A Profitable Use
for Money
For many reasons sound
short-term notes are at
present very popular with
banks and institutions
generally. These notes can
be purchased at prices to
yield between six and seven
per cent.; they keep in
vested capital liquid and
can be readily replaced
with other securities when
conditions justify.
.Send for Circular No, S04,
which gives information
about some very attractive
short time investments.
