We consider both the Detroit United

look favoraby on French Republic SIS De

and what others 10 make up the amountH
Would YOU recommend the purchase $50
OF bout 81 900 each OF NJ iddlc States on.
Siudebaker common and American To
bacco B?-E. r. b
Answer-We think that the French
SIS, De Laval separator SIS and United
States Rubber 712s are good invest
ments, but would not recommend Mid
die States Oil. Studebaker common or
American Tobacco B. although the lat
ter is q good common stock. In ad-
diton 10 the three bends you have
mentioned. we would suggest Kingdom
of Belgium SIS. Danish Consolidated
Municipal IS, Otis Steel Company first
s. /. IS and Puget Sound Power and
Light s, and would suggest that you
also put part of tho money in some
of tho high grade preferred stocks,
such as Standard Oil of New Jersey
preferred, Corn Products preferred and
American Locomotive preferred. The
Weld on these latter will be below s
per cent, but we think they arc thor
oughly good investment and lend di-
versity and therefore added safety TO
your list.

question of what proportion Of your
9oo'ooo should be invested in good pre-
TERED and common stocks. This
Drought up the question of whether
you should attempt to increase your
capital by making investments which
seem to promise chance of anprecia
ton IN price in the future, say in ten
years; or whether you should make
your one object the fixaton of salts
factory income from your investments.
WIN utter disregard of price apprecia-
tlon except so Iar as it affects the
yield on your investments. In other
words, should you conline your atten-
tlon TO straight investments, or should
you include IN your purchases an ele-
ment Of speculation
In selecting q list Of stocks amount
ing to $4,000 and list of bonds
amounting TO not quite $4,000. YOU
nave shown speculative tendency. By
speculation we mean in this case moth
ing more than the exercise of YOUR
selective Judgment for the purpose Of
picking stocks whose companies have
excellent chances Of making great
strides in the next ten or twenty
years. We lndorse your position. We
believe that q business man who has
$4,000 to invest has a right to invest
in good common stocks But We dis
agree with your proportion. You are
looking for an inves tmcnt first of all
as we understand it. We think that
you should put $40 600 in the bonds
which we have mentioned and the re-
mainder in preferred stocks-at leust
half in preferred, and we urge little
more than half
We think that the stocks which YOU
have selected make an excellent list
We are inclined to advise YOU to put
American Tobacco common in place OF
Anne ricarD' obacco preferred, for We
have a good deal Of confidence in the
common and think it may prove an
attractive speculation. The preferred
is. Of course, a high grade investment
You figured your yield on General
Electric on the basis OF the cash divi-
dena. The stock dividend should be
onsidered too. The cash value of the
dividend under the new plan will be
above $40 at prices now prevailing
We would leave out Bethlehem pre-
ferred and put Canadian Pacific in it's
place. As other common stocks we
suggest Anne rcan Locomotive and
Union Pacific. The prices which you
quote, Of course. have changed some
what since you wrote to as.
