7 stick to my original proposition-the
one 7 first started out with. That Great
Western Gold Mining Company stock at
Toe. per share is the very best git-edged
investment on the American continent to-
dav. / am so glad that the company has
decided to postpone advancing the price of
the stock for a few days, as the following
telegram shows:
st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. "a, 1908.
w. p. Fife
Great Western board of directors adj
iourned after two days session; decided to
POSTPONE advance for few days to insure
plenty working capital Affairs in mag
nificent shape. Every stakeholder should
be congratulated.
T. S. HENDERSON, President.
Would say the plant is all paid for. We
will sell the stock for a few days longer
to insure plenty working capital. Many
a first-class enterprise has gone to pieces
because of the failure of the board OF dl-
rectors making this provision. This COM
panv does not intend to make a mistake
Of this kind 1t is careful and conserva-
| tive. There are 5000 stockholders belong
| ing to the Great Western Gold Mining
Company Every State and Territory IN
this Union is represented, and there is not
a mining company or an industrial COM
pany that can show such record. The
only lesson you can read from this is the
popularity of the stock and the firm faith
hoN In ha al ct
the organization. Granite Mountain Min
ing Company sold her stock at lOc, per
share and inside of a few years her stock
was selling at $65 per share. LIE Roi Gold
Mining Company sold her stock at DC. and
10c per share; now selling at 5000 per
share. Mountain Copper stock, par value
Isl, same as Great Western par value; stock
now selling at $40 / will now say some
thing l have never before said in print,
that is: Knowing the situation OF the
property as / do, the quality OF ore it IS
now producing the affairs and the man
agement of the company as it now exists,
barring strikes the stock you are now
buying at Zoe. from the Great Western
Gold Company will be selling on any mar
ket in the world inside of five years at
from SIS to $50 per share. / would be per
fectly willing to go before any judge or
magistrate and testify that this is my hon
est belief. ] say to you there is nothing
in America today, according to my candid
opinion, that is equal to it as an invest
ment have never tried to sell this stock
as speculation, but as an investment
that will grow in value, that will earn you
money when you become too old to earn
it for yourself. firmly believe that Great
Western will be the comfort OF many
homes In the declining years OF its owners.
I have urged men of small means to buy
Great Western stock for his own benefit; t.
take a part OF his earnings and invest it
here. L have urged men of moderate
mean to do the same Very fey men are
able to gain competence on salary, no
matter what the salary may be. You
take man that makes $500 per month
There are few of them but what live UP
to their ncome. The positions they occupy
demand of them certain things-demand
that they should live in a certain manner
BETTING their positions They cannot
save. The only way, then, to accumulate
la competence is by shrewd investment
Some men are content to go and spend
their income and live from hand to mouth
but the majority of American people are
ambitious. There is that spirit OF Ameri
can independence which is Unborn and is
a part OF the very existence OF men Wht
live under the American flag. They want
to be independent, yet many OF them DC
not strike the way. 1t is the desire and
the pleasure of the writer to point out the
way by which you can become absolutely
independent of any man on the face OF the
earth, and that is by investing your mon
ey in the stock OF the Great Western Colo
Mining Company. l am aware that legIt
innate mining companies have burden
to bear. They are condemned on account
of failures made in mining, where in many
cases bad judgment has been used. They
are condemned on account of every wild
est scheme, and returned to them as be
ing a loss to the investor These burdens
they have to bear. You may let mercan
tile establishment fail, and those who are
injured are usually wholesale dealers. YoJ
may let a railroad go into the hands o
a receiver, and it is usually the wealthy
who are affected. You never hear any
thing about these. You will go right or
and buy railroad stocks You will buy
industrial stocks, and bank stocks, ant
paw three or four times what they are
worth You will buy the goodwill of ar
institution and never think about the
failures that have been recorded in thai
line OF business. You will deposit your
funds in a bank or a trust company fol
the p;tiful sum of to per cent earnings
never realizing for a single moment that
the banks and the trust companies fire
uuently go to the wall But let a mining
company fail, and every one of you vii
make note of it and condemn all. If you
have lost money in fake mining com
pany, then all mines look alike to you
You should treat all of these institutions
fairly. Place them on an equality. Re
member that the very dollars themselve:
which you placed in trust company OF
bank to draw the pitiful sum of 8 OF
per cent, were taken from these very
mines which you condemn, by some bold
courageous spirit who desired independ
ence in wealth as well as in citizenship. L
/, looks rather funny, don't it? There is {
line which is well defined, drawn as Ger
tainly as The needle points to the pole
