Thoughtful Investor Considers Swap

Question--As a reader OF your column
with interest 'and with the admission that
would be 40 per cent better off if I had
followed your general advice and warn
ings) will you let me have your IDEAS of
tho following? hold forty shares oe
Mergenthaler bought six years ago at 21o
This stock is sold on the Boston and
Washington exchanges 1t pays 10 per
cent and is now around 1870. AS far IS
can learn It is in good condition. and
its dividend rate. DO YOU think in view
Of the way the stock has fallen away. that
swap to Computing, Tabuiating and Re
payer. at Al would be a sensible change
for long haul? DO you consider the {
per cent bonds Of Computing. Tabulatins
and Recording at so a well secured bond
for conservative investment purposes?
hold forty shares of Steel common IN
view Of the poor general outlook for bus
ness in general do YOU think to swap in
$4,000 bonds OF the Chesapeake & Ohio 8
per cent convertible would be a wise move
especially as the railroad outlook appears
so much better for the good roads at
present?--G. NJ. A.
Answer - While the N1ergenthaler
Linotype Company has paid liberal
dividends for several years me margin
OF earnings over dividend payments has
not been very large In fact, in two in
stances during the last ten years, it
was necessary to go into surplus ac-
count to make the payments. However.
the company carries good sized sur
plus, $7,477,0SS, the capital being SIP
100000. Last year the company earned
l3 per cent and paid 10 per cent. On
the other hand, the COMPUTING. Tabu-
lating and Recording Company has
shown considerable increase in earn
ings, and surplus has risen from s..
1869 in 1913 to S598S, ,SO7 in March.
1920. Before taxes the company earned
for the year ended March 81, 1920, the
equivalent of $3.50 8 share on the
l04,S27 capital shares against S17.72 for
the previous year This stock is sensi-
tive to earnings, of course. So is Mer-
genthaler stock, for that matter. vet
we believe for your purposes the
change is not bad one. The 6 Der
cent bonds are secured by derosjt of
stocks of subsidiary companies. Bond
interest has been earned from Az times
to about 634 times for the last four
years We regard them as a good in
vestment. United States Steel is
speculative, being sensitive to earn
ings. You would, we think, improve
Your investment position if you pur-
chased the Cincinnati Ohio bonds
The latter are not of the best grade
but the road is good one and has. we
think, great possibilities.

Railroad service-both passenger:
and freight-is rapidly returning
to a pre-war basis. The goal of
50 miles per freight car per day
has been almost reached, and
passenger trains are running close
to schedule.
1t is possible that the best traffic
and loading records of the past
will be broken if the improve
mentin service can be continued.
To help accomplish the desired
results a greater percentage Of

This means that new, modern
locomotive tcrminals-weu
equipped to handle minor, stitch
in-time repairs with speed and
economy, provided with proper

to turn engines quickly-must
be provided.
Our long experience in cooper
