Schwab, died a pauper.

Hopson, is insane.
3. The President of the N.Y.S.E., Richard Whitney, was

abroad, penniless.
5. The President of the Bank of International Settlement

6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Rivermore, 
died of suicide.

The same year, 1923, the winner of the most important

CONCLUSION:  STOP WORRYING ABOUT BUSINESS 
AND START PLAYING GOLF!
