FIELD OF OPERATION

The North American Wireless
Corporation proposes to go into the
actual commercial wireless field
and not to spent Its time or money
In trying out theories or expert
ments. It would be difficult TO
try In which the wireless telephone

tically all known forms of business
without entering into competition
with the established wire systems,
the commercial radio telephone has
a distinctive field of operation
and usage. 1t will be valuable ad-
1cnct for transportation companies,
to keep in touch with their various
craft. Railroads will need II in
connection with running their
trains, and for the use of their pas
sengers. Mine owners ana isolated
enterprises need 1t because 1t may
al conditions. It will be Invaluable

station on top OF the Metropolitan
Tower in New York and the Eiffef

I may say that the possibilities Of
the Radio telephone are almost lin

Already sounds have been car

stration being made from Paris to
a station near Marseilles during
May, 1908.

be sent by wireless telegraph over

OPPORTUNITY FOR INVESTORS

1t is expected, as has been the
case in the development of all new
discoveries, that the public Will be
the first to understand and appre-
ciate the vast profits which may be
earned through the development of
wireless under competent, honest
business management. Therefore,
the stock is offered for public sub
scription with the assurance that
each purchaser will have the fullest
possible protection in correct di-
vision of profits in proportion TO
his holdings.
The small capitalization of the
company, the wide territory which
1t Will operate, its ample patent
protection. the assurance of the
economical management and the
Willingness of the public to pay a
hlgh price where communication is
difficult, or does not now exist,
should insure quick and satisfactory
returns on an investment.
A limited amount of stock (par
value $1,000 will be offered for
general subscription at 5000 per
snare for cash, or $500 per share on
the time payment basis of 20% down

ance Is paid. This is the first public
offering of stock in this corporation.

ENORMOUS EARNING POWERS

1t Is needless to say that a volume
might be written comparing the
enormous earning power of the
wireless telephone and wireless
telegraph with other new discov-
cries and developments.

A SUCCESSFUL SYSTEM

Radio always has been given wide
spread publicity in both the tech
nical and daily press and the su-
premacy of the commercial RADIO
system in this country and abroad
must be conceded.
Practically every step Of substan-
raphy in America has been accom-
plished by the distinguished en-
gineers who have contributed to the
Radio system. With hardly a single
exception every American vessel on
the Atlantic, Pacific, Gulf and Great
Lakes waters which Is equipped
with wireless, carries apparatus de-
signed by one or more of the invent
ors of the Radio system.
