Bache & Co., and Halle & Steiglitz New York Correspondents For many years the large railroad transportation systems of the United States have been widely recognized as providing a substantial basis for conservative investment. Bonds secured by mortgage on our stronger railroad properties have long proven popular not only with our own people but also, until the War, with the great investing public of the British Isles and Continental LZurope. The wide distribution which these issues receive has always assured their holders a ready market. and they represent to-day the most liquid type of corporate investment. This quality of quick convertibility into cash makes the inclusion of railroad bonds in a well diversified list of investments desir- able for those anticipating the use of their funds before maturity, especially banks and institutions. Railroad Bonds For Investment Railroad bonds of the higher grade, because of their ready marketability and inherent security, are one oi the most desirable forms of investment. As a class they are secured by properties having an aggregate value, as found by the Interstate Commerce Commission in 1920, of over twice the amount of bonds outstanding against them. The indispensable and public character of the properties as the arteries of the Country’s Commerce; the subsfantial equity over and above all bonded indebtedness; the relative stability of earnings of the carriers and their ability to pay interest on their bonds in periods of depression are some of the con- siderations which have induced most of our States to permit funds in the ~ustody of Savings Banks and Trustees to be invested in approved rail- road bonds. We have participated. after careful investigation. in the underwriting of original issues and have dealt in high-grade railroad bonds for many vears. We should be pleased to render any service in connection with railroad bonds or their purchase for investment. sent upon request.
