Not Of Seasoned Variety

Question-Would like your opinion or the
preferred stocks listed below. have about
81 900 To invest and am thinking Of pur-
chasing about three shares each of these
stocks. Buying them in this way. of course,
will limit the risk, but what I want TO know
is whether any Of them should be cut out 4:
Three shares WHY'S Overland preferred
shares Cities Service preferred. 15 shares

Answer-The stocks you have listed
all return rather high yield. For that
reason they are not entitled to the
rating Of many other preferred issues
which we mention from time to time.
Most Of the stocks in the list have not
weathered years OF financial depro ssion.
Many Of them are products of the war
period. While the earnings at present
arc good, it remains TO be seen for how
long time they may keep them IN.
There IS & certain amount OF specula
ton IN them on that account We do
not want you to infer from this that
these stocks are not safe They prop
ably are safe, but they do not represent
the best in preferred issues.

HOW JOHNSON

"The situation with the express
business is different from that of the

simply guaranteed the present COM

the next six months, instead of guar

three years, as has been done with
the case of the railroads. Bat no
service can survive if it is operated
at deficit, and so we feel 1t is nee
