SECOND DIVIDEND, Is PER CENT,
DECEMBER II. 11OO.


The second dividend will come from a
crop OF pineapples; $4,000 plants are now
growing and will produce in time to meet
this dividend. The product should yield a
net profit of over $4,000. This would net
the investor over 20 per cent. on the
money he will have paid in at that time.
so it will be seen that our estimate of 10
per cent. dividend is a most conservative
one
Dividends will be paid annually, begin
ming December 1899, increasing each year
as the plantation approaches maturity, so
that the annual dividend profits paid to
the investor in each year during the
monthly payment period. will actually re-
duce their installments nearly 80 per cent
THIS is WHAT WE ARE DOING.
We are developing 1000 acres of as fine
land as exists in the very heart of the
rubber and coffee belt, on the Isthmus of
,Tehuantepec. Mexico.
We are planting 10000 pneapples. 125,OOO
rubber trees. 10000 vanilla vines and 10000
coffee trees.
This is full cultivation of the property
When the above comes into full bearing
the annual net profit realized will be over
$4,000, or over $50 per share each year
for the next forty or fifty years. Is it
not worth little effort on your part to
obtain an interest in so valuable prop
erty as this?
HOW DONE.
The plan of this company makes ii pos
sible for any man or woman TO secure an
income for LIFE by investing with them
$50 per share each month for a period
of forty months. There are no fur her ex-
penses, no fines or other fees; 200 per
share, payable in forty monthly INSTALL
ments of $50 each.
