merits, but we cannot tell you how to
speculate on those merits, either before
you lose or afterward. If you cannot
afford to speculate or are losing sleep
over your commitments, sell out and

it may be that the shares have been

Associated Dry Goods Preferred

Question: have been advised to in
Xest n Associated Dry Goods first pre-
ferred. which at present prices yields
a bout 10 per cent, but am in doubt as
TO the safety OF the stock. 1t now sells
so very low. Neyerthleess 1 am Informed
that this stock has never failed to pay
dividends promptly, that 1t has first claim
on the assets of the company in case Of
dissolution. and that K enjoys equal voting
power with the other forms Of capital
stock of the company. WIN you please
explain to me why a stock Of such APP
parent merit should sell ct 40 per cent
dlscou0t?-P. r. r.
= Answer-The Associated DE- Goods
Corporation has no funded txa1t. and
therefore you are correct about the
position of the first preferred stock.
In 1916. the first year, the company
earned 1874 per cent on the first pre-
ferred; in 1917, HOS per cent; 1918.
1850 per cent; 1919, 1886 per cent
There is surplus of s4,679 600 The
stock is not seasoned. but in view of
the foregoing facts We regard it as
fairly safe. Money and credit con-
ditions, combined with market depres-
sion, are probably responsible for the
low selling price.
