Sure enough, it was. “Tell me,” the Doctor continued, “how do you manage to get such a good investment rate of interest, when most people think that they have to be satisfied with 6% or 619% if they want to be absolutely safe?” “It’s a little secret I learned out cf the geography book,” I told him, and when he looked puzzled I went on, “That is an actual fact. I studied a map of the United States. Next I learned what rates of interest prevail in the various sections—because of course rates are higher in some parts than in others. When I found that I could get 7% in the South on the same kind of bonds that pay 6% and 6!3'% in the North and East, I decided that the South was the place_for my money. “Safe? Why of course. The difference in interest between North and South is due to geography and general conditions. Seven per cent. is the prevailing rate down there. It is paid on the best kind of security.” Why Does the South Pay More? Good Southern first mortgage real estate bonds pay more than similar investments in most other parts of the country, for the same reason that the price of goods and the “‘cost of living” are higher in some places and lower in others. It is all a question of demand and supply. In the South, because money is scarcer than it is in the North, and because the South needs a great deal of money to develop still further its great business possi- bilities, interest rates on first mortgage security are higher. Miller First Mortgage Bonds represent the highest type of Southern real estate bonds, Every issue is secured by a single piece of income-earning property, such as a hotel, apartment structure, office or commercial building. No investor in Miller Bonds has ever lost a dollar or waited a day for payment of interest or principal. We have just published an attractive and valuable booklet, entitled, “Why the South Offers Investment Opportunities.” Ir it are described in detail the South's great resources and wealth, as compiled from official sources —information which every investor wants before he puts his money into any particular section of the country.
