Summary: Advertisement from the New York Stock Exchange featuring a black-and-white photograph of immigrants at Ellis Island.  The copy describes the role of immigrants in the growth and success of America; "generation after generation they prospered, took root, grew with the nation--in crafts, in the professions, in government, in agriculture, in businesses large and small.  As thrifty investors, they backed their confidence in the nation with their savings."  A text box at the bottom of the page informs potential investors in the stock market that companies "have agreed to report, regularly, facts essential to reason investment decisions.  Get these facts...use them.  They are your best protection against unnecessary risk."
