Annual 26th the at the leaving this point I would like to remind members of the investment community that they can no longer ignore savings and loan accounts as an appropriate investment medium for their clients. When yields on Federally insured obligations pay¬ able on demand push up to 4% and beyond, there just isn't much in the securities market that is any better. With yields on common stocks at a low level, and price-earnings ratios as high as they are, the chances have lessened that appreciation in price of common stocks vyill exceed the gains through compound interest on savings accounts. This is one of the facts in the market place, and a hard one for securities-minded investment advisers to accept, but they cannot serve their clients honestly if they do not recognize it. Loyalty of investment officers of trust funds to commercial banking may blind them to the fact apparently less desirable envi¬ ronment for savings and loan.
