The Standard OIL Company Monopoly.
MONUMENTAL GASOLINE WORKS,
BALTIMORE, May ~, 1883.


Mr.. EDITOR: You have no doubt seen the no.
tees and remarks of the various Baltimore news
papers as to the doings of the standard Oil Com
pany Monopoly" and the fight we independent
people are making against them. You may
imagine we will have hard fight.
The papers here are doing all they can for us.
and voluntarily too, on their part. hope you
will give our cause few timely remarks in your
paper. Hartford county is largely interested in
this fight, as she consumes about 5000 barrels of
gasoline during the packing season. An advance
of cent or two gallon on the amount consumed
would be an enormous drain on the packers and
pretty good thing for the Standard Oil Company
and just as soon as we are beaten, the prices will
be put up; otherwise why do they want to go to
the expense of the fight, and assure you it is
costing them large sums of money. Just as we
started up our works, about the end of April,
they dropped at once over dollar barrel on
their 8S gasoline, (Which is the product we make
our profit ono hoping in that way to discourage
us. They boldly talk of "how long 1t will be be-
fore we get sick" We don't calculate to get sick
at all and propose to see that Hartford county
Gamers get their gasoline at fair prices, and be-
fore the season begins propose to canvas the
whole trade and appeal to them to help fellow
Hartford man to fight the millionaire monopoly"
giving the same Foods for the same money. With
fair support from our friends, we be hard to
whip. Very truly, yours,
ALBERT NELSON.

N EW STOCK
Of
The Warlng Fertilizer COMPANY

nWING tn the large increase of business expo
~ rieuced by the Warning Fertilizer Company
since the organization of the company three years
ago they find the present paid-up capital of
10000 too small for its requirements
They have therefore decided TO increase the
Capital Stock to SlN,UGO The present Common
Stock To be increased $1,000 making it $50 900,
and $50 900 of Preferred Stock issued. The Pre-
fcrred Stock will bear fixed dividend of 4 per
cent per annum, payable semi-annuay. The
whole income of Company is pledged for the pay
mcnt of this per cent dividend and the entire as
sets of the Company for the payment of the prin-
cpa
The conservative basis on which the business of
the Company is conducted and the fact that their
dealings are among farmers, the safest class of
commercial credits known, makes the business
one of the safest that can be found
The Common Stock lof which but $4,000 is to
be i-sucdO Judging by their past experience may
be expected 10 pay dividends better than per
cent
The Preferred Stock having the whole assets of
the Company, including the SU,NO of Common
Stock between 1t and any possible loss, must be
one OF the safest per cent. investments. and
owing to the certainty and prompness of the
dividends, one of the most satisfactory.
The present char; er of the Company will en-
pire two years hence. when stockholders who may
wish to do so, will have an opportunity of with
