SOME SOUND ADVICE.
Varying Ideas of Weil-Known Capitalists - :
B. & L. 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. Compared

“Of course all depends upon the
mianageinent, but taken as a who le the
money of poor pec pie put into a build-

In proportion to the enormous amount

“principal, but interest, which has thus

“Uneli” Rufos Hatch's Views.
“Unele”” Rufus Hatch, who has lost
cover $1,000,000 in Wall street, does not |
i reccommend any “high flying” invest-
ment. 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. It would seem however, from
disclosures that national banks and
savings banks and all other banks are
more or less open to critivism. The}

“However all this may be,” and

' public to shun its precinte. It is simply
suicide for a man to fo go to: Wall street

My advice to thrifty per-'
sons is to keep the §100 saved and keep
adding to it until it has accumulated to

the Bell, Louis & Yates coal mining
company and the Rochester and Pitte-

their miners the advance asked to be-
come effective May 1, providing they
work during April, and that the ad-
vance continue in effect only one month
if operators in the region fail to come
up to it, was considered. A request
was made by the convention that the
advance be given April 15, instead of
May 1. Resolutions were adopted
calling a convention there April 19, of
all organized and unorganised miners

Company Stores.
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.
