Why An Eight Per Cent Stock?
The Realty Trust Company has been in business nearly three
years, and has made good progress, its paid capital being almost five
hundred thousand dollars. The business of the company has been
confined largely to the buying of purchase money paper, secured by
mortgages on real estate. \
A great many homes have been sold in Birmingham on monthly
or annual payments, bearing interest at from six to eight per cent.
The monthly payment paper is not a desirable investment for the
average individual, because collec
tions must be allowed to accumulate
for a year or more, before they aggre
gate enough for re-investment. A cor
poration, however, handlitig a consid
erable volume of paper is in position
to re-invest monthly, as funds come
to hand.
The Realty Trust Company has
been able to buy purchase money
paper, at a discount which causes it to
yield more than eight per cent per
annum, and has found it a safe busi
ness. Of course, if we were making
direct loans upon property, we could
not earn so good a percentage as by buying paper which others have
taken.
The preferred shares of the company have preference over its
two hundred thousand dollars of common stock/which constitutes a
very material assurance of the payment of dividends upon the pre
ferred. The officers and directors of this company hold only the
common stock. Seeing that the preferred shares have preference
oyer the common as to dividends, it will be readily understood that
these shares must be doubly safe, in order that our holding may be
secure. 'A
There are few investments that pay as good net returns as this
stock, or that are as safe; and as a precaution against a material re
duction in income on its capital, the company reserves the right to re
tire the preferred stock at any time at par. It is not likely, how
ever, that this will be done for some years to come, and it may never
be done. This stock pays a fixed dividend of eight per cent_one
half in January and one-half in July of each year, and it can be pur
chased at one hundred dollars a share.
