Local Banking Man Discusses
Favorable Sale of District
Bonds, Proving Prosperity

and for the first time in recent
years irrigation bonds of western
state found a sale in an eastern
market.
Salt River Bonds Less
Recently the Salt River Valley
Water Users organization sold four
and one-half million 6 per cent
bonds at 97.64. The answer for a
better offering for Imperial bonds
at the same rate is likely because
the Arizona bonds have not yet
been seasoned in the New York
market.
"1mperial bonds undoubtedly
have strong basic value; other
wise bond houses would not buy
them. In spite of misdirected pro
paganda to create the impression in
Washington that our valley was inn
pcrilled from flood menace; in spite
of false and ignorant reports that
our crops have been ruined by wa
ter shortage; in spite of al the mis-
information from one source and
another that has been broadcasted
about the Imperial Valley, the bond
buyers of the Pacific Southwest
Anglo Bank group believe in the
basic integrity of this agricultural
empire,' was Mr.. Horne S conclud-
ing statement.

pearod out of the ''jungles y and

Toombs Family
Up Against 1t
In Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 6. - The
Toombs family, old G. A. his rotund
wife and their &c children, will be
ousted from their dingy home back
of a slums district pool hall tomor-
row. The shack has been condemn
ed as unsanitary.
Times are mighty hard for Toombs.
Until n day or so ago there were 81
children, but little June May, 4
months old, died of malnutrition.
The county creamated the tiny body
today.
G. A. is laid up with inflamatory
rheumatism, and cannot work. There
is no food in the house, and the
youngsters are crying with hunger.
. No matter how many children /
have, can't bear the thought of
any of them DYING Mrs. Toombs
said, wiping fearful eyes with her
apron. "There's still 90 left, but
nothing can take the place Of the
one that had to go.
We've never been as bad off as
we have been this year, although
we have always been poor.s l we had
baby every year for the past nine
years at the county hospital, and
we We always been able to feed
them before ~
The Toombs hoped to win the auto
mobile given at the Sacramento fair
some weeks ago for the largest fam
lily in the state. But they had no
way to get there TO claim the prize,
so another family secured it-and a
smaller one, too.
Imperial Valley press., 1924-10-06

"From both the buyers and the
seller s point of view the recent
sale of half million dollars worth
of Imperial Irrigation Dis trict
bonds at par and interest was in
every degree satisfactory, said o.
G.. Horne, vice president of the Pa
cific Southwest Bank Monday morn
ing when discussing the favorable
reception of the issue by financial
houses. "Three causes eontribut
ed to this success: First, strong
bond market in eastern cities where
money is cheap and is seeking an
outlet; second, preparation by the
syndicate buying the bonds to sell
in this market; and third, sound
basic values underlying Imperial Sc
curities.
"a strong market means the
same thing when applied TO bonds
that it does applied to wheat or
cattle. The people of the valley
doubtless understand that bonds
are purchased by bond houses in
wholesale quantities to sell at retail
in small blocks, with the expecta-
tion of making a legitimate pro,
fit. The bond house, through its
selling agencies, creates market
for bonds and securities of q certain
grade, and then attempts to fill the
demand.
on6Market Strong
"For several months the bond
market has been strong. The rail
roads and great industrial concerns
that usually supply the market for
high grade bonds have been doing
little refunding of old issues or of
fering new issues TO the trade. Con-
sequently investors have found it
necessary to look for new issues to
take the place of those they were
accustomed to buy. The syndicate
buying the Imperial bonds consider
ed it psychological moment to en-
ter the market with good irriga-
tion bond and the district board
showed its good judgment in sell
ing the bonds in the present mar
ket.
1.-The Pacific Southwest Anglo
Bank group, represented in the re-
cent sale by the First Securities
Company of Los Angeles, has head
ed the buyers of all the Imperial
Irrigation District bonds, with the
exception of one small block. This
group has not only backed the I'm
oerial bonds with the great finan-
ial strength of its institutions, but |
las created q demand for our bonds |
