reduced bears out the statement
printed in this column a week ago.
Stewart Warner and other manu-
facturcrs Of automobile accessories
began to share the improvement in
business only within the past fort
night. Had no improveme ent been
shown 1t would have been necessary
to pass the dividend altogether.
J.. In some quarters new financing was
mentioned. The directors optimistic
statement however, gives hope that
the better business will continue and
that the 50 annual rate will be main

companies made q very poor show

notes have been highly recommend
ed. VIII this have any effect ON
the value of the notes?
Answer.-Not in the slightest.
The notes are backed by 10000, 900
pounds of copper taken at a value
Of ten cents a pound. The lowest
price in twenty years has been eleven
cents and is now about thirteen.
Exports in 1920 were 500, 900 900

day for him. If real estate is bought
right and managed properly it becomes
the best possible form of life insurance.
1T puts children through college. sets
them up IN business, and, as the wears
go by, builds for them q comfortable
fortune.
Pays to Improve Property
There is no better investment for
. man OF means, particularly with a
family of growing children, than some
centrally located corner property under
long~term net lease; for there is an
inevitable enhancement in value as the
years pass. This enhancement is a gift
to him from six million people of New
ork, who are working night and day
TO help him make his property more
valuable.
Centrally located business property
should yield minimum net return Of
40 per cent, if properly managed. Good
management is of almost as much i'm
portance as location, as it often con-
verts an undesirable property into an
income producing investment. 1t is the
business of the real estate man to
know the most advantageous uses to
which piece of property can be put,
and when he is called Into consultation IN
hC edH o1IcH suggest means Oh improve
rnent which were never dreamed of by
the owner.
The investing public is gradually
beginning to realize that good business
property offers enormous returns as a
permanent investment. Professional
men, or those engaged in some occupa-
tlon which has periodic limit, secure
an income for later life by investing
during their producing years Nor need
they always look far into the future
for their returns, for property rightly
selected. managed and financed has
been known to yield sufficient income
to pay back the entire investment with
interest in the fifth year of ownership.
Real estate properly handled must
yield returns, if it has been bought
with view to future growth. AS to
what it has actually done in the way of
building up fortunes you have only to
consider such holdings as those of the
Astors, Wendells, Rhinelanders and
Gerrys-which makes it hard to believe
that all Peter Minuet paid for Manhat-
tan was $24 in trinkets."
