gone tomorrow-—-with your money. M.
