Scope and Content

This is a letter from the Addis Finance Corporation to Frank H. Wassmann dated 09/17/1929. It is touting an opportunity for him to make money in the stock market. "Right now the stock market is alive with profit-making opportunities." The letter is dated about 6 weeks before the 1929 stock market crash which saw 16 million shares traded and billions of dollars lost. Hopefully, Mr. Wassmann did not take them up on their offer.
