Before anyone had time to make much capital of this point, another test case proved the opposite. The Philadelphia Co. offered $48,000,000 of 4½% bonds, $12,000,000 of serial notes. The bonds were won competitively by a Kuhn, Loeb and Smith, Barney group for 100.3375, the notes by Mellon Securities and First Boston Corp. for 100.07.

But this week Republic was ready to offer another, 1941-style.
