Answer-Wc think all Of the bonds
that you have listed are good invest
ments. Some of them, however, meet
your requirements better than others,
and in making UP the bond list We
have, of course, taken into considera
tion the particular circumstances which
you describe and your wise limitations
as to safety before yield. Chicago
Union Station first mortgage 61ss. Ca
madam Northern Is, due 1870, guaran
teed principal and interest by the Ca
madam government; Government OF
Switzerland IS, due 1910; Northwest
ern Bell Telephone rs, due 1911; United
States Steel sinking fund rs, due 1863;
Westinghouse Electric and Manufac
turing Company rs, due 1881; Illinois
Central equipment trust rs, Puget
Sound Light and Power TVS, due 1911;
the three Standard Oil Of New Jersey
bonds you named and the Canadian Ma
cent certificates. In our opinion, these
bonds are such as can be held until
maturity with safety. Handle them in
this way and we believe that you will
be able to sleep soundly. After you
make your investment in them you will
have bought certain fixed income
coming to you at various times in the
year, The fact that market conditions
change the price Of your bonds as
quoted somewhat from day to day and
week to week can we'll be ignored.
Once or twice a year submit your list
to some one in whom you have conf
dence and tell him that you do not
want to change the list unless invest
ment conditions ha@ 50 radically
changed as to make aNne or more of
your bonds specqlaatt&&M We have tried
to provide you wstWa list which need
not be changed unless something quite
unforeseen takes place
