EVERYMAN'S
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
Bonds on Partial Payment.
FoFty.SixthA Article.

am often asked to recommend
some bonds that may be bought on
the partial payment plan. The in
matically and to invest 1t as fast as
he saves. Now this is a highly COM
mendable ambition the realization of
which is possible in many ways.
You can, of course, deposit your
weekly surplus in the savings bank
until enough has accumulated to buy
a good bond. The trouble Is that
most Of us need some stimulus to
keep up any such plan of setting
aside certain sum regularly. 1t is
this stimulus which the building and
loan association gives that makes
plan for systematic saving. In a
somewhat similar fashion life insur-
ance may be developed into a savings
scheme although this is not primarily
it's function.
But supposing you already have
good building and loan association
and still wish to buy securities on
partial payments. How can this be
accomplished? There are a number
Of investment houses which make a
business of selling bonds on partial
an encouragement to small investors
in the hope that eventually they will
become large investors. There is,
however, almost no profit in this
business for the investment banker
II he sells high-grade securities and
the small buyer has no business to
take anything else.
1t follows then that there is need
of the utmost care in the selection of
the house from which you buy securi-
ties on partial payments. Do not
deal with any firm in this line until
you have satisfied yourself that its
standing in the financial community
is of the highest. Do not buy any
speculative security whatever on this
plan, for If you do you may find that
the market price will decline before
you finish your payments and then
there is no incentive to saving when
you are paying more for a security
than it will sell for after you have
acquired title.

the most interesting part Of the

The deep blue of the Alpine fakes
of Lake Lucerne and Lake Geneva
delighted the tourists with it's
beauty, and Mount Blanc and the
Jungfrau thrilled us as it does all
who look upon them," said Miss Pal

Miss Palmer found Paris more

on the battlefields of France she
considered marvellous.

and quoted: "Oh, its sweet to dream
in Venice, and it's great to study
Rome; but when it comes to living.
there is no place like home"
When asked what she had missed
most, Miss Palmer answered readily:
Scream and butter. And one has to
beg for water to drink. But there
are compensations."
