BIG RACECOURSE DIVIDEND. Many are the stories one hears of what led lucky investors to back rank outsiders which ' came in and paid big dividends. Here is the latest: A keen Edgeworth smoker visiting a country race-course was watching the horses parading before a race. Desiring his favourite smoke he pulled out his _ tin of Edgeworth and was immediately seized of the fact that the colours of his Edgeworth tin—blue and gold—were the colours of one of the jockeys in the race, the. horse he was riding paying a bumper dividend on the “tote.” The co-incidence tickled his fancy. “Well good . old Edgeworth has always proved a friend to me,’’ he remarked to himself. “I’ll let it prove a friend again.” Result : a pound on the “tote” on the blue and gold. A surprise victory. A thumping big dividend. A complacent Edgeworth smoker. —Advt.
