I'D GAINES, a well known book

up 100000 laying against the big
wagers made by the late Mike

Gravesend one day, many years ago,
and saw Circular Joe Vendig. Dryers

betting ring to place $4,000 on ! to

How much have you got?" asked
Gaines, who had a tTifle more than
$4,000 in his jeans.
Ten thousand" replied Vendig.
"TIl lay l to T." replied Gaines.
THAT is better than l to 6 in the
ring"
Gaines got the big bet standing to
lose $4,000, and the favoTite was beat

to lay better prices than the regular
bookmakers whenever Nendig came
his way and soon he had a fortune.

10 Buys An Interest In This Great
Home Building Enterprise!

NOW if for any reason you become dissatisfied
with this investment or meet with reverses and
WISH to withdraw your money. we will gladly
refund it.
LET US MAKE little comparison. You know
what Henry Ford has done and is doing in the
motor car industry.
SUPPOSE HE HAD simply used his own linn
tied capital at the start instead of selling stock
He would have made money, of course, but h
would never have built up the great organiza-
ton that Is a monument to his business
ability.
HE HAD TO HAVE working capital, and in
order to get it was compelled to share his
splendid profits with others. He made more
for himself-he also made vast dividends for
those who purchased his stock.
JUST SO WITH US. We can sell three-yes.
half dozen, dozen-hones where we are
now selling one. The people are waiting for
them. They are asking for them every day.
AND SO BY combining your capital with ours
we make more for both of us. We promise to
give you back your money if you are dissatis-
fed
AMONG the assets of the firm there are many
valuable pieces of Real Estate-including the
following: II7-IIo Gratiot-Ave. Arthur Apis.
e6s-e67 Jefferson-Ave.. and Koppin Apis. ~
I6 Smith-Ave
THE FIRM ALSO has many valuable eo-year
leases, including 1868 Woodward, Douglass
Bldg II4-I23 Farmer-St.; Knowleson Bldg,
Io6-Io8 Adams-Ave, and operate Fire In
surance Department, the profits from both be-
ing included in the dividends.
YOU SAY YOU ARE not acquainted with
Henry S. Koppin? Easiest thing you could
ask. Just 60 to any bank, mercantile house
real estate man and ask who is Mchigans
Greatest Home Builder; ask who is largely
responsible for the astonishing growth of the
east side of Detroit. The answer will be
Henry S. Koppin
MR.. KOPPIN HAS BEEN successful in doing
business with the reliable working class of
people in Detroit, and he has arranged to sell
this stock in small shares that these people
may buy it. You may invest anything from!
$40 up.
IF YOU ARE ALIVE and awake to the real sit
uation here in the city you will see one big word
stand out in every line of this proposition.
And that word is OPPORTUNITY" for
YOU.
THIS STOCK WILL BE SOLD immediately
and you may not have such splendid chance
again. Mail us the coupon below-today. Or
we will be glad to have you come to the office
and Mr.. Koppin will talk to you personally.
WE ADVISE YOU not to wait if you are really
interested in getting the greatest earnings
from your savings.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1913-05-06

ONE WEEK AGO we told you we had big
special proposition to make to the public.
We said that It would be good-extra good.
AND EVERY DAY this week our office has
been flooded with inquiries and callers-people
who were acquainted with Henry S. Koppin
and realized what such an announcement from
him meant.
HERE is THE proposition. We are simply
going to leave it to you to decide whether we
have over-rated or not.
CONTRARY TO general opinion-Detroits
greatest industry in home building.
IN 1904 THE HENRY s. KOPPIN co. was
established for the purpose of building modern
homes and selling them to people of moderate
means on the monthly payment plan.
JUST TO GIVE YOU an idea of the size to
which this company has grown, we will say
that since Ioo4-just nine years-we have
built and sold over. seven hundred homes.
NOW. OUR SPECIAL proposition is this: We
are opening up block of 100000 treasury
stock to the public, to be sold at par, at $1o
per share.
EVERY DOLLAR RECEIVED from this sale
will be used in buying more lots and in build
ing more homes.
MIND YOU, THIS is not a newly-oreanized
company. 1t has nine years of success behind
~ AWs sac Oh STOCK IS merely to secure suttl-
cient working capital so that we can increase
our production.
WHY DO WE WANT to do this3 Simply be-
cause we cannot supply houses to one-haif the
people who are waiting for them. We could
sell several times many homes az we are
building.
N1NE-TENTHS OF our houses are sold before
they are halfway built. We can show you to-
day people who have purchased homes of us
and are living in them before there is any
plumbing, or even plaster, in the house.
AND NEARLY EVERY day we have ten or a
dozen people come to our Office to buy homes.
and we are turning them away
is 1T ANY WONDER THAT we want TO build
these homes on a more extensive plan? Isn't
1t plain to you that there are unheard of profits
to be made where there Is such demand?
THIS SALE OF STOCK Is not to finance the
concern.-1t is simply to enable us to build
houses in greater numbers without having to
sell our leases and mortgages at big discounts
OF COURSE WE COULD 90 on with our
present capital and make money, but with this
stock distributed among our friends we can
make much greater dividends, which you will
share.
1T is SIMPLY A case of where we make more
tor ourselves by sharing it with others From
our experience in this business we are abso
lutey positive that this stock will nav At the
very least 40 per cent.
