WHAT MAKES
BONDS
GOOD?
Bonds are always good or bad
investments, depending entire
ly upon the character of the as
sets that stand behind them.
The assets are the sentinels of
good bond investments. With
a reputable trust company
standing guard between the
. bond-buyer and the issuing
company, the proposition is
safe if the. assets are strong
enough to orotect the investor.
Therefore, it is apropos to ask.
"What makes bonds good?" To
be more pertinent, what makes

Tbe road is 80 miles long, pene
testing a country that is devel

rapidity. The realty holdings
of the company in all the cities

Santa Cruz, therefore, are cer
tain to constantly increase the
assets of the company. Over
30 miles of Ihe road have been
completed, engines, cars and all
other equipment have been pur
chased, and that part, of the
road is in operation, earning
money ngnt now. The pros
pective earning capacity of the
road is amazing, approximating,
from the very start, $1,000,000
annually. These things make a
railroad secure for all time.
With real estate now owned.
