1 I THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, JANUARY 10, 1919. Investment FOR YOUR January Income With Real 0 Estate Mortgage Security Preferred Shares IN Home ftuilderS "CORPOftAUB TAX FREE IN NEBRASKA and ... Exempt from federal normal Income ta;x Reinvest your January div idends in these safe, profit able shares, which will pro duce for you a t Definite Fixed Income. There is plenty of evi dence that the people of this section are abundantly supplied with money. . The statements of national banks recently published shows an enormous increase of deposits, while all of the larger financial, institutions show a high degree of pros perity." h It is estimated that some thing like two million dol lars will be paid over to lo cal' investors in dividends during January, and this money will seek reinvest- jBient .We commend to in vestor the 6 preferred 'shares in Home Builders (Inc.), which is a construc tion company having assets exceeding a million dollars. It has financed no building erected outside of Omaha. Home Builders' shares now offered to the public will yield 6, which rate is specifically stated in the face of the certificate and cannot be reduced. Invest ors are reminded, however, that financial journals pre dict a superabundance of money. In that event fu ture issues of Home Build ers' preferred shares may be offered at a lower rate than 6. Discriminating investors therefore, will see the advantage of securing shares of the present issue. These shares afford a defi nite, fixed income to inves tors and for this reason are especially desirable. v It should be noted that Home Builders pays all Nebraska taxes and the nor mal federal income tax on its shares,- rendering them equivalent to a 7 invest ment where the investor pays the taxes. Moreover, these shares are secured by mortgages upon newly im proved Omaha real estate, as Home Builders never financed a building erected outside of. Omaha. They comprise securities of un questioned value, paying a high rate of interest, and may be had in any amount from $1 up to $5,000, con venient alike to investors of small means and those , of Ample capital. Home Builders' shares may be converted into cash by resale through the American Security Com pany (fiscal agents) any time after one year. Offl ces, 17th and Douglas Sts., Omaha. CONFLICTING BULLETINS PUT AGENTS IN AIR One Says Box Cars Are Plenti ful; Other Urges Loading to Capacity Becouse of Shortage. From a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln. Jan. 9. (Special.) The Nebraska railway commission is puzzled by two bulletins issued on the same day by R. H. Aishton of Chicago, regional director of rail roads for McAd6o. for the district including Nebraska, one of which tells local agents of the shortage of box cars and the other tells operat ing officials that there is such a sur plus of box cars that they should shunt all of the lighter cars out of service. The bulletin to agents, calling at tention to the rescinding of the or der allowing carload rates only on 60,000 pounds of flour, asks the agents to bring every pressure to bear on millers to continue loading to this capacity, "because of the scarcity of box cars, which makes equipment hard to secure." The Ne braska tariff calls for only 32,000 pounds for a carload lot. Operating officials, in a bulletin under the same date, are told to shunt to sidings all cars having a capacity of under 60,000 pounds be cause of the car shortage situation, Regional Director Aishton says, has so eased jip that this plan is feasible.
