 Patronage of the public is solicited in behalf of so many proposit 'ons absolutely without merit, that 1t has come to regard with more or less suspicion nearly everything offered for the purpose of investment. The idea of graft in connection with al- most every enterprise in which the public is asked to invest money, has become so deeply rooted tand not without good reason) that it is often very difficult to launch even a propo- sition of genuine merit and one of fering the most flattering prospects for investment. The United States Steel Railway Tie Company, however, has had so far, no cause for com paint under this head, because it has something to offer that appeals to every man of good common sense. It has model representing a stee railroad tie which will bear the closet scrutiny in shaping an opinion as to it's practicability.
 The possibilit'e of this invention are almost beyond comprehension, since it is the universal consensus of opinion amongst railroad men, that the time is at hand when steel must be substituted for wood in the manu- facture of railroad ties. According to the opinion of every railroad man who has examined the Maxey tie, it is the only one made of steel ever ex- hibited to the public which is prac- tlcable. It's us. will not only extend to the construction of trunk roads, but it will be just as extensively utilized in proportion to the mileage by the street railroad companies of the country. This great demand for the steel tie will result in the estab- lishment of foundry for its exc'u- sive manufacture, and it's sale VIII place hundreds of thousands of dol lars in the eoffers of the company.
 It's safety. economy and durability will insure it's substitution for the wooden tie and ultimately, its univ ersal adoption in railroad construc- ton.
 The enormous saving of the steel tie is found in the fact that every six years on an average, under the wooden ti system, about s5,250 must be expended for new ties for every mile of railroad, while under the steel tie system, all ef this expense, after the tie is installed upon the roadbed, is saved for from fifty 10 one hundred years, the life of the steel tie. So that it will be observed that on a road one thousand miles long. the steel tie will save in nifty years in the cost of ties alone, at the rate of s5,250 every six years, $4S,ioV'- 0OO At first glance these figures are staggering, but they represent the re- sult of the most conservative cacu- lation and cannot be disproved. As has been already stated, the company wants to sell only enough stock 10 nav the cost of the roadbed test, anu as an inducement to raise money TOT this purpose, the company proposes
 to give all purchasers at this time the exclusive privilege of puyihs stock at par value after announce ment is made of the success of the test regardless of the price to wnich if will 20 above that value. based up on such announcement. All 1pnr- chasers of stock at this time will De notified at once of the success oi tna test and will thus be given an op- portunity to increase their holdings at par. though the stock be worth ten for one.
 Now is the time to get in on the ground floor. Don't wait and miss the opportunity of life time.
 Stock is selling at 50 cents on |the dollar and the sales during the mast week have been beyond the most sanguine expectations of the company
