Mistaken About Frisco Income Gs

Question: thank you for information
concerning the following st. houis & San
Francisco income mortgage per cent gold
bonds Series duo July !, 1860, interest
payable October Of each year. con these
bonds hnd there has been no interest
paid in several years) Russian state So
p.r cent short torn wa loan ISSUED in
1915 for a nominal amount of . 2.000.N00. 0OU
rubles Cle description is taken from d
uon OF the Russian description Wright
Aeronauucal Corporation nifty shares. VIII
YOU please tell me what the above arr
worth at the present time, and also hor,
really is2-H II. G.
Answer-You are mistaken regarding
the st. Louis-San Francisco income s
per cent bonds. Interest of 6 per cent
has been regularly paid, once d year, in
October, since reorganization of the
road. The bond is the last lien on TIE
property and interest IS paid only if
earned and is not cumulative. The
bond is therefore speculative, as you
can see. 1t sold as high as so last
week, but the Sc interest came off the
bond October l. The Russian y per
cent internal loan due 1925 is .iuoted
here at present for about S25 per 900
rubles. Interest is not being paid ow-
ing to the chaotic state of RUSSIA. What
the outcome will be we cannot attempt
to say. The Wright Aeronautical Cor
pc1atlon stock is the result of the out
come of the international Motor Truck
Corporation organization. The com
pany is making aeroplane engines and
is building plant for the purpose now,
leasing part of the international
Motor Truck plant at Plainfeld. The
outfit is, Of course, small at present.
The company issues no financial state
ment. so it is not possible to give an
opinion on the stock 1t sells at pres
emit for about s. a share

Sweets COMPANY

Question: would thank You to give me
the sweets Company of America S. r
Answer-The Sweets Company of
America was incorporated in Virginia
in June, 1919, to acquire all the prop
erty of the old company Of the same
name, which included the entire capital
stock of the Lance Cough Drop Com
pany, Inc. The company manufactures
Tootsie Rolls, Nut Tootsie Rolls and
the Lance Cough Drops. The company
has paid no dividends yet. Outstand-
ing capital stock amounts to $3,000,0 600,
par value 80. Recent earnings are said
to have been adversely affected by the
lower price for sugar, as the company
is said to have stocked up at higher
prices

Question: shall Very much appreciate
your kindness in giving me your advice
whether you consider a safe Investment the
shares Of the American Can preferred sell
ing now at about $50 and 3..l ldin5 about
~ per cent. or would you rather suggest
the Standard OIL of New Jersey pr ferred
IS much safer Investment. although
yielding considerably less interest p
NJ. G. l..
Answer-We consider all the bonds
you mention of good grade We would
rank them as follows: Pennsylvania 7
per cent United States Rubber 5 per
cent and American Smelling 5 per cent.
We do not REGARD American Can pre-
ferred as highly as Standard Oil pre-
ferred. The stock is not seasoned. al
though we see no present reason for
apprehension regarding the dividend.
If you would INCEST we'll you should in
vest only in the seasoned issues.

Marlard Refining Plans Merger

Question--What is your opinion Of Mar
land Refining Company's stock? DO you
consider it safe investment?--J. p D.
Answer Marland Refining has paid
its stockholders substantial dividends
in cash and in stock. The shares,
however. must be put in the specula-
tive class. The company is large and
we'll managed. At the present time a
plan for consolidating with the Kay
County Gas Company. through the
formation of a large holding corpora
ton, is nearing completion. The
merger has been approved and an ap-
praisal is now being made of the prop
critics.

your opinion of Quaker Oats preferred at

Answer Railroad shares appear to
be doing rather we'll these days. If
you can afford to speculate we see no
reason for selling Wabash stock at
present. Wait and see what the road
will do under the new rates. Quaker

grhblY and are also good as Investments

(Miss) NJ a. T.
Answer-Pure Oil common stock is
a speculative issue 1t may be a good
thing to buy and then again it may not.
That is the trouble with speculative
stocks If YOU wish to invest your
funds we think YOU would do better to
