TREASURY STOCK
OF SHIRT GARTER
COMPANY OFFERED
INCREASING BUSINESS OF CON.
Germ DEMANDS MORE
CAPITAL.
GROWING AT TREMENDOUS RATE
Salees of the Products Last Year
Were More Than Sixty Thousand
Dollars-Stock Is Offered by the
Maury County Trust Co.

In order to meet the ever increas-
ing demands of the business which is
growing at a tremendous rate, the
Shirt Garter Company, through the
Maury County Trust Company, Il Of
fering $4,000 of it's treasury stock
for sale. This carries with 1t an
equal amount of patent right stock
of the company.
Although the circulars and pros
pectus making the offer of treasury
stock in the company were sent out
only a few days ago already a con,
siderable slice of the amount has
been subscribed and a party in Illi-
nois and another in New York have
made offers to take the entire issue.
These offers, however, will not be ac-
copied as it is hoped to place the
bulk OF the new issue in Columbia,
where the people have been a little
slow to subscribe. They should not
let the opportunity pass to get in on
the ground floor" for the Shirt Gar
ter Company is one of the biggest
concerns in the city and the people
here should realize it and take the
new issue SO that they can insure Its
remaining in Columbia. The orders
that are received from nearly every
state and almost every country on
the globe for the products of this
company make it the greatest adver-
tisement that the city Of Columbia
can possibly have.
This company did a business last
year Of 100000. The constantly
growing business demands addition
al capital and this is the sole reason
why this offer of stock has been
made to the public. The Maury
County Trust Company is Offering the
stock, a fact that of itself is a guar
antee that the issue has exceptional
merit.
The Shirt Garter Company is not
only growing at tremendous rate
and its business will increase even
faster in the future for additional re-
turns will continue to come from the
liberal sums appropriated for adver-
Using, but it is Differed by able bust
ness men. The people, of Columbia
have an exceptional opportunity to
get stock that has vast possibilities
and at the same time insure a con.
