that this company will pay you full
face value for every share Of stock you
buy out of the royalties paid by rail-
road companies using my system.
You can use your stock as cash in
payment for fare or freight on any
road using my system.
You see, every road that uses my
system will have to pay our company
royalty every year simply for the
right to use it. These railroad COM
panies would just as soon pay us with
these certificates as to pay cash, and
the certificates would be the same as
cash to us.
This contract means that if you
bought 100 shares at the present price
you would be able to get at least $1,000
from any railroad using my system.
Or you could turn the certificates OF
stock In to us and get $1,000 in cash
when there is royalty money in our
treasury. don't. think you will ever
want to SELL because of the enormous
dividends we will pay. But If you
should be. compelled to sell your GER
