Wealth and Its Acquire
 ment.
Opportunity Is the Keynote to Sue cess-How the Telephone Created
 Riches for the People.


 From The Lowell. Mass. Sun. Nov. i4.
 1905.
 The people of Lowell are particularly we'll acquainted with the history of the beginnings of the Bell telephone and know how that invention added mil- lions to the wealth of this city and made millionaires out of men who. had previously been poor
 To this chapter of our citys history there is shortly to be added another and when that history has been made a wonder tale as the story of the tele- phone does today. n s.a-
 It has been rightly said that there Is a tide in the affairs of men, which taken at the flood leads on to fort- une," and that Opportunity knocks once at the door of every man" Op- portunity, not chance, rules the des- tinies of man. and 1t Is the success full man who recognizes opportunity when presented to him.
 The time and the opportunity have arrived In Lowell when the record of the Bell telephone may be duplicated by all who are wise enough to recog- nize and to grasp it.
 Twenty-seven years ago Alexander Graham Bell came to Lowell to show the people here his wonderful invention and to ask their aid in establishing his system. He gave a series of demon- strations at Huntington hall. since de- stroyed by fire, and there solicited sub scriptions to the stock of his company. Few there were who had the foresight to seize that opportunity and there are thousands here today who regret the >doubt and skepticism that deterred them from accepting that great op- portunity for wealth. Five hundred to one thousand dollars then invested would have made the investor milr lionaire today.
 Another great inventor has sent his invention to Lowell to be exhibited and explained in order that her people may have a chance to benefit by his genius. Marconi, the great Italian in- ventor of the wireless telegraph that bears his name. has sent his apparatus here to show the people that what has been claimed for 1t Is only a very small part of what 1t will accom- pljsh. At the same time an opportu- nifty is offered the people to subscribe for the stock of his company at a time when such subscription can not fail to enrich the subscriber.
 Beginning tonight, at the Odd Fellows temple, there will be series of demon strations of the Marconi wireless tele- graph system. At 8 o'clock each eve ming there will be a lecture of expla- nation, telling how and why the wire less telegraph works. and how and why it will take it's place in the commer- eial world as one of the greatest in- dustriss ever created by man.
 Facts and figures will be given to show that in the operation of the wire less telegraph there Is to be greater margin of profit than in that of any other system of telegraphy, while at the same time greatly. decreasing the cost of telegraphic service to the public: 1t will he shown that the company Is al- ready upon paying basis and that the prospective rise in the value of the stock will afford almost immediate profits to the purchaser.
 It Is expected by the gentlemen in charge of the exhibition that there will be persons who will scof and sheer at the invention: that there Will be those who will declare it to be an impossible thing-they encounter doubt and denial wherever they go, but there is no doubt in the mind of the man who will honestly investigate ana weigh the evidence they present nor is there scoffins among those who wlt- ness the marvellous things they accom- plish.
 Upon the other hand the number Of those who doubt and deny today Is very small compared to- the number of the days of the beginning of the telephone There are hundreds who retain the memory of their own foolishness of those days. hundreds who with money to invest then, failed to do so and saw others grow rich while they remained noor These never neglect to buy Mar conf stock; they know the folly of put ling opportunity behind them--they are investing to the limit that Is plac- ed on the Marconi investment-200 shares. And in this limit that has been placed upon the amount of stock that will be sold to one person Is the most
