IT, It took faith that the project was so
big and broad and well-concelyed that the
necessary $50. 900 would be forthcoming.
The profits that this great electric road Will
make for its stockholders are almost beyond
calculation, while the natural rise in value
OF tho shares because OF the extraordinary
earning power is likely 10 be such that on
investment OF 500 1t the reduced price at

road is built and the people see IT. In actual
working order. see 1t rolling up profits and
making money like a mint. there viii be
slight reason TO otfer the shares at any con-

road Will earn thousands upon thousands OF

The road VIII undoubtedly commence earn

will do It by opening up and operating the

II has been shown that electric service
through r region of this character yields
a gross traffic income OF from $40 TO Sl7 90
per capita of the population. Even at the
lower estimate OF $40 per capita. the gross
profits figure up 10 Si90o.0O0. Our operating
expenses Will not exceed 20 per cent OF tho
gross receipts. and this would leave net earn

pay dividends OF about 1913 per cent on the

OF course. but are based facts and
