CURTISS AFROPLANE.
Its Position Better Than Wright
Martin

Although Curtiss had a decline TO
around 10. not many shares were
sold at that level. and we believe
that the low price was not justified
by the strong position OF Curtiss in
the aeroplane field and its control by
the WHY'S Overland company.
The writer prefers Curtiss COM
mon TO Wright Martin common for
long pull: and in the case. of the
preferred stocks OF both companies,
considers them in the bargain class
so far as semi-investments are con-
cerned. CurtisS is perhaps more
strongly placed than Wright Martin.
and il you have confidence in the
aeroplane industry. we would sug-
gest Curtiss rather than Wright
Martin as slightly more conservative
I'm this class.
Regarding your comment on our
methods we wish 10 say that we
have no interest in securities % any
kind. and these many years have
been giving our subscribers the ben
eft OF our conscientious opinions.
We are not helping TO distribute
stocks or securities for anyone. and
our advertising pages are particu-
larry clean from any suggestion OF

These are all attractive. but we
would point. out that you desire

Il want to average Z per cent and
protect the capital from fluctuation.'
Frankly, we do not think this can be
done upon per cent basis. You
would nave 10 include some we'll for
titled common stocks like sChesa-
peake & Ohio, American Telephone.

mining stocks like Anaconda. etc.
Seven per cent is not a fair return
to expect from a very high grade

tuate.
We believe that all the above can
be purchased now with confidence.

NEW DEVELOPMENTS

we believe il is a bargain anywhere

The earnings on the stock were

In holding dividend payer like
New Haven, you are really losing

would also favor dividend paying
