security, was marketed. Since 1902 many bond issues have been 

 floated, some of them sound, some unsound. 



The author aims in the present book to bring out the different 

 phases of timber bonds and to provide sufficient information to 

 guide prospective purchasers past unsafe investments. A large 

 part of the book is taken up with two sample trust deeds and 

 copies of bond circulars. 



The author appears to have furnished but little original material 

 for the work, but it is of interest to those desirous of learning 

 something of timber bond issues. 



The volume closes with a chapter on "Words and Phrases" 

 taken from Bulletin No. 61 of the Bureau of Forestry. This 

 contains the terms used in forestry and logging arranged in alpha- 

 betical order and is for the purpose of supplementing the vocabu- 

 lary of bond agents when selling their wares. 



The author would have better met the needs of such men by 

 eliminating the technical forest terms from his list, since very few 

 lumbermen or bond purchasers are conversant with them.
