Association Recommended. The New York World says that hundreds and thousands of thrifty young men and women throughout the United Stats, who are ambitious to se- | cure a competency for their old age,are at a loss to know how to invest their. small savings to advantage. There is scarcely a successful business man in New York who does not receive in his mail every morning requests for infor- mation as to the best way to invest small sums of money. With a view of obtaining some opin- ions on the subject a reporter called a few days ago upon some of the most prominent and successful business men | ‘of the country, noted for their shrewd investments, and asked them to give ‘their opinions of the best way to invest $100. Mr. Henry Clews, who has eared a reputation for his sound judgement in all “matters relating to investments, “The best investment for $100 is to place it in a good building and loan association and make the foundation to build upon by frequent widitions to itt. When the amount gets large enough the first acqusition of property - ; should buy a homestead, and when that is accomplished it will give such comfort and peace of mind to the owner and his family as to make life “worth the living. “When a man is known to own. his house it gives him a status in the com- munity greater than anything else. Jt also gives him an established credit, which, when obtained, if judiciously and conservatively used, will make it mucie easier to acquire this world’s “The best citizens are those who own | in fee their homes and their contents, for it developes qualities in man’s na- ture that otherwise may remain dor-: _mant or hidden like a light under a. bashel. “Among these qualities are pride of position, which will keep a man re- spectable; the love of country, which will make him a patriot, and almost more than anything eisé contribute to make him, not only respected by his neighbors and friends, but also a good and faithful husband and a loving parent.” : A “Gilt Edged Bond,” Says Dr. Depew. Dr. Chauncey M. Depew advised that ‘the $100 should be made grow to $1,000 before being invested in any enter prise “Pat it in a local building and loan association,” said the doctor, ‘‘where it can draw componnd interest, and add to it as you can until it becomes a Then consult some Wise conservative banker and invest it in a gilt edged bond which can be regis tered. There is no investment for $100 except to put it into a building and loan association that is absolutely safe. The chances are that if be went to en- quire he would meet speculative gentle- men who would land his $100 in some mining or other similar scheme which promised large returns and that would . be the end of it.” Mr. Erastus Wiman is of the opinion that “‘the best way to invest $100 is to buy a share in some well managed local These associations represent the aggregate savings of their members, aud the money i= invested only in houses built by one of their own number. The in- vestment is therefore a good safes one, because men will pay for their homes and the interest due thereon sooner than they would pay for anything else. The money can be withdrawn, if need be, whie it rests with the society, and it pays as good an interest as any other safe enterprise can afford.

His advice for putting out $100 was to “‘go slow,” and he added: “If you can find a good local building and | loan association put the §100 there, and be satisfied with 3 or § per cent. inter- est.

The New Jersey legislature revel passed a bill which will virtually abol- ish the company stores in ‘that state. It provides that every manufacturing, mining or quarrying and lumbering corporation, partnership, association and establishment in the state shall pay their employers at least once every two weeks in lgwfal money. It also provides that it will be illegal for any company and its employes to enter in. to any contract by which wages can be paid in any other way. In this state there is a law which prohibits a chart ‘ered corporation from payidg ite employes on the company store plan, but it seems that it is a dead letter, ' as it has been deiared unconstitutional by one of the lower courts.
