Eight years ago Thurday it cfded.
It is hard for the man Of so to

the man Of 80 to realize that big war
veterans think Of the Spanish war as

fringe near the graves edge.
We soon forget wars. and SO We

Before the American Construction
Council. in Cleveland, s. W.. Straus,
head Of the biggest ond oldest real
estate bond house In America, made
various suggestions that should i'm
terest investors and the public au-
thorities.
Mr.. Strauss company, in business
for nearly so years. without loss Of .
dollar in principal or interest to any
investor, has . record that only u
few Of the eountry's soundest finan-
cial concerns can equal. Many big
railroads have reason to envy it.
It 10 therefore Mr.. Strauss right to
speak as an expert in real estate bond
issues, and his demand for closer
scrutiny Of such issues entities him
to the gratitude Of oil investors.

Strauss suggestions, says the public
is buying real estate bonds at the
rate Of billion . year and the total
soon will be many billion.
