Describes Probe Bureau. | In his speech Mr. Vanderlip had described in a general way the work- | ing of the Citizens' Federal Rescarch Bureau he has established fn Wash- | ington at his own expense—how he proposed, through it, to help the in- vestigating committee to unearth more corruption in government than the committees had unearthed. He had spoken of the distinguished citizens he had asked to sponsor it. Since the business of® getting their names and assistance would have taken much time, he said, “the dis- tinguished citizen” idea had bheen wbandoned and the bureau had been composed of a considerable number of well known and patriotic young men, about forty or fifty in,number. Afterward, when asked for the names of some of the workers in his new burcau, Mr. Vanderlip said he was chairman, that the secretary was John D. Pearmain, a Harvard man, a Massachusetts man and former proprictor of a fruit farm in Massa- chusetts, whith he had recently sold {to Henry Ford; that the treasurer i was Boyd Fisher, former newspaper { man, former industrial and employ- | ment executive, aiso a Harvard man, and that one of his most effective workers was a man named Glavis. “I have forgotten his first name,” said Mr. Vanderlip. “That is strange EuivEm . b S Sk Bt Aerech Jie e Bivines he was in the Department of the In- $19.50 326-50 terior under Ballinger, and is a law- e R T . i L ! | vandertip“saia, Dt ' had o et Boyish ‘tailored jersey Charming dresses for after- e i e dresses.

The rapidity with which we are filling the ini- tial quota. It isn’t quite two months yet since the stock books were opened—and we are well on our way. OTH of these points are strong indorsements—and I person- ally appreciate the confidence they éxpress in the ability of the Ward- man Construction Company to continue to make good. F course, if it wasn’t for the huge scale of operations of the Construction Company—re- quiring the use of large capital and making quick and profitable turn- overs—the Wardman Mortgage and Discount Corporation could not figure dividends with the con- fidence it does. In our case it’s action all the time. As fast as our capital comes in, out it goes profit- ably to work. And with practical- ly no overhead—because we arc operating without expensive exec- utive salaries — and the other profit-absorbing incidentals. 'OU are going to get some in- teresting report when w- round-up at the semi-annusi divi- dend—and you'll be surprised when you see what a gutiznce wa- ministration of the affairs of the Corporation has cost. All of which naturally swells the dividends. CAN tell you frankly it’s an op- portunity worthy of considera- tion. Right now every share of 89, Preferred, for which you pay $125, is accompanied by a share of Com- mon Stock. $4 is the minimum dividend it can pay, according to charter. You see, thus a $12 divi- dend is anticipated—but it should be greater unless I miss my calcu- lations. F there are any points you want explained let us know and we will make them clear.
