Is something we all want and need.
The greatest Wool Famine on record is now
on us.
Before the war we produced only half the
wool we needed
we imported the other half.
Our army for wooden overcoats, suits, blank
cts, underwear, hosiery, mittens and sweat
ers require as much as we formerly pro-
duced or imported.
Our production of wool has not been in

Our imports of wool are lessenins.

from Louisiana, but there are no ships to
bring even q pound Of wool from Australia

CONSERVATIVE FIGURING
YET HUGE PROFITS

Get your pencil. Do a little figuring for yourself
Start out on this basis. BE conservative Instead OF
estimating ore recovery OF 20 percent to Is percent a,
shown by CUR drill holes, figure only 3 percent This
IS conservative, for our n~eighbors are recovering Is
percent TO 20 percent every day. All right, let Il 20
a, 8 percent-eyen that is rich. Figure on a OO-ton
mill. That's the sire we propose to build first, but
we shall run two shifts per day, or 800 tons milling
capacity, Now multiply 900 tons by 800 working days
a year and YOU get lS0NM tons Eight percent OF this
you will find is l44O tons Of ore, Usually about ~
percent OF this is lead, which has averaged better than
500 a ton, but let US be conservative and figure 1t all
at the price Of zinc, or so per ton, This gives Us
SlOO8 900 a wear earning. But wall. that's too good
1t isn't all profit Deduct Sl7S per ton for all rock
.rilled and ~ percent ROYALTY to the owner OF land.
This takes away a total Of $4ol 400. But 1t leaves the
enormous profit OF SSl6,600. Now divide this, II you
viii. among the stockholders in the company whose
'otal %caritai stock Is but $4,000 1t would pay better
Than g for 81 a year even If ALL the stock were IS
srud Blu, the stock is not all issued, and probably
never will be, which would allow even greater profits
Isn't it sound, conservative, reasonable investment

Buy Clothes Now!

We don't say this altogether because Of the
fact that we are in the clothes business.
We have just closed a years business that
has been far in excess of any previous year.
YOU have done very well by us last year and
we feel that we can afford this space to give
you the etip-to BUY CLOTHES-ALI-
WOOL CLOTHES-whether you buy here
or from some of our neighbors.
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-02-05
CONSIDER the GIGANTIC PROFITS
POSSIBLE on the WHOLE TRACT

Figure again il three acres will yield a million dol
lars worth Of ore netting around $4,000 clear profit,
twenty acres should yield nearly seven times this
amount or about seven millions. We have every reason
to believe the balance Of the tract is as rich, u nor
richer. Complete development will take time, but II
what we have keeps us earning around $SOGN a year
net for six or seven years, making 200 percent a year,
every 500 invested will earn an amount each year equal
to S,3338 invested at 8 percent, Stock earning 1n
Percent should be worth J5 for | or $3J per share,
baSinp value on actual earning power of 6 percent
And remember. we have been conservative in our
figures. too, and have only estimated a recovery OF
3 percent which is about one-half OF what neighboring
mines are getting.
The Oklahoma City times. [volume] (Oklahoma City, Okla.) 1908-1984, 1918-02-05
200 PERCENT YEARLY DIVIDENDS
MEANS $40 WEEKLY ON $500

Take your pencil again and figure what profits %
200 percent a year mean. Even on VS. 1t wouio mean w
nroGt. with the principal left to keep on earning Think
what even $50 would seem as a profit on so spall a
sum: equal to a nice Christmas saving fund OF a year
But il this is a good proposition, why stop at a small
investment. Five hundred dollars. for instance paying
30 n,rcent yearly dividend would earn $1,000 a year.
That's about $40 a week, or equal to the entire Salary
many skilled workers make. Two hundred percent on
$1,000 would bring back the handsome income ,ot, S4O
a week Think OF III $40 a weeR that one wouldn't
turn a hand to earn for years to come. It's not only
possible. It's highly probable. We have figured con
servAtivtly, remember that.

WE CLAIM

less than sixty DAYS.
The Pitcher Bingham which Joins US on the SOUTH
