 DRAPER CORPORATION

We desire to call to your attention the stock of the Draper Corporation as a conservative investment.
 The plant of the Draper Corpora ton at Hopedale, Mass, containing some 4 acres of floor space is devoted principally to the production of the Northrop Loom. Through patents on this Loom the company is pro- tected for years to come. It is worth nothing that the repair work alone is probably more than sufficient to pay the present rate of dividend. The company has a years supply of coal on hand and has been given priority on steel as it's product is extremely essential. They are booked at capac- ity for year at present prices and the contracts include non-cancella- ton clauses
 Capital stock $17,500, 900, no bonds or preferred stock.
 The average net earnings for 1915, 1916 and 1917 after all depreciation on plant and after marking $500, 1000 off the patent account, were more than 12@o on the present capitaliza- ton.
 At the present time they own $4,- 000.000 Liberty Bonds, 4$750,000 United Kingdom Bonds and $25O,000 other high grade first mortgage bonds. They also have $1,O0O,OO0 set aside in a special fund which will be invested in the next Govern ment Loan. The company has~been in business for a great many years and furnishes approximately 90@o of all Looms used in cotton mills. The management is of the highest type and very aggressive. The stock is essentially a peace stock and it seems very reasonable to expect that it will have an advance of 20 to 80 points within a reasonable time and in view of it's present condition and the future outlook 1t is generally ex- pected that in the not distant future some extra distribution will be made.
 On October A, 1918, the company had liquid assets exceeding $10,000,- 900. Total indebtedness payable October "A, 1918 about $150,0O0.
 Dividends are being paid at the rate of 8G6 per annum, January 1st, quarterly.
 Subject to previous sale. we offer 8 limited amou/t of the Draper Cor poration Stock, to yield 7.25 pc.
