This i{s a very wholesome plece of levislation and {s more fare reaching than many would suppose upon first reading of the act. It requires every concern located in or out of the State except those spe- claly exempted as enumerated above, before offering for sale any of their stock, bonds or other securities of any kind or character outside of the county in which they are located, to submit to the comptroller complete financial statements and eet a per- mit signed by the comnptroller and attorney general. The law requires also that when the company is given guch permit that they recister every A pgent and a registration certificate s piven each agent. Before the comptroller and attor. ney general may {ssne to any invest- ment company a permit to sell its stocks, bonds or securities in this state they must make such examina=’ tion of the concern and of thele plan of doing business as will satige fy them that the concern has a fals, just and equitable proposition te offer, but t*e law does not permit the comptroller and attorney genere al to reepmirend any company's se= curities. The Investing pubdblle should be slow to buy any kind of stock o security offered them until they have satisfled themselvae that 1o tp no golu-brick proposition and the “blue sky” law makes this easy teor do. All that I8 necessary is to ask the vendor for his credentials and & showing that the concern has , per- mit to do business in Florida. 1t the stock offered is that of & corporation located in the county i which it is offered no permit will ba necessary to make the offer in that county, but it the concern is not loe cated In the county in which it of.’ fers its stocks or securities for sale, then the public will not onlv he pre- tecting themselves, but will be ag. sisting greatly in the administration of the law if they will make It § point to find out if the salerman s a duly registered &rent of a con- cern having & permit to do buste ness in the State. With the hearty co-operat'on et the publle the investment fakirg' will be driven from the State an@ it Is well known. that Flor'da has suffered her share of losses from the sale of fake stocks and bold briek propositions to its citizens.
