Daniel of the Pacific Northwest company discussed investment securities and in vesting the conservative way at the Rotary club luncheon here this week. Daniel said that the "conser vative course" in the investment business can be profitable, and many of the better securities are available here in the northwest. He noted that "many of the big endowment funds of the east" are "attracted to our corpora tions and are taking the market for them away from us." He cited investment trusts of Great Britain and Switzerland as buying in the northwest, es pecially investing in banks, pub lic utilities and independent telephone companies. Endowment Funds Daniel said many eastern en dowment funds have been buy ing in Weyerhaeuser Timber. Puget Sound Pulp and Timber in addition to industrial firms. He said in. sstors do not have to go to the stock market in New York to purchase good securi ties. Daniel also discussed financial need necessary to invest in se curities, pointing out that if a person is able to save money, he can afford to invest in securities. He also discussed which secur ities are more desirable for a return on the investment, and pointed out that to have an in vestrJrent return "a long-range program should be obvious."
