Bends for Investment
Seme of the Seuth Ameri
can countries are in a posi
tion similar te that occu
pied by the United States
100 years age.
Their great natural and
undeveloped resources pro
vide a potential wealth
which compares favorably
with that possessed by any
European or North Amer
ican nation.
In such countries opportu
nities for conservative but
profitable use of funds are
obvious.
We shall be glad en request
te submit recommendations
