To! jench of these he mailed this let-1 j ter, with a !?1 bill enclosed: | \ou can keep this doilar if you want to, but we hope you won't. !We hope you'll send it and , another one to me as your sub-' scription to the fund. We believe : everyone js really kind and gen-, jerous. We are investing sl.ooo' !to prove that belief. Have we 1 made a good investment? What I is your answer?"' Out of the one thousand who I received a letter and $1 bill, 600 j returned the $1 with another one, ; and only 200 kept the sl.
