A statisician has estimated that if |
one good grain were added to each
ear ofcorn grown in one Of the estates
of the corn belt, it would add $780,
900 to the yearly product OF the
state. If, instead of one grain, a
dozen were added or if a whole ear
were added to each hill, the grain !
would be correspondingly greater,
running into the millions in the latter
case. Not only in corn, but in all the
products of the farm, including live
stock, Improvement is the watch
word of the times. Counties like
Jefferson and Dodge would be largely
enriched by adopting the best meth
DDS in any agricultural or live
stock line of work, as many of our
farmers are already doing. A good
agricultural paper like The Wisconsin
Farmer of Madison, Wis, setting
forth each week the best methods of
increasing the size and value of the
farmers output, is a boon to any
community. The Republican has
completed clubbing arrangements
with this excellent farm journal and
will be glad to forward your sub
scription for it.

Chicago to NeWYork in10Hours
Ccaeo-NeW York Electric Air Line Railroad
vance From $28 to $50 Share December Is.
20 Per Cent Increase

This week is the last opportunity to
buy Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line railroad stock at $28 a share.
December Is the price will advance to
$50. How long it will remain at $50
cannot now be determined One thing
is certain, stock is steadily advancing
toward par-$1O0 share. Those who
bought at $25 have made 20 per cent.
When it reaches par, as it will, they
will have made profit of 400 per cent.
When the Air Line takes its rightful
place among the money-making rail-
roads of the country, stockholders will
clear 600 per cent, 800 per cent, 1000
per cent-the earning possibilities of
twentieth century electric railroad,
uniting the two greatest commercial
and traffic centers on earth, are beyond
calculation. To say that the stock Of
such a railroad, without a bond out
standing, without a dollar of indebt-
edness, with an enormous business clam
oring for it's completion, eventually will
be worth $40O or $500 a share, is en-
tirely within the confines of reason.
Such a valuation would make ten
shares, which today cost $3.50, worth
$4,000. Smaller Investments than that.
So, 900. Smaller investments than that,
stock, made greater fortunes.
These are possibilities which will
come to pass when this great railroad
is completed, sending it's limited trains
from Chicago to New York in ten hours,
reaching out for business with an I'M
paralleled service into all parts of the
most densely populated and prosperous
districts of the United States-passen-
ger business, express business, mail con-
tracts, freight traffic, the sale of cleo
tricity for light and power.
What of the immediate future? Will
stock go to par?
Here is an electric railroad being
built from La Porte, Indiana, to Chi
cago, less than sixty miles. It is one
of perhaps fifty electric roads of equal
or greater length, projected or under
construction in various parts of the
country. AS a local interurban rail-
road it is good financial proposition
and its stock a safe and profitable in
vestment. But it differs from other
railroads in several particulars:
In the first place this road will be
part OF trunk line, much shorter than
any existing line, which will bind to-
gether Chicago and New York in a
ten-hour service. In addition to prof.
liable local business for the section now
building, and the succeeding sections as
fast as completed, an immense volume
of all kinds of through business anx-
iously awaits it's completion. Because
this section, now being constructed, will
be. an integral part Of a great trunk
line, this road is being better built
than any other railroad in the world.
The Chicago-New York Electric Air
Line will be as smear perfect as money
and science can make it-without a.
grade crossing, without curve except
in the mountains, without real compe-
tition. -.. g..
Nd. II. T. ~ ~
The Minneapolis journal. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1888-1939, 1906-12-09
Enormous Profits

In the second place this road differs
from other railroads in that it is being
built by the people, through a sale of
stock, without bonds, and will be turned
oyer to the o stockholders for operation
enormous through business, added to a
profitable local business, must mean great
profits to stockholders, especially when we
consider a saving Of at least twenty five
per cent through electric operation, as
compared with steam
AS the volume of sales increases, as the
work of construction progresses and adds
to the tangible assets of the company, the
value of the stock will steadily advance.
BY the time the first electric train runs
into La Porte shares will be selling near
par. In fact, your stock will be exchange
able at par for transportation, by the
terms Of the contract.
Bradstreet's commercial reports again
call attention to the need for more rail-
roads. The Nations Necessity Is Your
Opportunity. Don't walt until stock goes
to $50; buy this week at $28. All offices
open until p. m.
