The Canon City Land and Improvement
COMPANY.

The first meeting of the board OF direct
ors of this company was held on April 11th,
1881, principal business done, the election of
officers, and the adoption of by laws. Off
GERS elected: president, j. H. Harrison I;
vice-president, J. II. Peabody: secretary,
Fred. II. Skeele; treasurer, J. F. Camp
bell, who with +. A. Reynolds. o. B. Myers
and Il. S. Lewis are the directors for the
first year. General agent. Fred. H. Skccle.
The principal object in the formation Of
this company is to benefit our town by the
purchase and immediate improvement OF
property. We have a prosperous and beau
tiful city, and it is believed that this COM
pany will do much to add to Its prosperity
and beauty. 1t is the purpose of the COM
pany, by the combination of capital and
effort to secure better bargains in real es-
tate, and to erect buildings thereon cheaper
than can be done by the individual. There
IS q great demand for the better class of
residences and it is the purpose of the COM
pany to supply this want first. The company
propose to buy tiacts OF land adjacent to
the town, and plat it into lots, and by i'm
proving some of them reap the benefit OF
their improvements themselves by the in
creased value of the remaining lots. The
capital stock of the company is 100000
divided in 10000 shares of ten dollars each,
full paid and non assessab.e.
The company wish all the stock possible
taken in Canon. They want every citizen
in town to have personal interest in the
welfare Of the company, as its success will
do much for the town, and If each citizen
becomes stakeholder, the company receive
a double benefit, that of the use of their
money and their personal interest and ell
fort for its success.
The basis Of the company is real estate,
every dollar received from sales of stock
and profits accruing will be mediately In
the stock of the company becomes absolute
ly safe and profitable.
The management pay themselves no large
salaries, but depend entirely upon the sue
cess of the undertaking for theirprofit.
The directors have decided to sell limit
ed amount of the stock to Canon City peo.
pie ONLY, at S5 per share, Issued full paid,
as an inducement to our people to person
ally interest themselves In the welfare OF
lhe project. The books for subscription TO
stock will be opened on Monday, May 2nd,
1881, at the Office OF the secretary, Fred. IL.
Skeele, and IL is hoped that every citizen
will take some stock AT ONCE as this offer
is limited in amount and time. II
