jit a stock dividend of about 3i per

A Difference
There is a vast difference
between the elements of value
and price.
Value is represented by
actual worth, price depends
upon outside influences.
Securities bought on a
basis of value are investments
when price is the deciding
factor, they are speculative.
Our 'offerings are for in
vestment they represent
actual value and interest in
established successes.
Our booklet awaits your
request.
