COPPER OUTLOOK GOOD j
Copper companies are on the threshold of an era of
excellent profits for the next several years. There will be
tremendous electric development and demands for bil
lions of pounds of copper. In the event of a general mar- (
ket setback, holders of good copper shares should not be
frightened out of their copper stocks, but should resol- '
utely bear in mind the fundamental uptrend of the next ’
few years. ;
In England purchases on the installment plan are 1
called “hire-purchase agreements.” That sounds easier, '
but the euphemism wouldn’t help much when payments !
come due.
HE HAD HIS FLING, ANYWAY
C. Emory Titman of Philadelphia, who died re
cently, lived several years in poverty because he took
a doctor’s advice too seriously. Fifteen years ago, just ;
after Titman had received a legacy of $250,000, the (
doctor told him he had less than a year to live, so he
proceeded to spend the whole fortune as rapidly as pos
sible. He was soon broke, but got well and worked fol
low wages the rest of his life.
Spectators in the recordor’s court at Montreal
were surprised one day when the clerk shouted “Mary
Christmas.” No reference was being made to the annual
holiday, however, as Mary Christmas was the real
name of a defendant whom the clerk was calling before
the bar of justice, charged with being “soused.”
Students are smart these days, but most of them
flunk in their civics examinations when asked what a
delegate to congress gets pay for.
Development of the mining industry is of the utmost
importance, for this industry creates from the store
houses of the Creator for the uses of humanity.
