WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, July 12.
The recent strength and popularity
of certain public utilities has brought
this group of securities to the front in
the investment market.
Twenty years ago investment bankers
were booming traction securities Today
this group is in the background, and
power and light issues hold the center of
the public utility stage. Fundamentally
these two groups are affected by very
different factors, and their fortunes un-
der any given combination of funda-
are vastly different.
Three Vital Factors.
The power and light group enjoys
three distinct advantages compared
with fractions and rail issues Labor, a
large item in the operating costs of rail-
roads and traction .roperties, is very
small in light and p ser plants Wages
are not a factor and Increases in pay roll
make no particular difference in earn
ings. The fact that labor has not been
debated to any appreCiable extent since
the war and postwar boom has handi-
capped all rail and traction properties,
in fact. has wrecked many of them.
Light and power companies meantime
have enjoyed a decline in operating costs
due to the defiation of commodity prices.
Closely allied with the wage problem
Is the question of service. Here again
the light and power companies have a
distinct advantage over the railroads,
both steam and electric. The president
OF light company, for instance, can
press the button in his own home and
from that himself
is getting just what practically every
one in his district is receiving from his
company. His installation, repair and
complaint departments are relatively
small and can be closely watched. He
toners is getting courteous and efficient
service from the company.
Railroads in Dark.
A railroad with thousands of sta
tfon agents, freight handlers, and
trainmen constantly in contact with
its public has no assurance that it
is rendering the kind of service that
the management may earnestly de-
sire to give. \ single employe
through his thoughtlessness or care
1eSSneSS can make enemies for the
same handicap to a smaller extent.
The problem of creating and main
tanning good will is extremely difficult
for railroads and fractions and rel
atively easy for light and power COM
panies.
When potential markets are con-

Ask Your Nanker.

How much real value stands back
of the stock you are asked to buy?
Are you sure that the nice, honest
looking stranger is telling you the
truth? Ask your banker to look into
what he claims.
