A score of schemes for coaxing moncy from the pockets of “the middle classes” have been ew posed, These schemes, and others like them, get millions of dol lars in Seattle cach year, In this, the last story of the series, is told how to dodge the crook. COL Any BY JIM MARSHALL 'USINESS crooks who prey on Seattle citizens hurt everybody, let alone their victims. They drain needed money from savings accounts, waste coin that might be invested in legitimate enterprises for build- ing up the country and, worst of all, tend to taint honest business with the suspicion of dishonesty, Because of the crooks, it is hard for a man in a legitimate enterprise to obtain capite Volks who will invest in companies selling slices of the cerulean sky wouldn’t give the honest man a penny. selling it and know that the sellers are honest. There are plenty of honest men in the mining game and a lot of money is honestly lost. But a great deal more never gets any nearer the prospect hole than the noeckets of the crook who sell§ it. If you want to invest money go to your banker or your lawyer and get his advice. Your banker may try to interest you in some stocks or bonds offered by the bond department of his bank. That's all right. You'll get your money's worth, anyway. But if you won’t buy his bonds he'll be honest with you about other investments. He probably knows more thaneyou do about investing—that’s his busi- ness, A lawyer may cost you $10 or $25.
