The Atlantic Trust Investment Plan

BUY BONDS

WITH

BANK SAFETY

When you buy high-grade bonds from this bank, you know at all times the strength and responsibility of the institution you are entrusting with your monthly payments.

The Atlantic Trust Company has a capital and surplus of $2,000,000 and resources of more than $6,000,000.

The bank is supervised by the State Bank Commissioner; its books are examined twice a year by State officials; it is required by law to publish a financial statement in the newspapers five times a year.

Under the Atlantic Trust Investment Plan you can buy the same high-grade bonds in which this bank invests, and your money earns bond interest from the date of your first payment.

FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT

money.

(Continued)

Money may be the root of all evil, but in this world, to date, nearly every man is for himself, and money is a very convenient weapon to have in the battle of modern life. Labor appreciates its value just as much as does capital, and dues and assessments are an important part of union activities. And every intelligent, far-seeing man realizes that with money-or capital-his chances for success are greatly enhanced. Intelligent use may not always be made of money, but no one can deny that it is intelligent to save and invest money. Capital, no matter how small, spells power, and power means independence, the goal of every ambitious man.

QUESTION AND ANSWER

Q. I understand that you have an investment department that gives good advice about investments. I would like to know as to what is your opinion on the South American bonds, such as Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. I inclose you $1, which I notice in your magazine is your charge.

A. This personal inquiry referring to the South American bonds issued by the Governments of Brazil, Chile, and Argentina has general interest.

Most of the South American Governments have found it necessary to finance themselves in this country and have floated bond issues, interest and principal of which are payable in dollars. Some of the South American countries have not had a particularly good record in meeting their obligations. Argentina has the best record in this respect, and we consider the Argentine bonds to be a good investment. Bonds offered by Brazil, Chile, Uruguay, and Bolivia might probably be considered a fair investment for a business man who can watch political and business developments in these countries. Most of these bonds are now selling on the New York Stock Exchange to yield from 7 per cent to 8 per cent-the high yield is a measure of the possible risk involved in hold ing these securities. We believe, however, that all of these Governments are becoming more stabilized and that they will make a much better record in meeting their obligations than some of them have done in the past. We therefore believe that these bonds are deserving of consideration as part of an investment fund where the bulk of one's holdings is made up of more conservative securities.

COME tourists tell stories of unpleas

ant experiences in Europe, and the "Ocean Ferry" finds pleasure in offsetting these by relating the following incident: "A steward on the liner Lapland, following the ship's arrival at Antwerp. found a large roll of American bills under a pillow. He promptly took it to the purser, who found it totaled $750. The two men hastened to the pier and found the woman who had occupied the stateroom just entering a taxicab. She was astonished to find that she had left her money behind, and, accepting it with thanks, entered her cab and departed without mention of reward. The steward was commended by the management."

"There is a gratifying note to most of us," says the "Ocean Ferry," "in the statement made by the chief steward of the Majestic to the effect that bacon and eggs hold their own against fashion on board the Majestic and lead in popularity as a breakfast dish, while apple pie is the most popular dessert at lunch." Thus all the frothy inventions of French chefs beat in vain against the rock-ribbed conventions of the AngloSaxon and his American collaterals.

Visitor from the home of baseball (as reported by London "Punch"): "Well, I'm glad I've seen cricket. I've seen St. Paul's and the Abbey, and they are good goods. But when it comes to hush and the subdued atmosphere, old cricket's got 'em beat."

A man recently left his glass eye in a New Jersey hotel where he had stopped and wrote to the manager asking its return. The manager sent the lost article back and said that it was the first eye he had found since the hotel opened. Articles most commonly left by guests, he added, are pajamas and nightgowns, of which he has a choice collection awaiting their owners' return. Other things frequently left behind by travelers are jewels, umbrellas, canes, brief cases, and razors.

Bishop Candler, of Atlanta, condemning a certain theological controversy, said he was reminded of the colored preacher who began a sermon, "Breddern and sistern, when de fust man, Adam, was created, he was made outer wet clay and set up 'gainst the palin's to dry." A dissenting member of the congregation arose and said, "Pawsin, if Adam was de first man, den who-all made de palin's?" "Bre'er Simpkins, set down," said the parson disgustedly: "sech fool questions as yourn would upset any system of theology."

The Chicago, Rock Island, and Pacific Railroad will celebrate on October 10 the seventieth anniversary of the operation of its first passenger train. The Roc!Island was the first road to reach the Mississippi River, building into the city whose name it carries in 1854. Origi nally only forty miles long, the system now controls eight thousand miles of railway in fourteen States.
