stock In Demand

In these days when fake stocks of
every kind and description are being
offered to the credulous buyer, who
to be good thing and later discovers
that he cannot find his money or any
thing nearly representing the amount
that he has advanced to boost some
other mans game. 1t is really RELIEF
to see some good, stable securities, Of
fered upon the open market, not at a
give-away price, but at a figure that
appeals to the people of good business
judgment. 1t is one thing to tell
of mechanics or finance but the in
vestor Of today is as wary as are the
people of Folks state, and earnestly
demand to be shown.
Wireless Stations Working
Among the prominent securities now
being offered to investors in this city
and along the Pacific coast may be
mentioned limited block of the stock
of the Occidental and Oriental Wire
less company of the De Forest system.
This is the company that holds the
rights to the Pacific coast states and
the orient, and a record of, what has
been accomplished and what is now
doing in the way of development Is
well worth the reading.
While others have been loud in say
ing, Watch what we will do" the
Occidental and Oriental company has
been doing, evidenced by the estab-
lishment Of stations in San Diego and
Los Angeles, the building of the sta
tion at San Francisco at Nome and
st. Michaels, Alaska, as we'll as de-
velopment work in other California
cities and towns. That the De Forest
company possesses the apparatus for
the proper transmission OF wireless
messages over land as well as sea has
been fully demonstrated. The success
of the San Diego and Los Angeles sta
tions is well known to everybody in
this city. and the service rendered at
the time of the recent floods and San
Francisco disaster is known to all.
New Stations Next
With the establishment of a few
more coast stations will come the
equipment of coasting vessels with the
De Forest apparatus. 1t is proposed
to furnish the news of the world to all
the journals os the Pacific coast by De
Forest wireless. and the next session
of the California legislature will be re-
ported by this agent.
Applications have been made to the
Occidental and Oriental company for
stations at many points in this and
other states, and by connection with
the parent company 1t is believed that
transcontinental service will be insti-
tuted within the next eighteen months.
The possibilities of the wireless sys-
tenn are innumerable, and when one
stops to think that the newspapers of
the country can and will be furnished
with full news service simultaneous
ly. and that at a not distant date the
orient will be in full communication
with the United States through the
Occidental and Oriental company, then
one really begins to grasp just what
big thing 1t is.
Not in Boom Class
There has been no effort to boom
the stock of this company, for the
reason that it is not in the boom class
It's securities are considered Just as
valuable as any today and it is the
unqualified belief of many that the
stock will pay a larger margin of
profit than any stock that has ever
been offered to investors. Telephone
stock was offered at a very low price
at the inception. and today is worth
$4,000; Edison Electric from 500 to
$4,000, and still neither held or hold the
possibilities of the wireless system,
which in time will be established in
every town and hamlet in the country
and the subsidiary companies, of
which the Occidental and Oriental
company is the strongest will be
source Of wealth to those who are in
terested in it's affairs.
Plans for Extension
Mr.. w. M. w. Thompkins, vice pres
ident and general manager, is now in
the city, and he, with Local Manager
Du Mont, is busily engaged in map
ping. out plans for extensions of the
service which will materialize in the
near future.
The Occidental and Oriental COM
pany is not associated with any other
company than the De Forest, and as
this system is the only one adopted,
used and indorsed by the United States
government it's strength is assured.
