A NEW CLEANER
Big Men of Ala bana to Exploit a Great Company

CTS of Dixie, but as a distinct addition to the sum total of producing enterprises the country over. -
 The state of Alabama easily holds hrst place in the rank of progress, ana dowh In our sister city of Montgomery there IS one new company in particular which is sweeping to the front in most i'm nrescive manner. We refer to the hle- Mol Company of that city new cor. pcration and an Alabama corporation at that, which has begun the wholesale manufacture and distribution of com- modity which is easily the most wonder fu, thing of it's kind in the history of modern utilities. It is cleaner, a pol isher, a cleanser, absorbant a soap, stain remover, and a, clean-all in one.
 It does what all the other different ar - ticles similar to it can do if you were to unite together their different good quail ties, and then besides it has most mar velous qualities of it's own For instance, unlike other cleaners and scrubbers and polishers, it is pure and harmless. It does not corrode nor eat even the most delicate fabric or in any way roughen or injure or quicker the tenderest skin. It is the only absorbent cleanser ever discov- cred or invented, contains absolutely no aalkali or acid or grit, and no animal fat. Hundreds of severe comparative tests to which it has been subjected prove 1t the only perfect product in the WOflQ. It VIII pOllSH your cut BldSS anu leave no mark no scratch. It will clean the handsomest bevel mirrors, polish the gleaming surface of your mahogany and make 1t more brilliant than ever and all without scratch, without the, slightest mark or mar either visible or invisible.
 Kle-Nol does these things and a thou sand others. Not hotel in Alabama or anywhere else will be without it for long. T. Is indispensable in the factory, the public building. the restaurant, the kitchen, the club. the buffet, everywhere.
 It's stock, which is now selling at sl0 per share, all shares alike. and s35,0oo of the total capital of s300,0OO allotted to Birmingham investors and subscribers, is the best investment in the south today beyond all comparison Some of the big gest men in Alabama are in the company and at the head of it. and as officers and directors.

Barton of this city, with offices in the Chamber of Commerce building. represents the Kle-Nol Co. for Birmingham and vicinity. Investors and others interested in the stock of the Kle- Nol Go. can obtain all information direct from Colonel Barton.
 Some idea of the rapidity with which southern investors are taking up all available issue of Kle-Nol stock may be seen in the fact that no stock put on the market in recent years has attracted many investors of all classes as has this. Clerks in stores. school teachers, principals. families having insurance funds for investment. people of moderate means. stoEelleepers. shopkeepers and buisness men of the middle class as we'll as capitalists are buying Kle-Nol stock at s10 per share. and the company an- nounces with pride that it has a greater number of the plain people on its books than any otner Slfnlidr lnuuStIldl corpora ton in the south or perhaps in the whole country, in proportion to it's capitaliza- : tion which is ultra conservative and without drop of water in it.
 It is not too much of a prediction that Kle-Nol stock at par today will in few months prove to be the nest egg of a small fortune to many and many . modest, serious minded investor to whom such huge dividend payers as Sa- polio. Ivory Soap, Old Dutch Cleanser and Gold Dust Twins, Scourene and the rest were impossible, because the stock in companies of that kind has been close held by the mililonaires who own them. Kle-Nol is the only stock of a great and assured business interest that has ever been allotted even in part to the public. and the K1e-Nol Company officers state that in adopting this policy they expect and intend to serve 8 double purpose, not only to give the people of the South some chance to have a little interest Tn a clean. high class. richly productive in- Vestment but at the same time to adver- tise Kle-Nol itself by permitting hum dreds of people to have real interest in 1t; a money interest.
 Kfe-Nol is already on exhibition at the offices of Col. Barton, where anybody car go in and test for himself on herself its wonderful superiority over any other cleanser. cleaner or poisher known and there Is a matter of great pride about 1t In another way viz, that Kle-Nol is an Alabama product, made in Alabama. the company itself located in Alabama and officered and managed by some of the biggest and best men in the state, men who have been. very successful in bus iness and who know how to conduct the Kle-Nol business and make it a great success and yet conservative men. safe men, but most strenuously energetic.
 It is worth noting in conclusion that this stock is being sensibly sold. It Is being sold at home. Those fortunate in- vestors who win make big dividends out of it, as the great business goes from year to year will be people, of our own state and the money paid for Kle-Nol hy the householders of the country will come to Alabama and into the banks and savings accounts Of home folks instead of going east to enrich the oyer rich of Wall street and Fifth avenue The rap idity with which Kle-Nol stock is being absorbed is good proof of its soundness from the investment point of view, and the high character and standing of the bankers public officials and successful business men, both wholesale and retail who have taken stock and are in the company, is good guarantee that the principal will be doubly safe and amply safe guarded and the business prose- cuted with ability and energy, to insure handsome profits.
