For example: Before the War, the normal exchange on Austrian Kronen’ was about 20 cents in American money. War conditions have forced the Kronen down to about one cent. City of Vienna 5% Treasury Notes, which before the war would have had a normal value of $2,000 per 10,000 kronen note, can be purchased now for $120. With industrial and financial conditions improving in Austria, the exchange rate is bound to advance, thus increasing the yield and enhancing the value of the investment. When the Kronen gets to one-third its normal value, a 500% profit will have been realized on the investment at today Prices. ‘Another example: Thé normal exchange on German Marks before the war was about 24 cents in American money. \Today the German Mark is quoted at about 214 cents, or 1-10th its pre-war value. German Municipal Bonds, such as Hamburg 4’s with a pre-war value per 1,000 Mark Bond of $240, can today be purchased for $30. German Exchange saw.its low water mark during the stabilizing of its government. Five years should see the Mark back to normal. With the mark 50% of normal, a profit of 400% would be realizeed on today’s investment. Other examples might be cited in, the bonds of Great Britain, France, Belgium and Italy. The foundation of the greatest fortune in the word rests on the purchase of European Government bonds aft- er the Battle of Waterloo. Attractive speculation in Government bonds will be a thing of the past as the exchange goes up. The time to buy foreign bonds is when the-exchange is low, and now is that time. v We have prepared circulars on the Government issues of Gredt Britain, France, Italy, Belgium, Greece and Japan, as well as circulars on the Municipal Bonds of Paris and Vienna and such German cities as Berlin, Bremen, Coblentz, Dresden, Frankfort,’ nburg, Leipzig, Mannheim and Munich.
