Facts About the w. l..
Douglas Shoe Business.

To those familiar with the shoe or
leather trade it is we'll known that I
have been one of the largest, as well
as most successful, manufacturers and
retailers of mems Goodyear Welt
(hand-sewed process) shoes in the
world. u"
TheW.L. Douglas Shoe businessises-
tablished on an entirely different plan
from that of any other shoe concern.
The WI. Douglas product is market
ed in an original way. The method
by which the goods are sold has made
place for the Douglas shoe in all the
principal cities and towns in the
United States.
The business has been steadily ad-
vertised for nearly twenty years, until
now w. L. Douglas shoes are worn by
more people in all stations of life
than any other make.
The steady call upon the dealer for
W. L. Douglas shoes insures large
| and increasing business. The "a re-
tail stores in As American cities, owned
and operated by me, take portion of
the factory's product. This is all spot
| cash business. also sell to the retail
shoe dealers throughout the country,
havingusuallyb but oneagent in town.
Thus, in selling the product of the
factory through my own retail stores,
as we'll as to retail shoe dealers in
towns and cities where have no store,
I keep the factory constantly employ
ed, turning out 1900 pairs of shoes
per day. There has been no change
in the selling price or terms in eigh-
teen wears, the dealer always making
the same profit, thereby buying with
confidence. Short credits prevent the
dealer from getting overstocked.
My object in disposing of half-in-
terest in the business is primarily that
it be perpetuated and extended. The
name, W. l.. Douglas, which is &C
cepted everywhere as standard OF
merit, has been applied principally to
mems Goodyear Welt (hand sewed
process) shoes. 1t can as well be ap'
piled to all kinds and prices of mems.
women's and children's shoes.
The business has always been i'm
mensely profitable. Were my only
aim to accumulate money, this stock
would not be offered for sale.
III There has not been a year in the
4 past twelve when the business has not
earned in actual cash much more thar
an amount necessary to pay 10 annua
dividend on one million dollars, an6
the past four years the business ha:
more than doubled and still growing
began the business in Brockton il
a small way &c years ago, and from
time to time have increased it, unit
at present business amounting tx
SIS, 100000 annually is transacted.
AS an evidence of the prosperity o:
the business the fact is cited that from
1884 pairs of shoes sold in the yea1
ending July !, 1898, the business ha:
steadily Increased to 1,7ss, 1000 pairs fo1
the year ending July I, 1902, or more
than million pair increase.

Facts About the w. L.
Douglas Shoe Business.


An addition to the factory is now
being built, which will increase the
output from 1900 pairs to 10000 pairs
business to 81, 900, 900 for the year 1908
The manufacturing plant is right
up to date, equipped with every
modern device. About one-half of
the present factory has been built
and equipped with machinery the
past four years. A new power plant,
sufficiently large to meet all demands
that may be made upon it for several
years, was installed two years ago.
The manufacturing plant, machinery,
and all the 81 retail stores throughout
the country are free from incumbrance
of any sort, and the company has
sufficient cash on hand to conduct
business of 100000 annually with
out borrowing money.
Practically all the stock of the
w. l.. Douglas Shoe Go. is owned by
me. I am the president of the cor
poration. The business has always
paid good profit, and is now paying
better than ever.
I believe that the best way to per-
petuate the business is to let the
people own it and control it. have,
therefore, capitalized the business for
two million dollars, one million dol
lars of which is preferred stock and
one million dollars common stock.
The preferred stock, which is offered
to the public at par, is non-cumulative
and preferred both as to dividends
and assets. Every dollars worth Of
stock offered tho public in this sue
cessful business has more than dol
lars worth of actual, tangible assets
behind It. IN
Dividends will be declared rsemi-
annually, payable on January and
July 1, and will be payable in funds
current in New York or Boston.
There is nothing whatever Of a
speculative nature about the purchase
Of this stock. It is an old established
business, manufacturing staple
article of merchandise. The business
has been continuously successful for
more than quarter Of q century, and
is more prosperous to-day than at any
period Of its history. I retain half
Interest in the business. Ny interest
in the business is represented by the
common stock, and cannot receive
one cent of dividend on my stock
until the full ~ dividend has been
paid on all the preferred stock.
The Douglas business is not subject
TO fierce competition Or affected by
panics, therefore this is better invest
ment than any other industrial stock.
This is the best opportunity ever
offered for the permanent investment
of large or small sums of money. The
principal is secure, and the 10 annual
| dividend certain. I have never known
of anything better. )
:. To my friends and patrons Of many
| years I unhesitatingly recommend
the purchase of this stock as a safe,
| sound, conservative investment.

Each week new bodies Of sulphuraied

Ia the careful observer the mineral

No mining camp that ever existed

10 outside localities for reduction and
treatment. The product of big mines
is treated upon the ground, at the
dump or near by, and such will prove
the case in Tonopah Mills, smelters
and reduction works are promised in
the near future. Railroads will tap
this district and we will need but one
commodity that the outside world
can Supply-and that Is fuel. Every
necessary fuX can be supplied at our
door. The wet ores of Lone mountain
will treat the dry ones of Tonopah /;
rich deposits of iron ore are near by,
and with coke and coal supplied by
the railroad, not pound OF ore will
be shipped out of camp,
Lone Mountain to-day offers bet

to hold his property, do some devel-

before long capital will seek his local
ity for investment and the banner of
prosperity will wave over Lone noun
