And Questions and Answers About Investments 
I T took a little while to straighten out 
the matter of a refund check due 
Miss D. C. of New York, for a lamp 
she had returned to a New York firm 
as unsatisfactory. The firm acknowl¬ 
edged the indebtedness, but had simply 
fallen behind. A little pressure from 
the Service Bureau aided them in 
speeding up the work and Miss C. 
wrote us that the check had come and 
that the matter was closed. 
NO LAWYER WILL HANDLE THIS 
CASE 
A dog-seller who takes the money 
but does not send any sort of dog 
in return is F. 0. Smith of Altamont, 
Ill. A local firm of lawyers, in whose 
hands we placed a $35 account for col¬ 
lection, wrote us: 
“Enclosed herewith you will please 
find the above entitled account which 
we are returning 
for the reason that 
it is our opinion - 
that it is absolute¬ 
ly worthless and 
uncollectable. We

this kind and simi¬ 
lar nature and 
have never been 
able to collect any 
of them. This man 
is engaged in the

very frequently we 
have the same set 
of facts as are 
presented to us in

PRINT IT IF NECESSARY! 
YIW^E have been asked by several of 
the large commission firms in 
New York City to ask our readers to 
be more careful in shipping their 
eggs to New York. 
Shippers do not always take care 
to write their names and address 
plainly on all shipments, and as a 
result the firms have more or less 
to guess at them. As a consequence, 
letters enclosing remittances are re¬ 
turned unclaimed and the shippers 
never realize why they do not receive 
returns promptly. By cooperating in 
this way, both the shippers and tha 
firms will be better satisfied with 
their transactions.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS 
ABOUT INVESTMENTS 
Financial Department :—Please give me your 
advice on the Union Finance Company? (Let¬ 
ter attached.)—A. G., New York. 
are unable to find a market for the 
stock, which may or may not be a dis¬ 
advantage in your case. It is also pos¬ 
sible for dealers in musical instruments 
to meet with severe competition. You 
should not put more than a small part 
of your funds into this kind of a 
security. 
Sound Investments 
Financial Department:—I wish to know if 
the 7% Cumulative preferred stock in the 
Power Corporation of New York may bo relied 
upon as a safe investment for a moderate 
amount? I have a small amount in the bonds 
of the Northern New York Utilities and would 
appreciate your judgment on these also. 1 have 
an American Telephone & Telegraph bond of 
5%, but it now gives me but little over the 
5%. If I can get 6% or 7%, with safety, I 
would like it. I also have a small amount in 
French-Republic 7%%, but do not care to keep 
them. I paid 95 for them. Would you hold 
them for a time at least? W T hat do you think 
of real estate bonds in such cities as Chicago 
and Atlanta if handled by long-established con¬ 
cerns?—H. H. L., New York. 
We think your Northern New York 
Utilities bonds are good investments, 
but inasmuch as 
nr.. i ■ you already hold 
these it would be 
better to take 
some other pre¬ 
ferred stock than 
Power Corpora¬ 
tion, which is af¬ 
filiated with the 
Northern N e tv 
York Utilities. We 
suggest the new 
Duquesne Light 7 
per cent preferred. - 
Your American 
Telephone & Tele¬ 
graph 5 per cent 
bond is also very 
good. You could 
get a little more 
by buying Her- 
shey Chocolate 6s, 
__ — which are listed on 
the New York 
Stock Exchange, 
and are, in our opinion, well secured. 
We advise you to keep your French 
bond. As to the real estate securities, 
everything depends on the property on 
which they are a lien. Probably most 
of them handled by old-established con¬ 
cerns are sound. You must remember, 
however, that this kind of an invest¬ 
ment is not easily marketable. 
Not Earning Fixed Changes 
We do not recommend stock of this 
company. The circular you enclose 
says that only 500 persons will be per¬ 
mitted to take advantage of the offer 
which is made to you. We suggest you 
let some other people make up the 500. 
In this caee we believe a little unselfish¬ 
ness on your part would be profitable. 
Not Strictly Conservative 
Financial Department: — Will you please let 
me know if the Frederick Investment Company 
(circular attached) is safe and sound?—H L 
Maryland. 
The Frederick Investment Company 
seems to have a good record, but we 
Financial Department:—I own a few shares 
of the capital stock of the New Haven R. It. 
Can you tell me if the company is at present 
earning their fixed charges? Are any of their 
bond issues due in 1923 ?—G. A. W., Maryland. 
The New Haven Railroad is not earn¬ 
ing its fixed charges on the basis of 
the latest returns. According to the 
indications for the first eleven months 
of 1922, 86 per cent of such charges 
would be earned. The road has two 
small issues maturing in 1923 aggre¬ 
gating $500,000, besides equipment ob¬ 
ligations amounting to $1,411,900. 
There are no large maturities.

Financial Department:—Kindly advise me if 
1 you know anything of the U. S. Gasoline Cor- 
j poration? (Circular attached.)—Mrs. S. B. C., 
j New York. 
Stock in U. S. Oil Gasoline is a spec¬ 
ulation which we do not advise unless 
you are in a position to assume the 
risk involved. Until the process has 
been proved and the company is oper¬ 
ating and demonstrating its ability to 
make profits for its stockholders its 
shares have no claim to an investment 
rating. 
Buy Marketable Stocks 
Financial Department :—What do you think 
of investing in the Old Colony Mills, Inc., 922 
Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, Pa.? They are 
offering shares of preferred stock at $5—8%. 
(Circular attached.)—1. D. B., New York. 
Unless you are in a position to keep 
in close touch with the earnings of 
this company we advise you to buy 
more seasoned securities. You cannot 
get 8 per cent without assuming risk 
and only those should assume the risk 
who have some familiarity with the 
business in which the company is en¬ 
gaged. You should also consider the 
question of marketability. In the case 
of a new organization, there is not like¬ 
ly to be a market for the stock, and 
some day you may want to realize on 
your investment.
