always glad to welcome H. B., as he
is known to his Clare friends and
those all the way from Oxford to
Mackinac Island.
Rev. Johnson was then presented as
toastmaster and 'responded by saying
that he considered it a real privilege
to be back in his home town among
his many friends and pleasant associations. He stated that he was happy
the people of this district had elected
John to the Legislature and expressed
his confidence in him.
H. B. recalled the night the hotel
was dedicated and he as Secretary of
the Clare Chamber of Commerce
turned the deed over to the late Hon.
A. J. Doherty. He announced that
T. F. Marston, veteran Secretary-!
Manager of the Eastern Michigan
Tourist Association, had been elected
to the office for' life; and thanked
local E.M.T.A. Directors Art Damoth
and Harold Fleming for the splendid
reception of the tour members, stating
that they were, the best kind of directors of the association and worthy of
reelection another year with additional gold stars on their credentials.
He continued that he considered
the event here a real climax of a
wonderful tour which included in its
itinerary Detroit, "Pontiac, Silver Valley at East Tawas, Alpena where they
spent'Saturday night, Hillman, Lewis-

On the way the boy told Lovett that

came immediately to Evart where
Lovett had detained the^boy,
When the State Policy arrived the
lad became frightened and confessed
that the girl was not his sister but
a' girl friend and schoolmate with
whom he was running' away from

He claimed that he and the girl had
spent the night with his grandmother
at Harrison, and when, the State

the girl being with him to his grandmother, he said that he told her he
and the girl were riding with the girl's
parents and that when their ear was
wrecked he and the girl hitch-hiked
on to Harrison.
He told different stories and gave
different names, but finally told the

five Banquet at Twin
4 Elms Club
./-'One hundred and twenty-five-men,
representing practically every type of
qfusiness and profession in , Clare,
-turned out Tuesday evening in response, to the calf of Stuart. Bicknell,
newly elected President of the Clare
Chamber of■ Commerce, to get behind
him and really do things for Clare and
the -community during the coming
year. '
The occasion was the regular January-meeting of the Chamber, held at
the new Twin Elms Club, and was incidentally the first regular meeting at
which Stuart presided as President
and which he personally supervised.
Following invocation by Rev. Albert
Dawe and the delicious dinner, President Biekneir called the meeting to
order aiid presentd Austin Bates, the
newly elected Secretary of the group,
who briefly outlined the program for
the year. It is hoped that the February meeting in charge of Director O.
D. Bayes can be held in some nearby
rural community that the work of the
Chamber of Commerce can be carried
directly to the farmers who. are the
backbone of this community's commerce and greatest consumers of the
products of the city's business. Mr.
Bates urged the cooperation of the
membership of the Chamber, and
those who are not members but should
be, in the meetings and business of
the organization during the coming
year,
Tim Cotter, who has made himself
an enviable reputation as a very successful "roastmaster," was presented
as toastmaster and called on Jack
Hall to lead in group singing, with
Keith Hunter at the Storytone Electric Piano. James Gillespie then
favored the audience with two very
heartily applauded concertina numbers.
Art Damoth, who has attained a
reputation for very diplomatically introducing guests, was called upon to
act in this capacity.
Jack Hall then sang a solo, "Home
Town," in his pleasing manner,* ae-j
companied by Keith Hunter, and responded with an encore.
Tim Cotter than announced that the
date had not yet been set for last
year's annual Golf Club banquet and
expressed his wish that it might soon
be held.
Mayor of the City of Clare, State
Representative,- Chairman of the Clare
County Board of Supervisors, Chairman of the Clare County Fair Board.,
Com,mander of the American Legion,
our5own John W. Dunlop. (just Jack to
Mayor Symons of Saginaw) was then
presented with a few references to
his finesse in horsemanship. He welcomed the group in general and particularly Mayor John W. Symons,
President of Symons Bros., and a
past President of the Saginaw Board
of Commerce; Alfred Hudson, Assistant Secretary of the Saginaw Board
of Commerce; and E. L. Reichle,
President of Reichle Supply Co., all
of Saginaw, and the local "oldtimers"
who were present, saying that Clare
folks always turn ont when a bunch
comes over from Saginaw, whom they
feel are just .neighbors that they visit
occasionally.
Mayors Symons was then presented
as the speaker of the evening and
opened his remarks by reading an impressive little poem concerning the
singing of the National Anthem, and
stated that- the meeting was evidence
of a spirit of cooperation.
He explained the City Manager
form of Government as set up and
brought into being in Saginaw by the
Board of Commerce, stating that
though it was more applicable to
larger communities it would eventually be used in smaller cities. He said
that this type of government, patterned after that of corporations, produced better men and better results
with a comparatively low outlay of
salaries, through the spirit of cooperation, and the services of City
Managers experienced in their line
of business. He mentioned the possibilities of County Government lined
up. In this form.
Mr. Symons recalled the old Calkins
House with the geraniums in its windows and his acquaintance with Jim
Bicknell before he entered the merchandising business, comparing the
merchandising methods of those days
to tfae present.' He said that the members .of the Chamber of Commerce
were the men that Clare looked to for
future development and that in Central Michigan Clare stands out like a
lighthouse at sea.
He paid tribute to the late A. J,
Doherty, James S. Bicknell, and all
men who are anxious to build for the
future, of the city, saying that this
meeting wafr just the1 beginning of
what Stuart Bicknell' could do, arid
,, closed'his "talk which proved very in-

CLARE KIWANIANS
HEAR INVESTMENT
BANKERS TOBEY
Representative of Investment .Bankers Ass'n
Here Wednesday
. ^-* -
Local Kiwanians were favored with*
the opportunity of hearing an outstanding individual in the world of financed
at their dinner meeting Wednesday
evening, when following the serving;
of the dinner and group singing lead;
by Jack Hall, President Theo/G*.
Bowler turned the meeting over to-1
Donald E. Holbrook to present Clta<-
ton Tobey, Manager of the Investment
Department of A. H. Vogel & Com- ■
pany, Detroit Investment Bankers, as
speaker of the evening.
Mr. Tobey is a graduate of Cornell
University a previous vice president
of Baker, Simons & Company, and a
regular contributor to the "Michigan
Investor," with seventeen years experience in investments,
-Coming here as a representative of
the Investment Banker's Association:
of America, he chose as his topic
"The Function of the Investment Bank- •
er," and related the functions of this;"
group, whose business is of utmost
importance to everyone at all time,,
but particularly in the present National Defense Program, in putting private ■
savings to work in productive enter- ,
prise, if our unemployed are to be
put to work and our National Defense
needs produced.
The speaker stated that the supply
of capital for industry was more important now because of the activity of
the Defense Program and that free-
play of individual effort was responsible for industrial progress, using a*
an example the development of the
petroleum resources of this area.
He said "our standard of living is
largely determined by the amount of -
goods we have generally available'
among ourselves and the rate with
which we circulate them. We can only
increase that standard by increasing:
circulation and amount of goods avail-'"'
able to us. This can only be done by-
Improving the efficiency of land,
labor* capital and management.
"Tiie factors which promote the-
production and "circulation of goods-
are a sound medium, of exchange,,
which must rest on a Sound, governmental fiscal policy, and the free flow
of capital, goods into production. A.
sound medium of exchange (money) is
not created by government, but is.
kept sound by government."
Mr. Tobey continued, "The funda^
mental principles of investment have-
not changed since Bible Times and;
that the first thing asked is, how dependable Is source of income? and:
then, How much am I willing to pay?-
Today in this country approximately
80 per cent of the production and;
distribution of goods is carried on by-
business organized on a corporate
basis. These corporations issue securities in the form of bonds and stocks
Whereby on one side the public
through its investment participates in-
the productive enterprise <of the country and on the other industry puts-
massed capital to work through quan.-
tity production on an efficient basis-
"A bond represents, to the issuer, w.
liability calling for repayment in dolr
lars; to the owner it represents a loan-
which calls for payment at some
future date together with interim payments for the use of the funds. Com^
mon stock represents ownership in .ai
business.
"From the investors standpoint, the
purpose of securities is to carry value
forward,- that is, carry the reward of
sacrifices and denials forward to some-
future time. To the issuers of securities the purpose is to put into productivity the capital which they have-
been able to obtain through acquiring
the purchasing power of those to-
whom they have issued securities.
"There a,re many people of ability
and experience and fine houses in the
investment business. Any investor
(or business) can easily find a reliable-
firm with which to do business. Investment bankers, as a profession*,
have no time for the man who, for example, trades a widow out of conservative securities into speculative ones.
Nor have they any sympathy for the-
man who will buy securities frOm a
higb. pressure salesman over the telephone and then wonder why he owns.-
so many poor issues.
"We have in the state of Michigan
and many other states, as well as in-
the federal government, commissions
which supervise the issuance of ww
securities and regulate the business,
done in those already outstanding.
Here in Michigan we are fortunate in>
having an able and cooperative com--
misston."
Miv Tobey closed his very interesting ;
and informative talk by saying, "Its;'-
