Like the rest OF the Republicans
who have gone home. these Della
wareans will undertake 10 tell the
people OF their State why tho Repub-
lican party should be kept In power
and why du Pont and Layton should
be retained In Congress. Whatever
ills have befallen the people Of the
country OF the sins of omission and
OF commission on the part OF the
present administration and the
Congress they will probably charge up
TO the minority party.
The Republican leaders here have
agreed that It would be wise and
effective for all those going to their

Goodyear Making Progress

Question-Will YOU kindly state in von1
inTestmeDt column your opinion as to the
safety Of tho Goodrich Tire & Rubber com
pany per cent sinking fund bonds. due
ls5l. as an investment proposition .
a. II. s.
Answer-You refer presumably to
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber COMPANY
9 per cent debentures, due 1881. Of
which $50 100000 arc authorized and
S2f,ooo,000 outstanding. These bonds
can hardly be ranked as better than a
business mans investments They are
direct obligation of the company. but
are not secured by any mortgage. They
rank behind an issue of $50, ,0O0, 900 first
mortgage per cent bonds which were
sold in connection with the companv's
recent organization. The company has
made good progress since that event.
put 1t may be noted that as lately as
Novemb ber, 1921, when the debentures
were publicly offered, it was regarded
as necessary to price the issue at a
slight discount, notwithstanding a re-
demption price of 10, to assure the
placement Of the bonds with investors.

giving ms your good advice IN regard to

something sound that will bring mo more
than the savings banks. WIN appreciate
your opinion .and advice.--M G.
= .;Answer:-We think that a Fourth
Liberty Az per cent bond due in 1898,
which is selling at price to Weld
slightly more than ~ per cent, is the
best bond for you to buy. This is the
safest Investment that you could make
and would, in our opinion, best meet
the requirements of your situation. A
s,l,ooo per cent sinking fund bond Of
the United States Steel CORPORATION.
due in 1868, can be bought for small
premium over par to yield slightly less
than per cent. If you are not willing
to buy Liberty bond this bond prob
ably comes closest to meeting your
need The security is the best and the
yield as high as can now be obtained
with a minimum Of risk.

Answer We think YOU have enough
securities of high yield without taking
on the American Power and Light So.
The Brooklyn Edison Is arc good, in
our opinion. To diversity your invest
mcnt properly YOU should consider
something OF high grade for whatever
funds you do not care to put into the
Brooklyn Edison Is. Take Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy reiunding 5s,
Series A. for instance, or NWginian
Railway SIS, or Canadian Southern 5s.
They yield only about 512 per cent,
but man with a small salary cannot
afford to have AL his savings in sec
cud grade securities. You should have
something unmistakablN sound to
countcrbal tho Brazilian So. The 8
PEI cent mortgage loan. we take il, is
i'm the nature OF q personal accommo-
dation to your brother If it is not
we think YOU arc not receiving high
enough return for this class of
security.
