Motion Picture X SUPERIOR BRAINS You have been taught to believe that the captains of Finance, Commerce, and Industry have attained the heights of power by virtue of "Superior Brains." Did you ever stop to consider that the railroads continued to run after the deaths of Harriman and Hill? That the banks continued to function after the elder Morgan departed this life? That the steel industry did not fall into chaos with the demise of Frick and Carnegie ; and that if as a result of some terrible calamity every capitalist in the country suddenly died, industry would not cease operations for one day? The reason the great industrial and financial Magnates of the past were powerful, and the present crop of money Wizards are now at the helms, is because they learned one great lesson: — the way to acquire wealth is to MAKE MONEY WORK Now this is rot an oil well scheme, nor land acclamation project, nor are we floating blue sky mining stock. We are operating a Bankers' Corporation, a Banking and Financial venture that is based on government statistics covering business history and the basis of our concern is the idea now agitating the minds of millions, (co-operation, instead of a few men running the whole show), we are inviting the average man into the venture. INVESTIGATE We do not ask you to do anything but investigate. We do not expect to convince you now, nor do we attempt to convince you by this advertisement. What we do expect to do, however, is to interest the man who is alive to real business facts, send for particulars — it means money to you. J.
