Investment Information

after meeting Of the directors. that
we declaration of any dividend at that
time was deferred because it was
thought the company's program of ey-
tension demanded conservation of
cash We do not know when the next
dividend will be declared or how large
1t VIII be. The company has had to
assume its share or the general de.
nation or prices and has not been able
TO maintain earnings commensurate
with the old dividend policy and the
plan OF expansion. The company will
undoubtedly do better in the future
and the stock will recover, but we do
not think that you can afford to be
one of the very few minority stock :
holders Of corporation when the
majority holder is another corporation.
whether you sell now or wait until
the stock has recovered is question

Beneficial Loan Society Bonds

Question--Would YOU consider the Bene-
hciai Loan Society bonds and profit shar-
ing certificates safe investment ?-E $.
Answer-The Beneficial Loan Society
was incorporated in Delaware in 1918.
The society makes small loans to in
dividuals and operates under the super
vision of each state where it has offices.
The debentures about which you in
quire are a direct obligation of the So
gage. They have priority over the
equity and interest of the holders Of
the capital stock. The bonds have a
profit-sharing provision which has
yielded, in addition to the regular 6
per cent interest annually, per cent
in 1914, 2 per cent in 1915, and 5 per
cent since. The value of the security
depends largely on the ability and
character of the management
