Not an Investment Security

Question:. am a Tribune reader. VIII
you kindly give mo your opinion regarding
the investment Of few hundred dollars
in the Firth Radio profit sharing invest
ment now being advertised very exten-
sively. understand that John Firth
4 Co., Ino. is engaged in the manufac-
will be appreciated.-J. H. G..
Answer-John Firth & Co., Inc, is
Offering 100000 shares Of its per cent
cumulative preferred stock and 100000
shares of no par value common stock in
"units" comprising four shares pre-
ferred and two shares common at $50
per "unit." The company is engaged
in manufacturing radio apparatus and
new capital is proposed for business
extension. We do not regard this stock
as an investment to be recommended.
1t may be possible to raise the amount
Of capital necessary to carry out the
plans of the company, but in the event
full subscription is not obtained volume
of business and profits might be con-
siderably below estimates made. At
present an interest in the stock of this
company must be classed as specu-
lative.

Investment Information

been with The company for forty six,
thirty-six and seventeen years, respec-
lively. The present offering of pre-
ferred stock Is 100000, and the net
assets Of the company as Of July !,
1899, were about 100000. Only $780,
900 Of the preferred stock has been
sold. Although this stock lacks sea-
soning and marketability, it may be re-
garded as suitable for business man
who will keep in touch with the affairs
Of this company. The company does
not provide market for the stock, we
understand, and we know of no dealers
in unlisted securities who trade in the
shares.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-17
Glass Stock Highly Speculative

Question: have been solicited several
times to subscribe for stock in the Bankers
Protective Appliance Sales Corporation. of
S Columbus Circle. New York, with fac
tory at Arlington, N. j. The product.
which is on-shatterable glass, undoubtedly
has immense possibilities, but arm won
dering. just what kind of people are run
ming the company and II you can give me
any idea as to what they are really doing
toward creating a market for their goods.
III. q. 8.
Answer-The Bankers Protective
Appliance Company has operated its
plant in moro than one locality since
it began operations and was said to
have moved from Arlington October /.
Considerable difficulty has been expert
enced in disposing Of stock, and the
further operations Of the company arc
largely dependent on obtaining addi-
tional capital. We see nothing attrac-
tive in the stock Of this company, which
we regard as highly speculative. AS
no statement Of income has been is
sued we are not informed as to what
volume of business the company is
doing.

Not for Small Investor

Question: would like 70 get information
about the per cent certificates Of indebt-
ednass and profit sharing certificates OF the
northwestern Finance Corporation, Detroit,
Company Detroit. Mich. Is that sound
investment for one who has only $500 or
$1,000 to invest I'll. l.. N.
Answer--The Northwestern Finance
Corporation was organized on March
II, 1921; capital, 100000, comprising
10000 shares of par value of $40. The
Bond Investment Company is offering
s1,0O0,000 certificates of indebtedness
Of the Northwestern Finance Company
and balance sheet of the latter COM
pany as of June 80, 1922, shows sub
scriptions to these certificates of $500.
Although the Northwestern company is
said to be headed by able men it's busi-
ness has not extended over long
enough period to have demonstrated
sufficient earning power to. class this
security as particularly desirable. We
would not recommend it for one who
has only $500 or $1,000 to invest.

A MENACE OF APATHY
Now is the Time for All Good Men 10
Come to the Aid of the Party.

P. H. MCGOWAN, one of the Washing
ten correspondents of The News, says
the enrolment for the Democratic
primary of August in South Carolina,
is being closely watched in Washing
ton by the senators who want to reduce
representation in this and other south
ern states.
"If the whole state this year polls
something like 10000 or perhaps 100000
votes when with the women voting 1t
could easily show 100000, the hue and
cry will be raised here that reprcsen-
tation must be reduced" he says. 1T
will further be argued" declares he,
that if in the seven congressional dis
tricts of South Carolina 100000 or less
votes are placed in the ballot box that
it is unfair to continue to let that state
maintain it's preseIt record oe seven
house members"
This is not a bugaboo. Crumpacker
is not the only one who has made an
assault on the South's representation.
Since the last election there have been
frequent illusions to the "unduly
large" representation Of southern states
in congress and threats to reduce it.
1t would be a serious blow to South
Carolina to have her number of repre-
scntatives cut from seven to six and
a disgrace to the congress that would
order it. Yet there arc Republicans in
Washington who have no love for this
state and would welcome the opportu-
nifty of striking such a blow. We can
not afford to offer them a vulnerable
spot-and low enrolment will in
truth be a temptation for them to
attack.
What do you say, Mr.. Disinterosted
Citizen?
Are you willing to lay your state
open to such disaster?
1t behooves every man and woman
ir South Carolina to avoid the posi-
bility of reduced representation in con-
gless by attending to their duty and
enrolling to vote in the coming prl-
mary. There are sufficient reasons
other than this why every citizen
should have the interest to vote but
this is an added situation that makes
it imperative.
With election time only few weeks
off enrolment is still proceeding Slow
| ly. Unless squirt is taken the state
will fall sadly short of even 100000
voters. In the meantime The Republi-
can rcductionists are rubbing their
hands.-Grcenville News.
