A MESSAGE TO
AMERICAN BUSINESS MEN.
You are depressed. You think you
are crippled. You are afraid of the
future. You are full of fears.
You have half the gold of the
world and half of the machinery and
most of the automobiles and all the
.skyscrapers.
You have the greatest home mar
ket in the world and the largest cor
porations that the world has evei
seen.
You are ruled more by ideas and
less by tradition than any other
people in the world. You have usu
ally done what you thought you
could do.
How can it be possible that a
progressive nation of 120,000,000
people can be wrecked by the specu
lations of a little handful of fools
in Wall Street?
The prices that were forced too
high had to come down. Today all
the prices are too low.
There is now a golden opportuni
ty for every man who has eyes to
see it.
Dollars are now being sold for
thirty cents. Practically every secur
ity in the United States is now be
ing sold at less than its value.
The way to create a fortune is
to buy from pessimists. Pay your
money and take the risk.
Frick started his career by buy
ing coke ovens in the slump of 1872,
Carnegie made $3,000,000,000 by
buying steel plants in slumps.
Hundreds of fortunes have been
made by buying; from pessimists. Ye
Gods! What a chance there is at
this moment!
In five years from now, most A
mericans, business men, will belong
to the "I-Wish-I-Had" Club! Then
it will be too late to buy a dollar
for thirty cents. The opportunities
will be gone.
When a horse balks, the balk is in 1
his head. Not in his legs. He moves
on when he thinks he will.
And when an American Business
man is depressed THE SLUMP IS
IN HIS HEAD. There is nothing ser
ious to prevent him from making
money if he thinks he will.
When fear rules the will, nothing
can be done, but when a man casts
Fear out of his mind, the world be
comes his oyster. To lose a bit of
money is nothing, but to lose hope!
or lose nerve and ambition—that
is what makes men cripples.
This silly depression has gone on
long enough. Get rid of it. It is
inside of you. RISE AND WALK
Herbert N. Casson, Editor Efficiency
Magazine, London, England.
PROTECT OUR SPORT.
When tempted during this hunt-'
ing season to violate one or any of
the laws enacted to prptect wild life,
pause and think it over. When you I
consider it for a few minutes you
will agree that to observe the game
laws is not only the wise but the
decent thing to do.
>. How long would there be any
gVme alive if there were no laws to
protect wild life? How long would
rmall v »nd large game survive if an |
uncontrblled slaughter were the or- j
er.
Isn't it merely the part of good
sportsmanship to observe these laws
.nd help perpetuate a favorite sport
for future years?
When we note that the highest
homicide rate is confined to the
slums of great cities, we realize that
r.ature knows best.
Girard's list of 59 Americans
who rule America took no account

RANDOM NOTES
X The Sun, ev£n following the elec
tion, when everyone had hoped that
politics would be dropped and all
get down to business and forget all
about the late campaign, has a long
editorial trying to prove that news
paper "independent." Well, maybe
it is independent, but what we can
not understand, is why, if that be
so, the paper does all its fighting
against the Democratic party.
* * *
Don't you remember that before
the election, The Courier several
times expressed doubt as to the ac
complishments of Mi - . Hamrick in
a Democratic body, should he be
elected. Now, just listen to what his
personal organ had to say editor
ially last week:
"Reversing the national
situation it is perhaps for
tunate for Mr. Hamrick
that he lost, as the Legisla
ture will be overwhelming
ly Democratic, and he might
not have been able to ful
fill his campaign pledges."
Sure, Mr. "Independent;" that's
what The Courier knew all the time.
* * *
Rutherford county has responded
wonderfully to the establishment
here of the First National Bank, the
only institution of its kind in the
county. Backed by national banking
laws and under protection of the
Federal Reserve system, officered b/
experienced, conservative men, work
ing on a low overhead, and with the
confidence of the public, there is no
reason why the new bank should not
grow and prosper. Read below what
a well known editor has to say of the
I small bank:
"Financial distress a
mong the giant banking in
stitutions of the world ser
ves to remind that the small
town bank, when conser
vatively managed is about
the safest thing on earth.
You never hear of banks
with management such as
we are fortunate in having
here in Glasgow, failing or
being in distress. Glasgow's
four national banks are as
safe and as strong as the
Rock of Gibraltar, itself."
—Glasgow, Ky., Times.

An article elsewhere in this pa
per relates that already Spindale has
had a reduction in the tax rate, at
tributable to the sale of the utility
j plants in that city. After those who
| opposed the sale here have had time
jto digest the matter, The Courier is of
I the opinion that in event another elec
| tion is held in this city, the pron
) osition of the sale would carry by
| more than two to one. Experience
j a dear teacher, sometimes, but sure
in its effects. Insistent demand might
get another vote on this question in
Forest City.
* * *
Want Forest City to prosper?
Then why not sign for gas? The;
company wants to enter our city and
will spend a goodly sum of money
here if they do.

It's just too bad. Knowing that
Editor Price had a fine flock of
chickens, w e were "all set" for an
invitation to a big Thanksgiving din
ner, and now along comes the news
that sneak thieves had made a raid
on the genial editor, and away goes
our hope for that fine dinner. Can
you imagine anyone, no matter how
depraved, robbing a hard working
editor?
❖ * *
Business is good in Forest City.
If you don't believe it, just drop in
any week-end. And there's a reason*
Central location and the reputation
our merchants have for having the
goods and making the price. Also
the cordial welcome draws folks to
Forest City.
