Cincinnati Gas and Electric IS

Question-Please advise ne as to the
security back OF the $4,000. GOO convertible
5 per cent secured sold notes Of the Gin
cinnat' Gss and Electric Company. Would
you consider them q safe investment? 7
understand they have never missed paying
dividends since 1853. I notice IN your
Information column in last Sundays issue
that you not strongly Impressed with
such high rates OF interest on home invest
nents when II comes TO question Of
sccurity.-R. Is. 3.
Answer-Cincinnati Gas and Electric
per cent notes. dated August (, 1921,
and due December l. 1922, are secured
by pledge of s7,5oo,ooo prior lien and
refunding Is of the company. These
prior liens and refunding rs are gen
eral mortgage on the entire property
subject to first and refunding IS, which
total $l2,227,0 600. For short term Sc
curity We think these are good in
vestment. It is possible to get safe
short term investments with a consid-
eraby higher rate than fifteen or
twenty year domestic issues Of equal
safety.

Question: have $500 I would like 70
invest In some good bond or preferred
stock. l have been considering the North
western Bell Telephons. VIII you kindly
acviss 5uat how this bond IS securods I
note II runs to I941. Does that mean the
bonds are rot callabls until that time or
are they callable before that time. snd
ct bow much? II 7 did not buy the
northwestern I was considering huvtnx
Union Pacific preferred or standard OF
o1 New Jersey. Please advise me In regard
20 tne last named Which do YOU think
would be the best buy for me III. I. %
Answer-In our opinion, you would do
well to buy the Northwestern Bell Tele-
phone Is, duo February 1. 1941. These
bonds arc callable at 1O7A. and then
only if the full issue is called. They
could be called on any interest data at
that price. Were they TO be called. how
ever, you would get clear profit of 6A
points on the recent market price. The
bonds are secured by q first mortgage
on the entire property constituting the
telephone plant of the Bell system in
Iowa, Minnesota, South Dakota and
Nebraska. We think both Union Pacific
preferred and Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey preferred are good investments, but
would advise you to buy the North
western Bell Telephone bonds.

Question--Wouid you give mo word d,
information and your Judgment conoerr-
ing investment values on the Pennsylvania
Ohio rs. United Drug Sc and Consolidated
Textile Ss7--W. S.
Answer-We think that Pennsvl-
vania- Ohio 71ss are a good investment
but would not be inclined TO recon
mend United Drug So. In the prescns
disturbed condition Of retail trade q
business such as is done by the Rexall
Stores and Liggett Drug Stores is
speculative. The Consolidated Textile
Corporation sinking fund IS, due 1881
were issued TO pay off per cent sink
ing fund notes. They are secured by q
first mortgage on the real estate and
equipment directly owned by the com
pany. We consider chem good in
vestment.

Question-will you kindly give mo your

ment? Also would you advise purchasing
the preferred stock or the company sell
Ing at about e5?-B II.
Answer-We think the Mississippi
River Power sinking fund debenture
7s, due 1885, are a good investment.
They are direct obligation of the
company only and are not secured by
mortgage. They are subject to s19,-
075,000 first s per cent bonds, due 1851.
We think the Mississippi River Power
Compsny's preferred stock Is g some

tric power com mpanies In territory offer

NEVADA CHILDREN TO
HELP HONOR GENERAL

RENO, New, Oct. t2,-U. N. So
! Nevada school children are the first in
the nation to be ready with their quota
of $50 worth of pennies to buy medal
for General Ferdinand Foch, Grand
Marshal of the Armies of France.
Two years ago the children were
asked, as part of national movement,
to give penny each to the amount of
800 for Il medal for General John j.
Pershng.
This they did, and the money has
since been available. but uncalled for.
Last night the state Committee in
Charge of the "Pershing Penny Fund
voted to give half of the money to help
purchase medal to present to the
great French soldier when he visits
America this fall, the other half to go
to the Pershing Medal Fund.
Accordingly the 500 has been for
Wardcd to w. J. Hunting, state Su-
perintendent of Schools, with re
quest that he send half of it to j. NJ.
llalstead, of New York, president of
the French Restoration Fund.
Replicas of the Foch medal will be
presented to President Harding and
General Pershng.
