stick TO my original proposition-the
ono first started out with. That Great
western Gold Mining Company stock at
zoe ner share is the very best gilt-edged
;,,,os+,non4 an the American continent to-
dow am so glad that the company has
decided to postpone advancing the price OF
fbo stoo< for A few days, as the following
telegram shows: oo
St. Louis, Mo-, Dec. "a. 1903
W. P. Fife:
Great Western board of directors adj
ionrnod after two days session; decided to
noo+nona advance for few days to insure
plenty working capital. Affairs in mag
nificent shane. Every stockholder should
be congratulated.
r. 6. HENDERSON, President.
Would say the plant is all paid for we
will sell the stock for few days longer
70 insure plenty working capital. Many
q frst-class enterprise has gone to pieces
because of the failure of the board OF dl-
rectors making this provision. This com
nanv does not intend to make mistake
nf 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
mining company or an industrlal com
pany that can show such record. Inc
only lesson YOU can read from this Is the
popularity of the stock and the hrm lalth
THAT investors have in the final outcome Oh

thing I have never before said in print,
that u.s. Knowing the situation OF the

magistrate and testify that TINS is my non
est belief say to you there is nothlnS
| in America today, according to my candid
| opinion. that is equal to it as an invest
ment l have never tried to sell TINS STOCK
! as q speculation but as an investment
! that will grow III value, that will earn you
money when you become too old to earn

homes IN the declining years OF its owners
! | have urged men of small means to buy
Great Western stock for his own beneflt;to

here. | have urged men OF moderate
mean to do The same. Very fey men are

matter what the, salary may be. You

There are few of them but what live up

demand of them certain things-demand
that they should live in Il certain manner
BETTING their positions. They cannot
save. The only way, then, to accumulate
4 competence is by shrewd Investment.
Seine men arc content to go and spend
/ their income and live from hand to mouth,

ambitious. There is that spirit of Ameri-
can independence which is Unborn and is
part of the very existence OF men VINO
! live under the American flag. They want
10 be Independent, yet many OF them do
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 Gold
Mining Company. | am aware that leglt-
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 a mercan-
tile establishment fail, and those who are
injured are usually wholesale dealers. You
may let a railroad go into the hands of
receiver, and it Is usually the wealthy
who are affected. You never hear any
thing about these. You will go right on
and buy railroad stocks. You will buy
| industrial stocks, and bank stocks, and
paw three or four times what they are
worth. You will buy the goodwill of an
| institution and never think about the
failures that have been recorded in that
! line OF business. You will deposit your
| funds in a bank or trust company for
tie pitiful sum of to 4 per cent earnings,
never realizing for single moment that
| the banks and the trust companies fire.
duently go to the wall. But let a mining
company fail, and every one of you will
make a note of it and condemn ALL If you
have lost money in a 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 themselves
which YOU placed in trust company or
a bank to draw the pitiful sum Of or
Ger cent, were taken from these very
mines which you condemn, by some bold,
courageous spirit who desired independ-
encc in wealth as well as in citizenship. 1t
LOOKS rather funny, don't it? There is a
line which is well defined, drawn as GER
! tainly as the needle points to the pole.
