HALF A MILLION
BOUGHT IN CITY
Local Concern Showed Ability
to Handle LARGE issues
Of Bonds

That there is a banking institution
in wilmington with the ability to pur-
chase more than a half-million dol
lars worth Of the citys bonds within
one week evidently is a surprise to
many persons, yet that was the
achievement of the Equitable Guarantee
and Trust Company last week.
The company bought Sf30,000 Of
bonds issued for the benefit of the
Water Commission, and $4,000 Of
county bonds issued by the Levy
Court last week. The Equitable was
the only company that bid for the en-
tire issue of the city bonds, and also
was the only local institution bidding.
This shows that the Equitable Com
pany has confidence in the financial
standing of its home city. and this is
all the more marked when it is con-
sidercd that in New York, the financial
center of the world, last week S29,000,-
600 of municipal bonds were offered,
but no bids We're made for more than
81 100000 Of them.
