PARK USES SLOGAN.

That advertisers see the value o.
the Wilmington slogan adopted re
Gently but yet TO be officially adopt
ed. is shown by the fact that Il is al
ready being used In some advertise
ments. The management Of She'll
pot Park has added slightly to Il and
are declaring Shellpot the first park
in the first city OF the first state. The
assertion is literally true because
Shellpot Park was the first amuse-
ment park ever established here and
was established at the time that the
late Preston Lea. afterward governor
of the state. and Willard Salisbury.
afterward United States Senator,
owned the trolley company which
esta ablished the park.
Later Brandywine Springs was es-
tahlished and for a time surpassed
Shellpot in attractions but later
Shellpot was rebuilt. Both parks
are still in operation. however, and
under the management OF the
Henry and Young Amusement Com
pany and both are still popular with
the people OF this section.

A Spanish story, photographed in

The scenes were shot at the little
town OF Carmona. some twenty-five
miles distant from Seville, Spain.
Nothing was lacking-the town
was complete in every essential OF
atmosphere-the long cobble-stoned
streets with their white houses and
ornamental window gratings, the
castellated ruins OF the old walls and
the cuspid gateway, sill recalling
after centuries have passed. the oc-
cupation OF Spain by the Moors.
The story is filled with the hot

Answer-Your action on Virginia

governed principally by the Importance
of return on your investment and by
your financial position. If you feel
you would prefer to sacrifice the diff

lated dividends In favor of an income
paying stock, IL would be we'll to make
the exchange despite the fact that the
outlook for the company has improved
in recent months. On the other hand,
you have carried the stock through
what appears to have been the worst
part of the depression and it would
seem logical at this time to hold it in
the hope of receiving accumulations.
Although we see no early prospect Of
the redemption Of Standard Oil Of New
Jersey preferred, the suggestion Of the
broker can be justified If an exchange
to good preferred stock was made.

Investment information

between the Manhattan piggIy WiggIy
Corporation and the parent company in
Memphis. This is OF supreme import
ance, since the value Of the item OF
SS0o,000 for franchise and territorial
rights particularly depends on a con-
tinuation of good relations with tho
Southern company, which has in effect
licensed the use Of the Piggly Wiggly
name, patents and business methods.
Intimations have been made locally
that the parent company is not salts
fed with the operation of the Manhat-
tan concern.
VI course we recognize that the early
months Of promotion company are by
no means typical of what q well man
aged corporation can do after it has
become fully established. Yet sales
men Of the Business Builders make no
especial effort to distinguish between
possible future earnings and Immediate
possibilities. In fact, the circular al
ready referred to says "piggly Wiggly
Stores have been a success from the
first opening day"
Specifically, answering your question
as to whether we consider Manhattan
Piggly Wiggly certificates a good In
yestment, we must reply in the mega
tive. There Is nothing in the available
facts OF accomplishment to give salts
factory assurance that the reward Of
the security holders in this corporation
VIII be substantially different than that
or those who purchased on the recon-
mendation Of Business Builders sales
men such securities as Man Message,
Business Builders, Urban Pictures, Car
Isle Tire and Industrial Extension In
stltute. OF those securities previously
handled only Daniels Motors preferred,
which we still deem unsuitable for in
yestment purposes, has paid dividends.
Eight per cent interest Is being paid
on the Manhattan Piggly Wiggly cer-
tificates, but this can be stopped in
three years, when the company can
order conversion Of these interest~pay-
ing certificates into preferred shares,
on which the dividends can be paid
only II earned currently or In the past.
terest, unless II Is actually being earned
from the operating Of the grocery bust
ness, Will be poor consolation to those
in quest Of an investment
II you really want to invest, select
some Of the readily marketable high
grade bonds which we frequently rec
ommend in The Tribune. On the other
hand, IL you seek larger return than
comes from such securities why not
purchase United States Rubber first
preferred, yielding slightly more than
per cent, and instead Of Manhattan
P.iggly Wiggly common why not con-
slider General Motors common, which
pays no dividend but which offers spec
ulative possibilities. Please understand
that we do not give advice on spec
ulative matters, but are merely show
ing an alternative to the proposition
you are considering. Unless you can
read the signs of the financial times
and can afford the losses
involved IN risk assumption, stick to
high-grade bonds and seasoned pre-
ferred issues.

Answer--of the three common stocks
you mention the only one that con-
tains sufficient element Of invest
ment value to Justify consideration, in
our opinion, is American Woolen. By
this we do not mean that the other two
lack merit, but rather that the element
OF speculation outweighs that of in
vestment, and these two stocks, there
fore, should be held only by a person
willing to give them close attention
and assume the ordinary business
risks. involved. We cannot predict
future prices.

pany Is generally reputed to be conserv-
ative and competent. We are not pre-

Answer-We are. Glad to see mat
you appreciate the fallacy of selling
bonds simply for the purpose Of realiz-
Ing. profit. You would have gained
nothing by exchanging the Great
Northern IS for the sugar bond. The
bond salesman's reasoning with respect
to your Canadian bonds is not alto
gether clear, for as these issues rise
all others of equal security may rea-
sonably be expected TO do likewise. At
the same time we believe that you have
extended your self too much in the
Canadian field, although not TO the
detrimcnt Of your Investments as
whole, since your selections are all
good. This lack of balance can be
corrected easily by confining yourself
in the future to domestic bonds. We
see no reason for making any change
al this time.
