securities for love Of money.
Last month, another big promotion
house. which for a quarter of a century
or SO had handled public utility bonds
and other similar securities, fell into
bankruptcy. There's are outstanding a
great many million dollars worth Of
bonds IN which this house was interested.
Up to the present time no bondholder
has been obliged to wait for his interest
and 1t is practically taken for granted
that there will not be a default in pay
ment of interest on any Of these securi-
ties at any time. Actually. il one should
want to sell them 1t is possible to get a
reasonable bid for them. though not. of
course, as good bid as could have been
obtained little while ago.
That Is .he difference between q dis
honest failure of a promotion house. and
an honest bankruptcy Of a promotion
house. In the one case there was the
manifest desire and intention to sell Sc
curities to the public for more than they
were worth. In the other case there ives
