OFFICE OF FISK & HATCH,
Bankers and inianecial Ageats of the Chesa peake and Ohio Railroad Co.,
NO. 5 NASSAU STREET, NEW YORK.
Within a year the CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO RAILROAD will be in operation as a
through-line from the Atlantic to the Ohio, crossing the great iron beds of Virginia
and the remarkable coal deposits of the Kanawha Valley. After its Western connections are completed, it will form a favorable and popular through-route between the
coast cities and Cincinnati, Louisville, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans, St. Louis,
Chicago, and San Francisco.
We are now selling the last of the FIFTEEN MILLION GOLD LOAN, secured by
mortgage on the whole railroad property. These bhnds combine perfect safety with
a fair income, and a prospective advantage in their future market value. Holders
of Five-Twenties, or other high-priced securities, can exchange for these bonds, and
realize a handsome increase in the amount of their invested principal and their annual income, without impairing the security of their investment.
THE CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO BONDS are issued in $Ioo, $500, $,o000; either
coupon or registered; interest six per cent, gold, payable May and November.
Price, for the present, 93 and accrued interest from November I. We recommend
them to our friends and customers with the same confidence with which we have
always recommended the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT and the CENTRAL PACIFIC
BONDIS.
We buy and sell FIVE-TWENTIES, TEN FORTIES, EmGHTY-ONES, and CENTRAL
or WESTERN PACIFICS, or receive them in payment for CHESAPEAKE AND OHIO
BONDS, at their current market price.
Deposit account of banks, bankers, and others, received, on which we allow oalr
per cent, interest. Checks payable on presentation, without notice, the same as at
a National Bank.
