Now here is a story told me this past week. A lady said she bought a franchise—didn’t tell me the nature of the franchise—-to discover right after she’d paid for it that the president of the concern was a fraud. And so, the investigator downtown asked her to secure a photostatic copy of the check she paid. But, she said, “I couldn’t produce it because it was a check given to me by Bache and Co., the brokers. They sold some stock of mine for a little over $3,000, and I took that check and endorsed it over to the person with the company for the franchise, and I couldn’t produce the check. That was in the company of Bache. But I applied this principle towards it and kept on working on it, just as you teach. Four months went by and Bache called me up and said that “the check issued to you for over $3,000 has not passed through the bank, therefore, we have put a stop on it, it’s too long, and now we will issue you another check.” And so, she got every penny back. How that check did not go through, who knows? She said, “I’ve never heard of it before, but, nevertheless, I have all the money that I gave this so-called fraud.”238 ¶25
