*I.ast week Mr. Raskob announced his idea for a giant investment trust for small-capital men. Theory: Let a workman take, for example, $200 to the proposed trust. For $200 he would be allowed to buy $500 worth of stock, borrowing the other $300 from a bank or subsidiary company, with his stock as collateral. He would then repay the $300 at the rate of $25 a month. Thus might small-capital men, instead of spending on the installment plan for radios, motors, refrigerators, invest in installments in sound "rich-men's" securities.
