Time To Sink SeIf-Irterest.
THE investment made by the Two
Republics company, which. by the
way. is an FL Paso concern, vas made
in the same spirit The funds of the
company could have been invested in
securities which would have yielded a
much higher rate of interest, but the
officers. of which I am one, made up
their minds that this was a time to
sink self in the interest Of the public
good.
IN this connection it might be well
to call attention 10 the fact that the
new bonds. though they bear but ; IL
percent interest are a very good in
vestment- The bonds are free from
taxes OF all kinds and viewed in that
light are as good an investment so
far as return is concerned as are
many securities bearing much higher
rates of interest For that reason
those who invest their money in them
are not to be regarded altogether as
philanthropists- For the man or
