Yonr Teeth Are One Of Your
Most Valuable Possessions

Are you taking chances
with them? You most GER
,ainly are if you have teeth
that are decayed and need at
tention and you are putting
off having them fixed. Your
teeth have such a direct bear
ing on your health that they
are really of supreme imports
ance to you.
You must admit that your
health is the big foundation OF
everything that's worth while
in fact, success without good
health is practically an impos-
sibility.
And good digestion is the
foundation of good health--ask
your physician about this
point. And nothing has moro
direct bearing on the d:ges-
ton than the teeth---not only
in the way they masticate the
food, but decayed teeth are
actual producers of poisons.

These figures are based on an estimate carefully
compiled by who know the automobile busi-
ness and sueeessful pioneers in the industry.
This car should average 20 to ~ miles
more to gallon Of xasolene. and at the pres
ent high price of Rasolene this in itself Is de.
cided argument in favor of the of this car.
The profits in the automobile industry too
well known to require comment. The day Of
experiment has passed. To-day the industry, tho
third largest in the United States. is substan-
tial and highly profitable basis The greatest
profit is being made in the manufacture of low
priced ears. The demand for the car that We
propose to build is apparent 70 everyone. The
cost of manufacture has been carefully worked
out. and after proper allowance has been made
for the increased price of raw material and for
any exigencies that may arise. there yet remains
net profit Of $50 per car, based upon an an
nual production OF only 10000 cars. Th.t this
profit be and should be increased by the in
creased production is sef-evident. That the sale
of the Preferred Stock at par will insure . suf-
ficiene capital to enable this company to 70 on q
profit earning basis seems assured fact. That
the Common Stock will soon become more valu-
able than the Preferred seems inevitable.
The Company proposes to adopt the most
modern business methods, paying cash a. il goes,
and pursuing conservative, business like admin
istration The most progressive methods Of man.,
ufacturing and selling will be adopted.

became Of the factors with Henry Ford in
the production Of the first $500 Ford run.bouts.
In 1908 Mr.. Hupp and associates organized the

$3.50 which at that time was lower in price than
the car which the Ford Company turning
out, ~ the Ford Company had advanced the price
Of their cars 70 1915. Under Mr.. Hupp's man.
agement the Hupp Company sales jumped from
$50 cars the first year to 5000 cars the second
year, and original investment Of less than
$4,000 grew to cool million dollars BY 1872
when Mr.. Hupp disposed Of his interest and r..
tired from the company. owing to the fact that
he did not asree with the policy Of his a..oei.tes
in bringing out higher priced car.
This same year Mr.. Hupp organized the r. G.
H. Corporation, manufacturing and selling
touring car that lower in price than anv
other car made except the Ford, and the very
first year produced 5000 cars. and had contracts
with dealers for 10000 additional cars, making
. total sale Of $1,000 for the first year
Mr.. Hupp has also had some experience in
manufacturing higher priced cars but hi, hobby
has always been, and it has been his ain, and am.
