Assets real, live, tangible assets are what count. f Therefore, when a company issues first mortgage v bonds and agrees to pay 5 upon them, all the investor requires is to be assured of the ability of the company to pay the interest that it agrees to pay. The bonds of the OCEAN SHORE RAILWAY COMPANY bear 5 interest; they run 35 years; they are first mortgage liens on all the property of the company; their par value is $100; they are offered on the Portland market for $92 and earn 5'2 at that price. To be specific and to demonstrate the absolute certainty that character izes this particular bond issue, note the sub stantial nature of the ' ASSETS Rights of way, terminal property, material and .equipment, actually bought and paid for, representing a cash investment of $4,500,000. This outlay was for terminal property in San Francisco and Santa Cruz, now worth over $2,000,000; 34 miles of the road in operation; immensely valuable rights of way for the entire length of the line, and the certain futupe profit to be de rived from a marvelously rich territory that has never before enjoyed transportation facilities. The carrying of mail and express has already been contracted. As an incen tive to you, it may be stated that over $2,200,000 of the bonds have already been subscribed, and the company has a paid-up capital of $5,000,000.
