How You May Participate

am capitalizing the Randolph Rose Company
for 100000, with privilege of increasing to
100000. The capital stock is all common stock,
shares par value 81. No preferred stock. This
Randolph Rose Company is entirely Independent
of the r. M. Rose Company, of Jacksonville and
Chattanooga.
So that this stock sale may be an opportunity to
men to save money put something by each
month, the stock may be paid for in 10 monthly
nstallments. Thus if you buy 10 shares, they
worth $40 and you pay 81 down and 81 month
for more months until the whole $40 is paid.
If you buy 20 shares it is So down and So month
and SO on for any amount.
Books are open for subscriptions OF as little as
10 shares and many as 1000, but no more
than 81 900 worth of shares to any one subscriber
as one of the greatest assets we can have is to
have the stock well distributed with large num-
Der of stockholders and boosters? Doesn't this
look like fne safe, reliable investment offering
a wonderful opportunity?
The existing Randolph Rose stores have been
built purely and simply the Rose idea of Quail

vice. This style Of store, properly located and
well-managed, is bound to make money.
And they sure have taken in the money, and
have done it quickly that they gave me the idea
of the chain of stores. Do you realize what chain
of stores means? 1t means scientific management,
scientific hiring of clerks-the right man for the
right place and hit or miss hiring Of employees;
scientific buying on large scale for you can buy
for twenty stores much more advantageously than
for only one.
Think Of the enormous profits Of the chain cigar

Thus you have in brief outline of the plans. The
idea has been taken up with big business They
realize its promise at is sound but it takes

ples 81 candy and thereby please the people by giving
them the biggest possible value. In stores
will have the manufacturers well the retailers
profits But it doesn't stop there; expect to get wide
distribution for candy in stores other than chain
stores.

Ice Cream

That stands like the candy proposition No need of
being satisfied with only retailers profit. We will
make and get both manufacturers and retail
er's profit. At first plan only factory, but
business grows intend to establish additional plants
at points best suited to supplying demand After
the chain is well started expect to advertise
cream ROSES PURITY ICE CREAM and market it
through many stores other than our chain stores.

Your Opportunity

There is no doubt about being able to market the
stock issue but am purposely avoiding marketing
through banks putting large blocks of it in the hands
of any individual What want is the greatest pos
sble number of stockholders SO that we will have the
greatest possible number of boosters and that is why
am putting this advertisement in this paper.

Under present conditions there is crying
\ need of decent, orderly place where men may
gather after their days work for wholesome
recreation and rest.
PIT is proposed to fill this need by establishing
weIl-organized stores for the sale of cigars,
tobacco, soda, light lunches, etc.-stores where
men may gather for baseball or football scores
or other sporting results; where men may play
game of billiards in wholesome surrounding.
Sit is proposed to establish in addition to the
three stores in Atlanta, stores in such live CEN
tres as Birmingham, Admission, Gadsden, Tus-
caloosa, in Alabama; Athens, Rome, Augusta,
Macon, Columbus, Americas, Valdosta, Way
cross, Townsville, Albany, Savannah, Bruns-
Greenville, Columbia, Anderson, Florence,
Greenwood, Orangeburg, Rock Hi Spartan
burg and Sumter in South Carolina.
KNOWING full-well the millions that have been
made in successful marketing of popular soft
drinks, it is proposed to manufacture a soft
drink more distinctive than anything produced
heretofore, and make it leader.
Sit is proposed to get the manufacturers well
as the dealers profit in the candy business by
manufacturing good candy for our chain and
marketing. the surplus elsewhere. We can put
out a soc candy the equal of anybody's $1.O0
candy.
Cit is proposed to establish first one ice cream
factory and later many more as may be
needed to supply stores and other stores
as fast as we get distribution elsewhere.

leve, to become manager of this chain of
stores And to the stockholders give my per-
sonal promise to devote my time to these duties
as manager at reasonable salary.
9-The stock is 81 share, made payable in 10
monthly installments, to make it easier for
everybody to participate Thus the purchaser
of ten shares pays 81 down and 81 month
until $40 is paid in.

have been working to get the right soft drink
And that have it, with big corporation to back

great added advantage of being able to first introduce

You all familiar with the fortunes made in Coca

the purchaser to live in luxury Now with another
distinctive soft drink with chain of 20 stores to back
it, don't you think there's golden opportunity for big

of this supply came from Germany
