EGGS AND POULTRY 
SO MANY ELEMENTS enter into the ship¬ 
ping of day-old chicks and eggs by our ad¬ 
vertisers, and the hatching of same by our 
subscribers that the publishers of this paper 
cannot guarantee the safe arrival of day- j 
old chicks, or that eggs shipped shall reach the 
buyer unbroken, nor can they guarantee the 
hatching of eggs. We shall continue to ex¬ 
ercise the greatest care in allowing poultry 
and egg advertisers to use this paper, but 
dur responsibility must end with that..

Financial Department :— What do you think 
of the Clarence Hodson Company, 135 Broad¬ 
way, New York City, Beneficial Loan Bond? 
Would you think them a safe investment? — 
(N. W., New York. 
The main difficulty with the Bene¬ 
ficial Loan Bonds is their lack of a 
njarket which might be serious in case 
you needed sometime to realize on your 
investment. The business of the com¬ 
pany is the making of small loans which 
so far has proved profitable but the 
return offered is so high that we can¬ 
not class the investment as conser¬ 
vative. 
LOOKS REASONABLY GOOD; MAY 
LACK READY MARKET 
Financial Department;—What is your opinion 
of the Berkshire Hills Paper Company (circu¬ 
lar attached) ? I would also like an opinion on 
the G. L. Miller Bond &) Mortgage Co. of Miami, 
Fla.?—D. D. W., New York. 
The Berkshire Hills Paper bonds, 
circular of which you enclose, look 
reasonably good although you must re¬ 
member that a small local issue like 
this generally lacks a ready market. 
That may.not be an objection in your 
case. As to the G. L. Miller bonds, it 
is very difficult to give advice regarding 
these real estate mortgage secured 
bonds and similar offerings. Except in 
the case where the mortgage certificate 
is guaranteed the security is always 
only the real estate on which the mort¬ 
gage bond or mortgage certificate is a 
direct or collateral lien. Now,- it must 
be obvious that some mortgages are 
better secured than others. Properly 
to appraise their investment status re¬ 
quires advice from a local real estate

SUITABLE FOE THOSE ABLE TO 
TAKE DISKS 
Financial Department:—I would like your 
advice whether the bonds of the Carbery fi 
Reed Company are a safe investment? They 
are paying 10 per cent.— (M. A. S., New York. 
We cannot undertake to recommend 
any bond caupon, rate of which is as 
high as 10 per cent. A corporation 
which has to borrow at this exorbitant 
interest not only handicaps itself but 
advertises its inability to get accom¬ 
odation at the market rate. It is only 
fair to add that the company’s balance 
sheet makes a good impression. Still 
it is not an investment suitable except 
for those able to take the risk. 
LEAVE IT ALONE 
Financial DepartmenC: —- Will you kindly 
advise me if the Vogt Farm Meat Products 
Company of Royalton, Pa., with offices in the 
Berkeley Building, 106 N, Second Street, Har¬ 
risburg. Pa., is a safe investment and if they 
are doing any business? — H. Ij. L., Pennsyl¬ 
vania. 
As far as we are able to find out, the 
Vogt Farm Meat Products Company 
has not begun production yet. We 
strongly advise you to leave th-* stock 
alone. At the best, in our opinion, it 
is a very doubtful speculation. 
Make Certain It Is Safe
