FUNDAMENTAL STATISTICS 
KNOWN AS 
Babson’s Reports 
Relative to the Underlying Monetary, 
Mercantile and Investment Conditions 
We are able to supply and. distribute statistics on the subjects upon 
■which the Babson Composite Plots are based. These we supply to 
Stock Exchange Firms, Bond Houses, Mercantile Houses, Manufac 
turers and Investors. 
By a study of these data each week, one can readily ascertain for 
himself whether we are in a period of prosperity, a period of depression, 
or are passing from one to the other; and what should be the next 
major change in trade, money rates, commodity and investment 
prices. 
The cost of this information is very small in comparison with what 
it is costing firms to collect such data independently, and these figures 
are absolutely accurate and more up-to-date than if collected by 
subscribers independently. Following are the several services issued 
by the Babson Statistical Organization. 
MERCANTILE— 
A service for the manufacturer and merchant, showing favorable 
and unfavorable business conditions throughout the country, where 
to push sales, advertising, etc., together with an accurate, up-t.o-date 
report of specific industries and their probable trend. 
INVESTMENT— 
Designed for the conservative, intelligent investor desiring to 
obtain the maximum of profit with all losses eliminated, through a 
use of the “long swings.” 
COMMODITY— 
Distinctly different from the “Mercantile,” as it takes up specific 
commodities rather than industries, showing whether to buy or hold 
off, whether to stock up or liquidate. 
BANKING— 
A condensed service for bankers, treating of present bond purchases, 
commercial paper, money rates, etc., aiming to give all information in 
concise form. 
LABOR AND SOCIAL— 
A practical service, showing the trend of the strike and labor situa 
tion and discussing Labor, Social and Religious problems from all 
sides with a view to helping if possible to solve these questions for 
Employers, Employees and Social Workers. 
GENERAL SERVICE— 
A service providing important world wide business, real estate 
and investment information not otherwise discussed in the preceding 
services. Advance information on profitable opportunities through 
out the world.
