l desire TO particularly impress on you the
fact that il is absolutely necessary that you
should carefully read and fully grasp and UNDER
stand the following features:
FIrst-That Is per cent profits assured In
our advertising and other matter comes from
our Foundry and our Steel and MalleabIe Iron
and Casting Department alone.
Second-Absolutely no mention is made
anywhere in any of our literature of the vast
profits that will POSITIVELY accrue from our
Portable Refiner or Generator, our Crude Oil
Engine and our Crude Oil Burner for steaming
and domestic use.
Thrd-We have already several hundred
orders for our Crude Oil Burners and more are
pouring in every day. These burners are not
an experiment. large number of them have
been in use for long time; they have given most
perfect satisfaction, and this Company is in
possession of many unsolicited testimonials from
those who are using them that We will be glad
TO send you, should you so desire. The profit
on these burners exceeds 500 per cent. Over
5000 can be sold annually.
Fourth-That more orders are already
assured us for our Foundry and Casting Dept
than we can possibly fill If we run day and night
next year and double our capacity In the bar
gain. This should occasion no surprise. as all
other factories Of like character are from nine
to twelve months behind with their orders and
ours are the only two factories of this kind
in the entire Southwest. You can easily
verify this upon proper inquiry.

Friday, the l4th of June, will be
the one hundred thirtieth anniversary
of the birth of the flag of the United
States. The flag was designed for a
nation of thirteen colonies, stretched
like a belt along the Atlantic coast,
made up of less than three millions OF
people without common traditions OF
language; drawn together only by
common danger from savages within,
and oppression from without, which
threatened their existence and liber.
ties. That flag now waves over q
great nation, extending from the Cult
of Mexico TO the Lakes: from the At.
lantic to beyond the Pacific Sea- and
inhabited by nearly ninety millions
of people, who speak common Ian.

Our flag is now-in form 1.-THE old.
est flag of civilized nations. The re.
solution by Congress for the adoption
OF the Stars and Stripes on June the
l4th, III, was as follows: "Resolv.

ing new cons citation. - The design
OF this flag is credited to George
Washington, and in part was taken
from his family coat of arms. Such
is the origin of flag dedicated to the
proposition that ''all men are created
free and equal" Let us honor the
natal day of our national f1ag-dis-
playing it from our public buildings,
schools. and homes in recognition of
this memorable day.
The men of the Grand Army of the
Republic, who preserved the nation
IN the greatest war of modern times
and made vital the Declaration of our
fathers, call upon all who live under
the flag to recognize this day by pa.
triotic observances in schools and-on
the Sunday preceding-in churches.
To this end we suggest that the
Governor OF every State by proclama
ton announce the day and promote its
recognition; that the press scatter
this call-as seeds of patriotism
broadcast over the land. Such reccg-
milton will nourish the greatness of
our nation, inculcate noble citizen
ship, the principles OF civil liberty,
and be an object lesson to the new
generations that have come upon the
stage since the Civil War.
