"Seeing will be believing" in this matter,

public at large and the world in general
come to regard the name of keely as they DO
that of Fulton or Waits. Mr.. Keely
saws that the first public exhibition
will be upon the Pennsylvania railroad

He will have the "generatOr stationed al

For street-cars, as motive power this in

will range from $500 to $1,000, according to
the size alid finish desired. '
II is evident from the character of the gen.
tlemen who are interested in the "keely
Motor Company" and the amount OF
money they have advanced, that they regard
this invention as the wonder of the nineteenth
century. They all speak favorably of Mr..
Keely's personal integrity and capabilities,
and have even gone so taraS to hit him up from
his position of pecunary embarrassment, and
purchase and furnish large house for bis
use, aad pay him large sums OF money for
his personal expenses. About four millions
of dollars are already involved in the success
of this rev invention.
