PLAN STATE GROUP
TO GUARD INVESTORS
MEETING    ANNOUNCED    FOR    COLUMBUS EXPECTED TO PROVIDE MACHINERY FOR
PROTECTION
Organization ot a state-wide bureau
for the protection of investors of rural
districts and small cities Is expected
to result from a meeting of county
representatives to be held In* Columbus, November 2. More than 20 counties ln the state are expected to be
represented when the group comes together, and the organization proposed
will effect a Joining together of efforts
already undertaken to guard against
"blue sky" securities and fraudulent
promoters.
Ten Oblo counties now have investment service bureaus formed within
their borders for such protection, according to a statement made recently
by the investigation department of the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation. The
organizations, already formed represent the joining of farm bureaus,
granges, eivlc and business men's associations, banks and building and
loan associations.
In addition to the ten counties
where an investment service bureau
Is already formed, ten others have
taken preliminary steps toward protecting those In their counties against
worthless securities. Representatives
of farm and other organizations In a
number of other counties which have
not proceeded with actual organization work have favored the plan, and
will probably join in the work of the
proposed organization.
The purpose of the suggested bureuu, as outlined by backers of the
movement. Is to make available to the
Investing public In the territory covered all Information possible on tbe
merits of current offerings of securities. Various material designated to
Inform small Investors on the value of
different kinds of securities Is also
proposed. The state organization will
act as a clearing house of Information
and assistance to the different county
groups, and conduct investigations.
