Investment of Idle Money 



XS a serious problem at the present time, when the 

 increased accumulations in banks are compelling 

 a reduction of the interest rate. 



Carefully selected bonds will yield a return higher 

 than rightly conducted banks can afford to pay on 

 deposits, while the guaranty of safety is equal to that 

 which banks can offer. 



We are equipped with every facility for determining 

 with certainty the character and merit of any security. 



If you contemplate investing surplus money, we 

 shall be glad to give you the benefit of our facilities and 

 expert knowledge.

O not leave too much to the imagination when publishing 



a book of travels and explorations when a map will make 



everything so plain. By our process we are able to make 



draft from rough data and submit proof of plate for 



author's correction before printing. 



Besides the making of maps, we print and bind books, prepare 

 business literature and trade catalogs, and have complete equipment 

 for designing, process engraving, and color work by our Prisma- 

 print process.
