But that needn't bother you at all.
Mr., -ah-- Blankington. Mr.. Gassaway

can pay for II by the month. | don't
wish 20 take up any OF your time. but
Wa desire before the stock is NIL gone,
a. II will be tomorrow. TO let you un-
deFstand fully what the proposition IL.
There IL not the slightest chance that
II will be possible 20 buy share of Il
In three months from now for less than
| $40, and the probabilities are that IL

| cent. the first year We"
why doesn't Mr. Gassaway's bank
| er friend take II. then. instead OF lend
ing his money At ak per cent. 70 other
people why buy.
That's another point that wish to

make II a close corporation and keep
II %. and II you don't feel that you
can AFFORD 10 take 20 shares We will b
willing 10 let you have tan. only IL
would be too bad II you wer~ to lot the
