The present pamphlet is the fifth in a series

of yearly publications containing predictions

and prophecies for the coining year. The first

was issued in the fall of 1931, covering theyea r of 1932. Each fall since then on e of these

booklets has been prepared and issued weeks

before the beginning of the year.

Before the first few months of 1932 had

passed, so many of the predictions made in the

booklet for that year were being fulfilled that

a great demand arose for additional copies, and

throughout the year 1932 our first booklet was

reprinted by newspapers and magazines and

ordered in great quantities by large institutions

for general distribution. Edition after edition

of these booklets has been printed and circu-

lated each year not only by us but by many

large firms, banking institutions, and humani-tarian movements. The accuracy of the state-

ments made in these books and the general

interest in them has made them not only pop'

ular with many hundreds of thousands of

persons in the United States and in some for-

eign countries, but has caused them to be an-

ticipated year by year.

Reliable Basis

It is to be noted that the predictions and

prophecies contained in these booklets are not
