Old Kelialile Generous The News and Observer of Friday not only carried a com plete report of the Coastal Highway meeting at Hertford | but also commented editoriallly on the meeting thus: The Kre&t meeting at Hertford Thursday was one of the many signs | of the new life dominating the east-' ern section of the State. The build-, ing of good roads and diversification of farming have opened up vistas of progress in all directions and a spirit of confldence nnd hopefulness pec vades the whole section. The naming of Charles \V tied bee as chairman of the committee of ar rangements was guarantee that the occasion would be marked with thoroughness and efficiency. There was a great attendance from all ov ,..er Perquimans County, from Eliza beth City, Kdenton, Washington, and Martin and Bertie counties. The Coastal Highway and other mattersi fn which the section is particularly j Interested were discussed and. speeches were made by leaden of North Carolina thought and action. I Another bridge across the Chowan Is being agitated but it was agreed that rivalry over the location would not be allowed to appear* as the meeting was purely for g?-t-tog??ther purposes?for the things on which there was unanimity and not divi sion of opinion. The central portion of the State i.i deeply Interested In good roads In the northeastern section nnd parti cularly in more bridges across the rivers of that section which for lack of these bridges has been cut ofT from the rest of the State. Prosper ity In one section of the State Is felt all over the State. Celebrating i t s fifteenth birthday, the Hertford County Herald, published at Ahoakie, issues a 24-page edition on book paper that is a credit to its man agement, its home town and its county. In extending congratu lations The Advance hopes for better acquaintance with its neighbor across the Chowan riv er. When we get our flivver, if we ever do, perhaps we can pay this lively young newspaper a visit. _ While we are jubilant over the fact that Route 30 has been included along with Ro6te 40 as a part of the Coastal Highway, it is just as well to bear in mind that you can't pave a road by merely putting it on the map. There are exceptions to all rules, but as a general rule this bootleg liquor marks its victim when he ought to be just in his prime with the unmistakable signs of old age. We're hoping that the visit of Rev. J. L. Cunninggim to Eliz abeth City has been merely de ferred?not cancelled. Everyman's Investments OEOmOS T. HUGHES By George T. Hughes Mr. Hughes is a bond expert and analyst with many years' ac live newspaper experience. Kv ery week day of the year he write* an interpretive dispatch from New York concerning the activi' ties of the day in the !>ond mar ket. He has prepared this series of articles for Advance readers al the request of the Consolidated 1'rcss Association. classew of young mpn and women, many barely out of hitch school. who were concentrating on "life studies." Hera was the Venus type of beauty. So perhaps it was only nat ural that she should fall in love with Oail Erwin. the Institute Adonis, with whom she had posed. The ro mance ran along smoothly for a time and then something?It hasn't be^n made quite clear to the authorities what?happened. Constance took her place before her class and stood patiently for a half hour while the busy students i reduced her sinuous curves to paper. Finally the class period ended and Constance, draping a wrap about her self, started for her dressing, room. In a corridor she swallowed! the contents of a poison vial. She' .was rushed to a hospital where phy sicians said she had a chano to re cover. When she sets out of the hospital. Constance may go back to posiu*:. Dut if she doesn't she will scarcely be missed, despite her beauty. For the growing demand for live models has not yet been able to outstrip the number of those?professional anj amateur?who are willing to pose iu the nude. Safer Oil Securities In the refining, transporting and! marketing divisions of the oil in-J dustry there is sometimes sound basis for insula of bonds, preferred I stocks or notes. These enterprises! o%n plants, pipe lines, tank cars,' steamers and oth?r equipement that; may be mortgaged. Financing such companies is similar to other in-i dustrial financing, since refining is, a manufacturing or industrial pro cess. But every such oil enterprise is different from every other and in-1 vestment bankers must consider' them on their merits. Here is aj modest, efficient and profitable re-' fining company with a pipe line sys-1 tem to the wells of producers from ! whom It buys. It has been financed J entirely by common stock. It may; need more capital. Dut it draws its oil from one field, the capacity of) which Is uncertain. With curtailing of Its crude oil supply It would havei to build expensive pipe lines to otherj fields. Or competitors might buy up tho pool's output and leave the com-' pany without oil and with an ex pensive refining plant on its hands. The kmall company would have toj closet down or buy producing wells and nuild lines to them. That com-, pany could offer no safe basis for a bond or a preferred stock issue al-j | though It owned a valuable plant. On the other side the small re-; fining company might meet market-! ing dificultles and be compelled to. add cars, tank steamers and other! equipment to get its product to the. consumer. Obviously such companies must depend largely on common stock issues or local borrowings from] persons associated in the enterprise or well acquainted wit it. There is too much risk for a sound bond Is sue. Larger companies vary in their financial structure. A number have developed on common slock issues, putting back a substantial part of their earnings into their properties and extensions. They have built up large common stock equities and have issuod preferred stocks or notes for'additionnl financing. While some issue bonds either through sub sidiaries or the parent company, un secured notes or debengeres have perhaps been more frequent. The old, established oil companies can offer excellent protection to their investors. Tank cars and steamers are some times pledged under equipment trusts as security for bonds and such securities of high class companies arc considered excellent. The securities of established, capably - managed, sound oil com-' panies may be very desirable, but. unfortunately, the public dt^es not usually buy the securities of such enterprises. It requires consummate I ability to operate an oil business successfully, for the risks and un certainties of the production end naturally are reflected in a measure to every other division of the Indus- j try. Few oil securities can be ranked, higher than "business men's invest ments" and unfortunately these few are the securities the public over looks.
