Various ways for prospective Inves tors to detect the unscrupulous stock i promoters are contained In a bulletin ? recently issaed by the National Vigi lance Committee of the Associated Advertising Clubs of the World. The bulletin indicates several unmistaka ble signs at the "wild oat" stock ped dleis which owners of War Savings I Stamps and Liberty Bonds will do well | to consider before exchanging their ! valuable securities for the offerings ; of northern stocks. The warning to prospective investors la as follows: "So far as we have been able to as certain not a single case has ever been reported where the promoters of a le gitimate, worthy ? nterprlee have of 1 fered to take Liberty Bonds in pay 1 ment for the capital stock of a new company. We believe that the very offer to take Liberty Bonds should piompt the bond owner to consult a banker or legitimate broker as to the value of the stock that Is offered in exchange tor the bonds. The offer to exchange Is an earmark which should serve as a warning. "Another earmark of the faker Is his attitude when it Is proposed to postpone action pending an investiga tion. He will asually sneer at the thought of consulting a banker or broker of standing, suggesting that of course, they would not recommend the stock because they have stocks of their own to sell. "In such a case the prospective In vestor might be sensible enough to remember that K Is the one who easts | reflections upon businese men of ' standing who is likely to be the fly ? by-night salesman, and that the bank er has been in the community many, years and will no doubt continue In business for many more. He might reason that an established firm would figure that It eould not afford ; la deceive. Tet there are thousand* of people who allow themselves to ba hoodwinked because they believe so oh ?airy stories."
