terest, had sold on the New York
stock exchange at SiO2.5O, is a Nigh
ty interesting and reassuring lesson
For a whole lot of people thru
out the country have been looking
doubtfully at their bonds of late.
They've been questioning their
value and their own wisdom in
having invested in them. They've
deemed it a losing purchase.
It has taken the monied men of the
country TO show them their error.
For these men of money, who ap-
preciate all the finer points Of fin
anciering, are the fellows who are
buying up this early issue in such
quantities that they are forcing the
price considerably above par.
