When Commodore Vanderbilt wa
asked how he made his great fortun
of S90,000.0o0 he replied: ut was al
"aSy matter to become T. .ch: just watcl
for the opportunity. and then TAX
advantage of IT. said he. Il com
menced with only few hundred dol
lars But there are many peopl,
who cannot recognize the opporunit,
- make money. They may have .
little sum to invest but are not il
the position TO know what is going
on.
Ii is well known fact that Com
modore Vanderbilt made most of IN:
fortune buying stocks at a low price
ard holding Oh uGtl they had an i'm.
mensc rise. lie had the peculias
gift of knowing just when to buy and
when tG sell. Other men have made
great fortunes in stocks of one kind
"r another. among them being John
W. Maekay, the RockafeiIers, and
Jay Gould. They all started with
small sums.
Amens the stocks that have been
sensational in their development is
the Bell Telephone stock, rising from
very low price to over 200. This
stock has paid large dividends and
made the original investors rich.
Ten Millions a Year.
The Western Union Telegraph Co.,
started business with SJ0G,000 of
capital stock. Its present capital
stock is 100000. 600, and pays So
100000 a year net profit to the stock
holders.
There are many other high priced
stocks that cost original buyers a
very low price, and now pay large
dividends on many millions of capital
stock.
The Edison Electric is an other
notable example of wonderful de-
yeiopment and profit. A broker who
bought twenty shares of the original
stock at 45, costing 5000, sold half of
1t in year later, getting $50, 900 for
10 shares.
The Pullman Palace Car Com
panys gross earnings have grown
until they are over 100000 a year
and the stock has gone up from
low.price to $50.
There are many chances of making
investments, but there are none like
the Railway and Dock Construction
stock and many prominent men in
banking, railroad and financial circles
say this stock, which can be bought
now for $40 per share, is sure to sell
at 80 hefore long, and eventually
have an immense rise like the Bell
Telephone, the Edison Electric, and
Pullman Palace Car stocks.
The par value is sl00 share and
Il e stock H full paid and noa-access-
able. The stockholders have no in
dividual liability whatever.
Mr.. Edward a. Wilson, the we'll
known Vanderbilt broker, says: "In
our twenty Years experience we have
aever handled stock of such intrin-
sic merit Or one which will pay such
big profits. This stock gives the |
small investor aA equal chance with
the capitalist, as the small investor
generally has to bug at par and he
content with dividend of 6 or 1oo
n year. ANY one can invest in Rail
way and Dock Construction stock now
at $40 per share 0he par value is
sl00 and they can buy from one
share upwards mt the same price a
capitalist buys al thousand shares.
The stock is certain to have a steady
1'ise when investors and spectators
become aware Of its great value as the
earnings will pay four and a half per
cent, on the par value of the shares
which equals As per cent cash divi-1
dcnds per year on stock bought ucw
at the low price of $40 per share.
Surely this isan opportunity which
is met with but .ence liz life time.
There will be lively times in this ;,
stock when it is listed on the Stock
Exchange. We deal in numerous
bonds that pays from ito ) per cent
a year. We are so confident Of thei
profits that will accompany iavest-
ment in this stock that we have not
the slightest hesitation advising our,
clients to sell their bonds and invest
