New Telephone Company
Offers Small Investor
an Unusual Opportun-
ity.

The time has come when the people
ought to own the public service corpora
tons and they are going to own them,
too. Here Is an opportunity for a small In
weston to buy stock that should ultimately
make him financially independent. The
conditions that make possible the success
Of this corporation are many times more
promising than they were when the Bell
Telephone stock was first offered to the
public.
The money for carrying out the plans
of this enterprise is being raised by the
sale Of common stock which is the only
form Of security issued. The old-tlme
method Of bonding this property to the
bursting point will not prevail In this enter
prise. Not a dollar in bonds, preferred
stock or security OF any kind stands ahead
or takes precedence over the common stock.
Every man or woman that wants a share
Of this stock in the Southern Telephone
Electric company will be on an equal foot
Ing first, last and all the time. The full
par value of the shares is 800, fully paid
ana forever worcestershire, but, like all
large enterprises, the first stock sold must
be offered at big sacrifice in order to
quickly raise sufficient capital to put the
company on good dividend-earninR basis
A portion Of the 500 shares of the South
ern Telephone Electric company is there
iore onered at S25 per share. The shares
mat are invested in at this low price of
80 VIII, in few months, not only be
worth their full par value but many
times more The shares OF the Home Tele-
phone company In Los Angeles could have
peen bought three or four years ago for
only 10 cents on the dollar These shares
OF common stock are now earning dividends
aIter the company has paid out thousands
OF dollars on tremendous bond issue
bear IN MIND that the Southern Telephone
hIectrlc company will have no bonds; that
1t has but one security-common stock-and
that every stakeholder is on an equal foot
ing.
shares of a certain bank in New York
CITY That stand for 500 value cannot be
bought for less than 5000. The Great
Northern railroad shares, at a par value
OF SlO0, sell in open market for $3.50. An
investment of $500 in Bell Telephone stock
some years ago would have made YOU a
millionaire today. There are many such
cases. but none Of them will ever show
such surprising rise as will the shares Of
the Southern Telephone Electric company
Many a clerk, grocer, plumber, carpenter
or other men Of moderate means who have
the foresight to realize the marvellous
possibilities of this investment and buy at
the present price will be numbered among
our rich men five years hence.
The profits that this telephone company
will make for its stockholders are almost
beyond calculation. The natural rise in
values of the shares. because OF the eX-
traordinary earning power, is likely to be
such that an investment of 500 at the re-
duced price at which the first shares are
marketed may at the end OF a few years
stand for a quoted market value Of 5000
and a yearly income of 500. II It does
this, and 1t is not at all unlikely that 1t
will. a man who invests $500 Ia lie shares
now will have a yearly income of LOCO
OF course the only time such colossal
profits can be made is at the verv start.
After this company organizes telephone
company after telephone company, estAb-
fishes plants in various cities and towns,
increases its earning capacity day by day,
the value of its shares will rise high IN
value and those who buy at the present
price OF S25 will be the ones who will reap
he biggest profits.
