THE FORTUNES OF WAR
(Copyright, 1914, by C. M. Keys, New York.)
On one day In November two manufacturers visited a banking
house in New York. One of them manufactures a clay product, the
raw material of which comes from Austria. The other one manu
factures saddles. In June of this year both these men were getting
along only fairly well, the first rather better than the second.
Business had been dull, normally, with both of them.
In November the manufacturer of clay products was willing; to
confess that his business had been practically destroyed and he did
not know which way he could turn to revive it, unless the war came
to a close very soon, and he was able to resume the importation
of his raw material. The manufacturer of saddles, on the contrary,
had Just closed a contract which would keep his plant busy for five
months at Itß maximum capacity, turning out products sold on the
largest profits that he had been able to secure In many years. Thus
the Incidents of the war, in which neither of these men had had the
slightest initiative, had depressed the one and exalted the other.
The Incident Is of value to the Investor if he will apply it to
investment matters. There are hundreds of stocks and oif bonds
afloat in the United States that represent industries exposed to the
same sort of vicissitudes that oame to these two men. It does not
always take a war to ruin a prosperous industry, and it does not
always take a war to bring suddenly to some struggling industry a
flood of wealth and affluence. Incidents of a hundred different sorts
produce these same results, and the stockholder, or even the bond
holder, of industrial concerns, is always exposed In greater or lesser
degree to sudden changes of fortune, favorable or unfavorable. The
war has merely afforded a dozen illustrations of a principle which
all trained financial economists recognize, but which the public
seems always bound to ignore.
It Is said that once, after Andrew Carnegie had sold out Ms
Steel Interests in this country, he remarked to a reporter that the
steel business would always be either a prince or a pauper. By that
he meant that the profits of the business depended upon certain
Indefinite circumstances which could not be foretold, and that the
difference between great prosperity and poverty would depend upon
a small margin of chance. What is true of the greatest industrial
industries Is also true of the smallest, and it would seem likely, to
> some extent, that the element of chance grows larger as the industry
grows smaller. One might say that In the great staple trades it
takes almost an economic revolution to destroy established lines of
manufacture, or to bring it about that they suddenly become extra
ordinary- prosperous. In the small manufacturing trade, on the
contrary, like the making of patented specialties, patented food
products, or products based upon secret formulae, a little thing
like a new patent, new formula, or a new genius in the trade, may
make one company and break another. Thus the risk as well as the
chance for large profits is multiplied as one goes down the Indus
trial scale.
The gist of experience, then, is that If one look for safety, one
is hardly likely to find it in perfection in the atoeks or bonds that
represent a partnership in Industry. That is in no sense a criticism
of industrial investment. Most of the great fortunes of this and
every other country, were made by successful ventures in industrial
fields and probably they always will be; but it is coming to be an
established principle in Investment that the fundamental idea of In
vestment is not s-o much to make money as to save it and keep it
working at a normal rate of income.
To the speculator, thte whole incident of the closed stock ex
change, and the suspended animation of the market, has been a
great shock and an extraordinary experience. Also a curious varia
tion in the prices of stocks as they were affected by the unnatural
conditions have given to the speculator a sort of a feeling that he
knows nothing at all a<bout stocks. In ordinary times the trained
speculator congratulates himself that he can follow pretty definitely
the fluctuations In stocks; but when these fluctuations are based
on such a thing as this war, with the result In economic changes
throughout, the world the ordinary rules of speculation fail utterly.
Perhaps, as one result of the war, a great many men who have
delighted to risk their money in speculation will prefer the safer if
less exciting field of Investment; but, on the contrary, It may work
just the other way and the great era of new speculation may start
with the end o£ the war.

MONEY FOR THE
SHOPPERS SOON"
Continued From First Pace.
$30,000 among the 1,200 members of
the successful club which that bank
conducted this year. The bank will
open next year's club in a short time.
The Steeltou National Hank, which
has a club two years old, \tili pay out
$43,000 dollars to the menVbers in the
latter part of next week. While the in
crease in membership of the club this
year over that of last year was vory
large, a much greater increase is ex
pected in the membership of next
year's club which will be started in a
short time. •
A number of Christmas clubs are
conducted by local industrial establish
ments and those also will make their
distributions during next week.
Money Helps the Shoppers
This money coming right in the
midst of the holiday season will re
lieve many a worried mind and will
greatly enlarge the crowd of Christmas
shoppers who are now crowding the
stores.
These clubs are a great help to
mauy people, who, without them,
would be unable to save. The people
who weekly paid in their quarters, half
dollars and t «lollq.rs and did not miss
them have been surprised to learn how
it is to save. Muchi of the money paid
out by the clubs will immediately be
redoposited in the form of permanent
bank accounts.
