One Man Makes More Than $250,000
on $25,000 Investment in Nine
Years—Hundreds Like

(Copyright.)
There is one way to make money by
dealing with the 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 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 man’s 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 work-
ings of the mail-order business that
should be of interest to those who
have made such things possible.
How the Game Works.
In 1908 this man bought 600 shares
Jf stock in the mail-order corporation
In question when the stock was selling
around $40 a share, the 600 shares
zosting him a little less than $25,000.
In 1911 the company declared a stock
dividend of 33 1-3 per cent. In‘ other
words the company afier paying cash
dividends regularly, had accumulated
an surplus profit of one-third of the
amount of capital invested in the
business; but instead of distributing
this profit among the stockholders the
company kept the money in the busi-
ness and issued stock for that amount
to the stockholders. By this action
200 more shares of stock were issued
to the man who had originally bought
800, increasing his holdings to 800
shares, without his having put any
more money into the business.
Another stock dividend of 50 per
cent was declared in 1915 and this
added 400 shares more to his holdings,
giving him 1,200 shares in all. A third
stock dividend of 25 per cent was paid
early in 1917, bringing this man’s
stock holdings up to 1,500 shares, still
without his having paid in any more
money, On this 1,500 shares of stock,
cash dividends of $8 a share are now
being paid. This investor therefore
is now receiving $12,000 a year from
his original investment of about $25,-
000, and as the stock is now worth
ground $160 a share, the present mar-
ket value of his stock is $240,000, giv-
ing him a profit of $215,000, in addi-
tion to cash dividends which he re-
ceived 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 concern.
A profit of more than $215,000 made
by one small stockholder in nine years
on an investment of less than $25,000!
It reads like fiction but it is financial
history. There are hundreds of other
stockholders in this and other mail-
‘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
ican live in palaces, ride in the highest-
MVM WW WW YW | ipriced gutomobiles, own palatial pris
'vate yachts and buy $100,000 paints
iings, 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 towns who have
{kept an endless stream of money flow-
ing into the coffers of the mail-order
‘houses have made all this possible,
‘Their millions of dollars have gone td
‘the big cities to build up these great
‘concerns. Their millions of dollars
have provided the automobiles and
yachts and other luxuries for the
‘stockholders in these corporations,
Present From Mail-Order Buyers.
These men who have piled up such
big fortunes in the mail-order busi:
‘ness have not even had to pay fox
much of the stock from which they are
NOW drawing princely dividends. The
‘people in the country and the small
‘towns, generous souls, have bought it
for them. This is shown in the case
‘of the stockholder just menti®ned, who
ioriginally invested. The generous
‘mail-order buyers have made him a
‘present of $215,000 worth of stock and
‘he has not had to turn his hand over
‘to get it. He has never even had to
so much as write a letter to get if,
The generous mail-order buyers have
handed it to him on a golden platter.
There's money in the mail-order
business without a doubt, but its on
the side of the man who does the sell-
ing and not the one who does the
buying. If you must do business with
the mail-order house, buy some of its:
stock and let the fellow in the next
town buy you automobiles and private
yachts while he struggles with the
| hard times that come from draining
.his town of the cash that goes to keep
you in luxury. Ge .
