PROFITS

Manufacturers in general have made as much
money any class of business in the United States
Manufacturers whose business is LEGAL
MONOPOLY by virtue of patents granted by the
United States Government probably have made
more money than anyone else.
Examples almost without number could be recited
to prove both these statements.
In granting patent the Government gives the
patenee the exclusive right to manufacture and sell
the patented article for the life of the patent
Could there be a better foundation for a safe in
veStment than thatl
The patents granted on THE HOLMES SYSTEM
for automatically eXtingushing fires in oil tanks
are as broad as any patents EVER GRANTED.
They cover every method OF APPLYING FOAM OR
OTHER EXTINGUISIING FLUID AT THE
SURFACE OF THE OIL which includes the car
bonc acid gas also all means of exhausng gases
AT THE SURFACE of the oil.
1t is we'll established principle that the place to
fight fire is at the base. THE HOLMES SYSTEM
has monopoly on fighting OIL FIRES at the base
The one and only effective way to handle an oil
tank fire is to apply the FOAM containing carbonic
acid gas, such as is used in THE HOLMES SYS-
TEM at the base of the fire, as in THE HOLMES
SYSTEM.
I'm other words, the best system of eXtinguishing
oil tank fires is fully covered in THE HOLMES
PATENTS.
Did YOU ever give much thought to the profits
made by the manufacturer on the everyday things
in our modern life; and especially the PATENTED
articles
Will you stop to contemplate the profits that must
come from the manufacture and sale OF THE
HOLMES SYSTEM?
Less than half the fire insurance premium for
single year will equip tank with THE HOLMES
SYSTEM On this basis the oil companies owning
tanks will readily buy it. And on this basis there is
a very, very large percentage of profit to THE
SURFACE FOAM APPLIANCE COMPANY in
THE HOLMES SYSTEM
Bear in mind that the purchaser will concern
himself but very little with what profits are
When he realizes the benefits he will receive-an
absolute assurance that tank equipped with THE
HOLMES SYSTEM will be destroyed by fire--the
big question in his mind will be HIS profits and not
OUR profits.

vcstors offered by THE SURFACE FOAM APPLE

This stock is no more speculative than hundreds
of investments commonly considered conservatives
