'Many fell for his story
lived many inexperienced investors
rom the same fate was they knew big
profits mean bigger risks. Fifty per
cent in 46 days was too big a risk,
lo they stayed out.
The average wage earner thought
e saw a chance to get part of the
pig which the bankers are supposed
if have been getting. This was tHe
"rvument that put Ponzi’s scheme
IKosa. What is more any faker that
es along can make a haul with
B same cry.
if Like Working For Wage*.
’ Investing your money is just like
prldng for wages. In one case you
HI the use of your money for a cer-
lin rate of interest. In the other
sse you sell your labor for a certain
Kge. If you try to get more wages
han you are 1 worth you soon lose
iur job. If you try to get more in-
erest than your money is worth you
pn lose our money. The trouble
ith people who bought Ponzi notes
3 they believed their money to be
rth more than it really was.
How much was your money worth
iforo the war? Three and a half
four per cent interest was a fair
■' you would take a moderate
risk. Seven or eight per cent was a
big risk.
Today, the price of money has gone
up just like the price of groceries.
You can buy securities which will
yield you six or seven per cent with
little risk, or eight per cent if you
can take a moderate risk. If you
put your money in a savings bank you
can get five per cent, and you don’t
have to worry about picking out the
All that right securities.
For Partner System.
In many cases the banks are mak
ing much larger profits than they
used to because of a higher rate that
they charge when they loan money.
And they sometimes make profit on
foreign exchange transactions. They
ate not making anywhere near as
much as most people think. If the
banks would tell the public more
about their earnings, it would save a
great deal of trouble.
A bank should treat its depositors
as partners in the business. If it can
get more interest for the money it
lends it should be willing to pay more

is not far off when some enterprising
bankers will adopt this plan. They
immediately will get the confidence of
the public, and all hands will make
more money by it.
In a few months’ time Ponxi would
raise over *10,000,000. The people
had plenty of money to lend when
they thought they could get 60 per
cent a month. What is more, every
body who could save a few dollars did
it in order to get in on this scheme.
Nobody is ever going to be able to
pay such a rate for money, bnt the

to make saving worth while. Encour

Urge them to pay as much interest to
depositors as they can with safety.

profit in saving, most of them will
save.
