business, outside of my salaried position
which, however. does not give me any re-
turn for my money yet but has pros
pects; i do not care to speculate, but
would like a larger return with safety than
am receiving at present. have not
neen able to save anything in the last
three years from my income I am will
Ing TO take your advice and follow It, and
am well aware that there is nothing
absolutely safe.--G. p. s.
Answer-Your investment in Liberty
bonds and United States Steel pre-
ferred is good. We do not advise you
to change these. We would leave the
$500 checking account intact. 1t is our
opinion that one should always have a
cash balance Of few hundred dollars
in the bank to meet any small emer-
gency. With the $4,000 which YOU now
have in savings banks we advise you
to invest in the following bonds: One
Illinois Central Railroad a, due 1851
(Western lines first mortgage), recent
ly selling around 85; one Chicago
Union Station 6h, due 1868, recently
selling around 106; one New York Cen
trail Z, due 1880, recently selling
around 81; one French TX (non-call-
able), due 194i, recently selling around
o. one General Electric debenture 6,
due 1910, recently selling around 101.
and one Bell Telephone of Pennsylva-
MIA 7, due 1915, recently selling around
105. We believe that these bonds will
meet your requirements as to security
and return. You will realize a return
of between 612 and per cent on your
investment, and this we do not consider
too high TO be incompatible with rea-
sonable degree of safety

Apologies to Great Northern rs

Cuestion-As you placed Great Northern
recently I thought it advisable to ask
you about 1t. 1t sold to me as a
safe investment for a widow dependent on
her income and particularly desirable be-
cause not callable. I sell without a
loss il you think I ought to substitute
something else for It. 1t represents a very
small portion of my capital but 1 want
only good. conservative investments. l ex-
pect TO buy Chicago Union Station 6 Us be-
Cause you recommend it; also New York
Central Is, Standard Oil Of California 7s
and Westinghouse 7s If you consider them
suitable for me-Mrs. A. S.
Answer-We consider Great North
ern rs good investment We do
not think they have quite the high de-
gree of security that the Northern
Pacific Great Northern 67as have, but
nevertheless they are a good inve ST.
ment. We often get lists of high grade
bonds which it is difficult to arrange in
order of preference, and, in fact, we
try to make it clear that it is often a
mere matter of personal preference
which ranks one bond ahead of another.
1t might quite well be that in list OF
very high grade bonds we would put
quite 8 number ahead OF Great North
ern rs without intending in the slight
est to reflect on it's desirability as an
investment. For instance, if YOU had
asked us to rate the list that you men
ton we would put Chicago Union Sta
ton first, New York Central rs next
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac-
turing rs would follow, and after that
would come Standard Oil of California
and then the Great Northern rs, and
we would advise the purchase of the
whole list

The Pennsylvania-Oh Power and

Put $4,000 Into Fisheries

Question-Tell me If you can something
about the Fisheries Products Company
What do you think of 1t investm- mt
Do you think the company solvent at this
time9 l bought this month last year STA
$50 worth OF the stock at SIS per share.
The par value Is $40 per share. This com
pany paid Is per cent for two years prior
to 1920; 1920 they paid 10 per cent. I
paid cash for the stock mentioned. l
bought $35 600 more and gave my notes
with the understa nding that the saiesma n
was to resell ii for me at SIS per share
that l bought on time. The banks that
hold my notes want the money for the
stock that I bought time. I am un-
able to pay | haven't any property other
than the stock | paid cash for. I have
transferred this to my wife. Tell me
whether the people who hold my notes for
this stock attach or bother in any
way the stock that have paid for?-G. l..
Answer-There is no market that we
know of for Fisheries Products stock
There is little doubt in our mind, how
ever, that SIS was fancy price for
the common. If you gave your note
you will have to pay the note unless
there was fraud. We doubt if the
transfer of the stock to your wife will
protect you, though that is legal
question. 1t is good rule to shun
any man who sells you stock with the
assurance that he will resell it for you
later at a higher price.

To figure the precise yield on a bond 1t
is necessary to yield tables, but the
Approximate Yield can roughly be figured
out by the following formula: Divide the
closing quotation on bond into the rate
OF interest II pays, and the result will be
the annual return II the bond is setting
below par you must allow also FOR the
appreciation OF the principal. To do this
subtract the market quotation from par
or 90. and divide the remainder by the
mum Der OF years the bond has 10 run be-
fore maturity. For example. II per
cent bond Is selling at 80 and has ten
years 10 run, the annual return will be
5S6 per cent. The difference between par
ana the market price will be 10 polntz.
