Gillette
Now that the terms have been
published In. the Gillette,Auto
strop deal, the situation is pretty
well cleared up here. The plac-
ing Of the Gillette stock on a -
annual basis was another favor
able development. While the
stock may. and probably viii, re-
act from its current levels along
with the rest Of the market, I
think Gillette offers good long
term possibilities.
One of the most recent favor
able developments in the business
situation was the gain Of per
cent in employment shown for
September. This was the first
gain reported this year.

They say that Dupont's earn
ings for the final half of this year
win be smaller than those in the
first six months. Which probably
accounts for the recent selling Of
the stock. Yet think Dupont is
one of the best stocks to buy for
the long pull.

pretty big affair. but your guess
is as gooda rnine as to. how the

One market observer says that
United States Steel common
should sell much higher than the
preferred. From a strictly invest
ment standpoint there Is no rea-
son why a common stock of any
company should not sell on at
least S per cent yield basis.
Some stocks, like American Tele-
phone or United States Steel can
afford to sell at a somewhat lower
yield basis because, over a period
Of yields, special distributions
