A FEW EXAMPLES

of S1 ,OOO 1n stock of the Chal- mers Motor Company grew to S16,666 stock and earned S9, ,297 cash dividends. In six wears 1000 stock of the Stutz Motor Gar Company of Indiana grew to S2,OOO stock and earned S217 73O i'll cash dividends. In the lind son Motor Car Company s1. .OOO stock grew to $2O,O0O stock in FOUR YEARS and in addition the company paid cash dividends which have not been made pub lie. In the Hup Motor Car Company $1,OOO stock grew in seven years to $4O,OOO stock and earned S48,16O cash dividends.
 In the Rec Motor Car Con- pany in thirteen years $1,OOO stock grew to S12,OO0 stock and earned $12,S5O cash dividends. In addition the company in 1913 distributed to it's stockholders S6OO,OOO stock i'll the Rec Motor Truck Company, equal to a 3O@o dividend, and THEN, afterward paid a 7Go cash dividend on the stock of the Truck Company.
 Due to the rapid growth of the Motor Industry it has been GUS tomary for concerns with large earnings to declare stock divi- dends to stockholders. Thus a company with 10000 shares of common stock and net earnings of $3,O0O,0OO for the year would be able to pay cash dividend of $3,OOO to each owner of $1,OOO ot common stock. But rather than make such an unbalanced pay ment they would probably-as they frequently do-frst increase the capitalization and give each owner of $1,OOO of common stock perhaps $1O,OOO MORE common stock and Then pay cash divi- dend of 25%o, giving him $3,OOO in cash on the common stock which he then owned. It's MARKET value, or the price a stock paying such dividends should bring in case the owner wanted to sell 1t, would probably be about $44,O0O. One good year with business conditions prosperous has en- abled many automobile com panies to make net earnings of over S3,OOO,O0O. Net earnings of $1O,OOO,OOO, $2O,OOO,OOO and even $40, 100000 for single year are not uncommon. That is how so many comfortable fortunes have grown from very small invest 1nents in the MOTOR Industry. That is why it is entirely pos sib1e for. YOU to place $500 in the Preferred Stock we offer you, have your money safely and soundly invested, with an excel lent opportunity to have the COMMON stock which goes with the preferred grow to $20,- 900 or more i'll a time not far distant.
 MOTOR TRUCK PROFITS
 Tn the Federal MOTOR Truck Company $1,OOO stock grew in six years to $30,0O0 stock and earned S12,18O cash dividends. What the automobile concerns did in the way of large earnings the successful Motor Truck Com panies are JUST BEGINNING TO DO.
 The war has revolutionized the use of Motor Trucks and the movement of freight, raw ma terials and merchandise. Every one knows that Motor Trucks won the war, that their wonder fu1 mobility, strength, lasting qualities and great carrying capacity enabled Us to arm, equip and maintain over three million men with unheard-of speed, and that the armies and peoples of all Europe learned the need and value of Motor Trucks ust as we learned 1t. What few of the general public know is that the vast, but exactly tabulated, records of war use show that horse or mule CONSUMES twenty-five per cent. as much as 1t PRODUCES. A standard
 Motor Truck consumes LESS than ONE PER CENT as much as it produces, and this consump- ton includes operation, nalntcn- anCc. repairs and rcDlaCcmcntS
