Nevertheless, is the collecting of stamps an invest-ment?" Let us not be misled by wild and unfounded claims.It is pleasing to reflect that if we had bought a couple ofsheets of the Norse American stamps when they werefirst issued in 1925 our investment of seven dollars wouldtoday be worth several hundred dollars.

But this is hindsight, a daydream we indulgein to idle away a few moments — not one to which weattach serious importance. |
