know on earth today as an investment.
And as private stockholder, mot promo
ter desiring TO be a blessing I, nv
fellow men on all lines, and being deeply
grateful for their liberal contributions
to me In the past during my evangohstic
lGbors, | recommend this stock to them.
am not a stock broker, but a private
citizen doing this. The company is alb
solutely independent, having money sufsi.
Gent now to carry out their plans and
they advertise that tine is now reduced
to days when the stock will be advanced
to $1.00 per share or be taken OF the
market entirely, l am using all The
influence l have with the board Of dire;
tors to keep them from advancing the
price the LIST Of January. l am doing his
solely because during holidays peoples
minds are on other things, and / wish
my friends to have time to investigate
and invest in this grand organization. /
have not yet succeeded, but still have
hopes, and if / succeed I desire it 10 be
thoroughly understood that It is
my loyalty to my friends and
my personal influence with the company
that has caused the stock not to be ad-
vanced on January LIST. And II anyone
wants to attach any blame to any mn,
don't blame the company. Place ,&nie
on me. am trying to do this in ordor
to give my friends a show. To any one
contemplating a purchase of the took
however l will say: You had better
send checks at once to me, as | nave
no authority now for saing that you
can buy the stock for less than $1.00
per share after January 1st To re on
the safe side get in quick. 1 llso de-
sire to say in order that you may know
exactly what to depend upon, that / 10
not believe the company can commence
paying dividends before the summer,
fail or winter of 1904. But put your
$1,000, $500, $4,000, 500, $500, $500, ST.
000 $4,000, $4,000 right here now at Toe
per share. Lay your certificate in your
trunk and before commencement u
1905, barring strikes, you will begin TO
realize what l have recommended I'd
you. You can, however, sell your stock
for a profit long before this time. L Go
not say you will be able to get $1.00 for
it before the company commences to
pay dividends. But / do say that Tou
could sell for more than it cost you IN
few months, and if you will hold un-
til time mentioned you will draw Givi-
bends on $1.00 stock. And the mini
mum dividends the company, not my
SELF" expects to pay Will be 100 per cent
on present price ice per share per year
Now if anyone thinks it is gambling
for me to recommend to my frlenus
what 1 believe to be a first class in
vestment, the company does not need
your money. / would not have 1t II
knew it, and we are not asking you to
bu 1 am sending out this advertise
ment to my friends mot even to stFan-
gers If strangers desire to purchase
all right. If friends and strangers are
dubious about it and prefer to take
others advice and not touch this prop
osition. ''it Will be your loss" and
positively declare to you II will be al
right with me. But whatever YOU do
must be done quickly. Yours Faithfully,
