These Bonds, at present price of gold, yield
over 9 per cent. interest, and as an investment
they are fully as secure as U. s. sos, which
now only pay "a per cent. in currency.
They only issued upon each section of the road
as fast as the same is completed and in successful
Grafton. Over two and half millions ofdollars have
been expended on the road. Eighty three miles are
about completed and equipped, and already show
large earnings and the remainder OF the line is rap
idly progressing toward completion.
The State Of Iowa, through which this road runs,
Is one Of the richest agricultural lions in Ameri
ca. Its large population extending with surprising
rapdity and its immense yield of grain, pork, WOOL
and other agricultural products create a ressing
demand for the construction of this road which at
lords the best possible guarantee to the bondholders
especially as the line through the wealthis
and most thickly populated section of the State.
THIS ROAD ALSO RUNS THROUGH THE
RICH AND GROWING STATE OF MINNESOTA
Reference to the map of the United States will show
that 1t traverses tho most Enferprisins
and Growing portion .. the West. md
forms enc Of the Great Trunk Lines In
Direct cemmunicatioa with New York,
Chicago and "a. Louis, being to the latter
city, 80 miles nearer from Northern Iowa and all
portions of the State OF Minnesota than by any other
road now built or projected, and also the nearest
roam from Central and Southern owa,
The read is opened for local traffic as rapidly as
constructed, and thus RECEIVES EARNINGS
ON ITS COMPLETED SECTIONS GREATLY
IN EXCESS OF AMOUNT NEEDED TO PAY
THE INTEREST UPON ITS BONDS BEFORE
THE ROAD rs FINISHED. The Buyer ef these
Bonds is therefore guaranteed, by great business
already in existence the route Of the road, as we
as by new current earnings. and has not to risk any
Of the contingencies which alUays attend the opening
Of roads in a new and unsettled country.
A limited quantity only OF these Bonds are now
offered at 95.
After thorough investigation of the above enter
prize, we recommend these Bonds frst-class in
vestment, affordiDg absolute safety and paying an
unusually liberal rate Of interest. All marketable
securities at their full price, tree of commission and
express charges, received in payment. Pamphlets
and maps furnished on application.
