TALKS ON INVESTMENTS
Corporation Bonds. !

Tangible assets and earning power
are the real foundations for loans to
corporations of quasi-public nature,
although franchises of utility compan-
les serving the public are often of
great value because of the power to
earn in such grant itself.
Bonds of such corporations yield
good rate of interest, depending on the
ease or tightness of the money market.
They can afford 1t, as their net earn
ings usually allow of reasonable divi-
dends in addition to the fixed charges
incurred by issues of interest-bearing
bonds.
There is ample security in this class,
owing to the constant growth of wealth
and increase in density of population
served by such corporations. Their
earnings grow correspondence, and the
very situation that enables increased
dividends creates greater reserve pow
er for providing funds.
