Mr. Gassaway explained that to me,

1t will be impossible for me to-"
But that needn't bother you at all.
Mr.-ah-Blankington Mr.. Gassaway
has friend in the banking business
who will advance the price of this
BLOCK OF stock at six per cent and you
can pay for it by the month. | don't
wish to take up any of your time, but
we desire before the stock is all gone

derstand fully what the proposition is
There is not the slightest chance that

er friend take it, then, instead of lend
ing his money at six per cent. to Other
people why buy?"
That's another point that | wish tc
explain to you. You see, we intend tC
make it close corporation and keeI
1t so, and if you don't feel that you
can afford to take 20 shares we will be
willing to let you have ten, only ii
would be too bad if you were to let the
chance go by to get it at the present
figures. There is absolutely no doubt
that after the first year the dividends
will be greatly increased and"
I'D like to go in, but there's no use
talking about 1t now. l haven't any
money to spare and | don't wish tc

Another point to which l wish t

time, and if you don't wish to join III
a there will be no use in explaining mat

probabilities are that you will hav'
an investment worth at least ten time

l out is"
"You will really have to excuse me

"And here is another thing that 20
