To paraphrase Lincoln: That some
men have grown rich out of telegraph

others may become rich by investing
in the Marconi system.
A public realization of the facts above

There is a reason for this. Backing Mar

No harm can come to you from giving
ear to the exposition of the Marconi Wire

for yourself what it does now-what It
promises to do in the future.
We invite you to come and see what
we have to show you and to hear what
we have to tell you. Whether you become
Marconi stakeholder or not is a matter
between you and your pocketbook. We
want you to come and see If you believe
in the possible ultimate destiny of our

Marconi was the one man of all expert
