Dollars Make Dollars
When Put to Useful Work
THE idle dollar does no one any good. Hoarded, it lies in the strong box,
gathering dust. It is worthless. It does not even earn its keep. Instead
of bringing its owner an income, it actually costs money to keep it safe
. . . and the man who hides it away in a secret place lives always in fear that
someone else will get there first.
It was not hoarded money that built industrial and agricultural America.
Dollars that were earned by honest toil built the great plants that make steel,
flour, shoes, clotlfing the things people need and use. Honestly earned dol
lars, honestly invested, grow wheat, live stock, horticultural and dairy pro
ducts. The invested dollars of more than 6,500 preferred shareholders of The Cali
fornia Oregon Power Company helped to build the plants that supply neces
sities to 60 cities and towns of the Pacific Northwest. They built hundreds
of miles of transmission and distribution lines. They are doing useful work,
all day every day throughout the year . . . and will continue to do useful
work, and earn their keep, while hoarded money loafs.
The opportunity to earn a return on investment is better today than for years.
Banks pay interest on deposits regularly. Sound securities earn, and pay, a
regular, safe income.
The preferred shares of The California Oregon Power Company have paid
dividends regularly since April 15, 1921. The 42nd consecutive quarterly
dividend on these shares was paid January 15, 1932.
Present Price $86 Per Share, to yield approximately 1 on the investment.
