PUBLIC "SERVICE
SECURITIES'
The dependence or Municipalities on
Public Service Corporations is the
strength or their securities.
When efficiently managed and located
in thriving communities, their growth
in proportion to the growth of the
section that they serve.
In consequence, as there is usually little
or no competition, and as output is
stable, the element of risk is reduced to
a minimum in the purchase of high
class securities) of that class.
We specialize in high-class public serv
ice securities, and have several that
we unqualifiedly recommend, yielding
from 4' to 6 per cent.
