Smith Rubber and Tire

Question--As reader OF The Tribune /
am going to ask you for the favor of fur
nishing me with any information you may
Smith Rubber and Tire Company, GARFIELD,
N. j., and the Victor Page Motors Corpo-
ration. Assuring you that any information
you care to give me will be very greatly
appreciated,--N. s.
Answer-The income statement of
the Smith Rubber and Tire Company
for the period from April /, 1921, to
April 80, 1922, shows gross sales of
s33S,951.57 and. after payment of ex-
penses and charges, net income of
$5,030.70. Dividends amounting to
$6,323.40 were paid, resulting in a def
cit for the period mentioned of ST.
2s2.70. An examination of the balance
sheet of the company does not reveal
any equities for the common stock.
The treasurer says the company is not
offering any securities for sale and has
not sold any for more than year,
There are issued and outstanding SOL
shares of preferred stock of $40 par
value and 225,453 shares of common
stock of SIS par value. No provision
has been made for depreciation Of prop
erty, which is carried at $329,S91.93. A
mortgage Indebtedness of $5S,333.34
exists and current liabilities are $780,
1926 against current assets, includ-
ing inventories of 99,993.52. The stock
therefore is highly speculative. Re-
liable information as to the Victor
Page Motors Corporation is unavailable
beyond the fact that a recent offering
of 100000 shares was made at 50 a
share and the stock is now selling
around Ia cents a share. 49,

opinion of the following named conapa al 30

iore safety of principal Is Desired
AnswcrIf it is necessary that
safety of principal be your first con-
sideration We would not suggest the
purchase of stock of either OF the COM
panies you mention. American La
France Fire Engine Company manufac-
lures fire engines, trucks and appara-
tus at Bloomfield, N. j. Earnings have
been satisfactory since organization,
enabling the payment of per cent an
nually on the preferred and present
rate of 10 per cent on the common
stock. Central Arizona Light and
Power Company conducts a gas, cleo
trio light and power business in
fhoenlx, Ariz., and has paid per cent
dividends on its preferred stock since
organization in 1920. This stock and
American La France preferred we re-
gard as business mems investments
and for your purpose the selection of
5000 Pere Marquette IS, 1866, would
give you sound security that more
nearly meets your requirements. Amer
lean La France common stock is too
speculative to be suitable, in our
opinion.

me American Wooden Company YES
serday announced the withdrawal of all
Its fancy worsteds sold through De

as 2 surprise to the clothing and cloth
trades. Tt was well known that tbe
american, the market leader, was In a
well sold position on its women's wear
!aorles, which were withdrawn few
Gays ago, and on mems wear woolens.
II was expected that woolens would he

a few factors in the fancy worsted

reported, We're withdrawn shortly after
being opened, not because of sold-nn
production, but because of the lack of
interest IN the goods at the prices
quoted, The clothing trade is under
stood to be in the market chiefiy for

Worsteds were strongly featured in the

Radio Preferred Dividends

Question---Would be very much indebted
70 you for replies to the following ques-
poration of America good speculative
Investment at lie for preferred stock ?
of Radio Corporation 1T reads; After the
the calendar year 1928 such dividends on
the preferred stock shall be cumulative
and all arrears of preferred dividends
thereafter shall be paid before any divi-
apart for the common stock" Does this
clause mean that no dividends whatever
shall be paid on the preferred stock from
the time of organization of the company to
the end Of 1929 and that t is only be
ginning with January, 1924. that dividends
at the rate Off per cent become cumula-
tive? In other words, does interest on
the preferred stock start TO accrue only
in January. 19247 What is your opinion
of the personnel and marketing organiza-
ton of Radio Corporation? Is it aggres-
sively mana ged SO that the company will
get the. lions share of the business from
the Canadian PACING debenture as selling
IS low as 79&? What has been the rec.
ord Of changes in PRICE foT these deben-
lures? And do you think it reasona BILE to
expect that they should go to par within
a years time or within reasonable time :?
Do you consider them good invest
ment p G. L.
Answer-We believe Radio Corpora
tion of America offers speculative pos
sibilities, but until the stock has been
placed on dividend paying basis it
must be regarded as speculative only.
Whether dividends will be declared on
the preferred before 1924, of course,
remains to be seen, but the company is
under no obligation to pay any before
then. After 1928 the preferred stock
dividends become cumulative at the
rate Of per cent annually. The man
agement is aggressive and competent,
we believe. AS for the Canadian
