1 Read every word of what follows and then come up and ask us all the questions you can think of.
 DEMAND documentary proof of the truth of our assertions.
 Don't take anything for granted.
 Ask us to Show You.
 But don't miss this one good chance to make the most profitable investment of your lifetime.
 Naturally before you invest your money in the shares of the Marconi Wireless Telegraph company there are some things that you want to know
 Every man has some particular line of inquiry that he desires to make.
 We cannot anticipate all of them.
 We must rely upon you to ask ques tions.
 1 Some people think they are taking a risk in handing their money over to us, and that they may never receive the shares for which they have paid.
 For the satisfaction of such as these we carry written authority to receive and receipt for moneys and accept ap- plications for the shares of the Mar conf company
 Our receipt is binding upon the firm we represent and it's possession is proof conclusive of your right to the delivery of the shares.
 As a matter of fact, we could not remain In Birmingham 24 hours with. out being put in jail unless we were selling with full authority.
 Furthermore, Birmingham news papers would not accept our advertise 1 ments unless we had first satisfied them of our authority.
 Newspapers always protect their readers from fraud by making proper inquiry.

 We can talk to d whole city full of people through the press. where we can talk to only one man at time by the personal interview.
 If we were trying to sell this stock in large blocks of thousands of shares at time it would be different
 Personal solicitation would be the thing in that case.
 But we don't want to sell the stock in large blocks.
 We would rather sell one share each to 1000 persons than to sell 5000  shares to one person.
 What we seek is the strength of numbers as well as the strength of dollars
 The Bell Telephone company has over 125,000 shareholders in all parts of the country; the Pennsylvania Rail- road company has over 50,O00 share. holders in Pennsylvania; the Western Union Telegraph company has over 75000 shareholders; may this not account in some degree for this won derful strength and influence of those corporations?
 We think it does.
 We want the people back of the Marconi company in the same way, and to induce them to join with us We offer them an opportunity to share in what is destined to be the greatest money-making enterprise ever inau- gurated on the American continent.
