8 Per Cent Gold Bonds
Fully Guaranteed by First Mortgage and Profit Sharing
Stock Bonus

To every purchaser of these bonds
the company will give rs per cent
bonus in stock, and as the company
is Incorporated for only $250,OOO, or
IA to LILO the amount of other re-
duction companies, the bonus is
equal to 100 per cent to 200 per cent
in large capitalized companies, This
stock itself is quoted at 65c bid. In
side of two years we predict the
stock you will receive as bonus
will be worth what you pay for the
bonds and stock, leaving your bonds
as a NET PROFIT, earning you a
yearly income of 8 per cent.
The interest on these bonds will
be paid semi-annually at the bank
of the Merchants Trust company,
Los Angeles, Cal.
These bonds are in denominations
of 500 each, maturing in ten (1O)
years-each bond has twenty cou-
pons attached, face value of $4.0O
each. On the day the interest falls
due coupon is clipped from the
bond and presented at the bank for
payment and the bondholder will
receive his interest.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-31
Concluding
Facts

In conclusion, we wish to call your
attention to these few facts:
The bondholder is secured against all
possible loss:
First--By holding first mortgage upon
all the assets of the corporation issuing
the bonds.
Secondly deed of trust to real prop
erty of the estimated value of $25G,00O.
Third-The bondholder holds first
lien upon the personal property OF every
stockholder of the corporation.
The Ell Zagel Reduction Company Is a
Nevada corporation, incorporated for
s250000, consisting of 100000 shares or
stock of the par --alue of 81 each.
The bonds are safe, and your money
and the interest on 1t are fully protected.
OF the total capitalization there remains
in the treasury 100000 shares.
The stock is selling in the neighborhood
of so cents per share.
The total amount of the bond issue is
100000. THESE BONDS ARE DIVI-
DEND SHARING, and the bondholder
has the privilege of voting the face value
of his bonds at all stockholders meetings,
thereby giving him a voice in the man
agement of the affairs of the corporation.
If you want to invest, or if you want
information regarding this or any other
Nevada investment write us and we Will
try and please you.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-31
Dividend
Sharing

1t is very probable that this corpora
ton WILL PAY A DIVIDEND OF 20
PER CENT THE FIRST YEAR that the
plant runs. This added to the eight per
cent interest would NET A BONDHOLD-
Err rs PER CENT on his investment.
Now, there are two features to these
bonds-one is a safe, sound and conserv-
ative investment, the other is speculative.
The face value of the bonds and the s
per cent interest are guaranteed by a
deed of trust to real property estimated
at value of S250000, placed with the
Merchants Trust Company, one of the
leading banking institutions of Los An
geles. California, having a paid up cap
ital of $500,000.
The dividends which may be paid upon
these bonds is not guaranteed, and your
own good common sense alone can tell
you your probable chance of realizing
dividends upon your investment.
AS was stated before after carefully
considering the proposition we believe
these bonds will pay 20 per cent in divi-
dends the first year the reduction plant
runs. There Is a possible chance that
these bonds will pay IS high as so per
cent dividends. However, this is a spec
ulation that costs the investor nothing,
as we wish to place these bonds upon the
guaranteed per cent interest rather than
the probable profits to be derived in the
way of dividends.
Los Angeles herald., 1908-05-31
A Safe
Bond

A safe bond that pays s per cent is a
comparatively rare investment.
Eight per cent bonds purchasable in
amounts from $100 upward still more
rare Most bonds are in denominations
of $1,000 each placing them beyond the
reach of the man or woman with COM
paratively small sums to invest.
Most of them pay but or per cent
interest.
Most bonds are secured by first mort
gage upon valuable property, which guar
antees the payment of both principal and
interest, but the holder of the bond has
no active interest in the affairs of the
company issuing the bonds.
The bonds we offer not only pay s per
cent interest but THE HOLDER OF THE
BOND RECEIVES THE SAME BENE-
FITS AS A STOCKHOLDER in a cor
poration that is, he has the privilege
of voting the value of his bonds, the same
as a stockholder can vote the value of
his stock at all stockholders meetings.
AND RECEIVES THE SAME PROFITS
IN THE WAY OF DIVIDENDS from his
bonds that the stockholder receives upon
his stock. AT the same time instead of
being responsible for the obligations of
the corporation. as the stockholder is,
HE is EXEMPT FROM ALL OBLIGA-
TIONS and holds a first mortgage not
only upon the stock of the stockholder
but upon all the real estate and other
assets of the corporation in which he is
a bondholder.

Two Clever

A pretty southern girl recently show
ed herself a match for the curious
minded women in her boarding house
who We're bent on kncxying what her
fathers business was.
As a matter of fact. he was an I'M
dertaker. but the girl was a bit sensi-
tive on this point. SO she made up her
mind not to crafty their curiosity.
When unduly pressed on the point she
answered.:
Hes a southern planter"
b was quite within the bounds of
truth and completely threw the inquis-
tive n OFF the track.
: The retort of a well known actress to
a similar question about the occupation
OF her father, who was a letter carrier
In her old home, was not Inferior IN
fnesse to that Of the Dixie girl.
It was when she first began playing
In London. Some one asking what
business her father was engaged iii,
she sweetly replied that he wass"a man
OF letters" -Pittsburg Leader.
