"You say they advise you on money matters. How do they do that?"
"They advise my uncle through me to sell stock in a certain company and buy in another. They told me to withdraw my money from my California bank and put it into this Universal Traction Company."
"Did you do that?"
"Yes."
"I'm sorry. I wish you wouldn't take their advice. I wish you would put your money back where it came from at once."
"Why?"
"Because it scares me to think of your going into anything on my mother's advice."
"But it wasn't your mother's advice. It was the advice of a great financier."
"You mean a dead financier?"
"Yes."
