Is it a direct first mortgage, coming ahead of all other obligations? Is it founded on a fundamental necessity of life a commodity or ser vice for which the demand exceeds, and will continue to exceed, the supply? The investor who purchases a first mortgage bond, safeguarded under the Straus Plan, can .answer all these questions with an unqualified "yes." You cannot afford to delay investigating the Straus Plan, which has ended the worries of so many investors. W.rite today for our booklet, "Safety and 6," which explains our plan, and for our July Investment Guide, which describes a total of $-10,000,000 in first mortgage serial bonds, netting the safe interest rate of 6, with 4 Federal Income Tax paid.
