A LETTER from an Investor

who owns

$1,800,000 in Securities

[ocr errors][merged small][merged small]

"I had no idea that an analysis such as you suggested to me would be nearly as complete as this is, nor that it would convey so much information which is vital for the investor to have before him. Entirely aside from the tabulation of securities with rate and income yield, the very thoughtful comment and advice on the various securities are especially appreciated. "Never before have I allowed a bond house to have my list, or any part of it. I felt that they would only use it for trading purposes, and I was convinced that any investor who allowed his list to be so used would gradually find himself holding securities of less and less value and salability, because of the temptation

to trade securities carrying a premium for those offered at a discount.

"My list, I am convinced, will in no sense be used by you in that way. You have proved this by the comments and analysis of my various securities. On the contrary, I feel a sense of protection that I did not previously have, since you are now in a position to advise me in advance of any possible trouble, thus giving me an opportunity to get out of a weak investment.

"I beg to assure you, therefore, that this analysis is of very substantial value to me, and I wish to thank you very sincerely for furnishing it."

This letter to us from a Chicago investor reflects the value of the investment analysis service which we rendered. This same service is available to you. We will gladly send further information upon request.

The Compton Investment Service Department, an outgrowth of forty years of experience, has proved of substantial value to investors. You are invited to make use of its facilities in the analysis of your own investment holdings.

The menace to health of an impure water supply can hardly be told in fewer or better words.

Modern water purification plants may not possess the sentiment and romance which cling to the open well and the flowing stream, but nothing contributes more to the health, sanitation and welfare of people all over the civilized world than does a plentiful supply of pure water.
