Erie General Lien Bonds

Question: have some Erie general lien
per cent bonds. They bought several
years ago. But they to be declining
steadily from the price paid for them
Would you advise selling them now and
placing the money in some other bend -
X. A. p.
Answer-Erie general lien per cent
bonds are not high class investment
They never were. The road is doing
very badly at present. Many others
are in the same situation. The bonds
have fallen to such a low level that
many holders are worried about the
outcome. The only thing that can save
Erie and many other roads is such
legislation and increase in freight
rates az will give them an opportunity
to show sufficient earning power to
cover at least the interest ON all their
funded debt. If you have confidence
that this will be done we should say
not to sell your bonds. II you fear
the outcome. there are many invest
ments showing good margin of
safety which may be purchased to
yield from to over Z per cent. Such
preferred issues as Central Leather
American Can, Corn Products and
United States Steel are in this class.
