Unparalleled Demand.

The demand for trucks for com.
melriul use THIS YEAR is greater
than ALL the trucks built In this
country for private use In the last
FOUR YEARS. Just as the freight
carrying business of the railroads
entirely dwarfed the passenger car
rying business, so the demand for
the freight carrying motor truck Is
beginning 10 RUN AWAY from the
Passenger carrying automobiles. 1t
IS becoming so that man CAN
have u pleasure car il he feels he
cnn afford it. but he MUST have a
FLEET Of Motor Trucks in his
business or he cannot hope to equal
the low costs of his competitors.
At the Chicago and New York
Motor Truck Shows just concluded
the Truck Company whose stock
we offer you was besieged by
Truck dealers who sought to place
orders for more trucks for THIS
YEAR than the company has manu-
featured in the last THREE years,
and their output has been large.

Due to the rapid growth Of the
Motor Industry it has seen custom
ary for concerns with large earn
lngs to declare stock dividends to
stockholders. Thus company
with 10000 shares Of common
stock and net earnings Of 100000
for the year would be able to pay
a cash dividend Of $1,000 to each
owner Of $1,000 of common stock.
But rather than make such an un-
balanced payment they would prob
ably-as they frequently do-first
increase the capitalization and give
each owner Of $1,000 of common
stock perhaps $4,000 MORE COM
mon stock and THEN pay cash
dividend Of $3.50, giving him $4,000
in cash on the common stock which
he then owned. Its MARKET value,
or the price a stock paying such
dividends should bring in the case.
the owner wanted to sell it, would
probably be about 81, 600. One
good year with business conditions
prosperous has enabled not few
automobile companies to make net
earnings of OVER $3,OOO,OO0. That
is how 50 many comfortable for
tunes have grown from very small
investments in the MOTOR Indus
try. That is why it is entirely pos
sible for YOU to place $500 in the
Preferred Stock we offer you. have
your money safely and soundly in
vested with an excellent opportu
nifty to have the COMMON stock
which goes with the preferred grow
to $4,000 or more in time not far
distant.

BEGINNING TO DO.

$1,000 into $4,000, like

CAN secure stock in this

for growth and earnings
in the next three years to

HUGE FLU DEATH TOLL
More Than 100000 Victims In Z. 5
Last Year.

More than 500. 900 deaths fronr~in-
fluenza and pneumonia were recorded
last year. according to the experience
table recently issued by the Metropoli-
tan Insurance company. This figure
is appalling when it is remembered
that 500, 600 persons is almost equal to
twenty full army divisions.
Americas loss in the war was less
than $4,000 or a little bit more than
two divisions-almost two and Two
thirds divisions to be exact.
Another interesting feature of the re
port is the showing of the increase IN
other diseases directly traceable to the
flu epidemics. The women suffered
heaviest in the result. Diseases asso-
ciated with childbirth increased a full
900 per cent during the last year.
Heart disease increased 81 per cent
and tuberculosis increased Is per cent
In the state of Kansas the Metro
politan company paid death claims on
account of flu and pneumonia IN the
sum of S125,116. this sum being rep
resented by TIT policies In the
United States and Canada the com
pany paid 10000 claims for total
amount of sgt. 604.475. OF the total
number of claims the company gives
the actual number of deaths from FLU
and pneumonia as S3.517.
The company states in its bulletin
that this number of deaths was ap-
proximately $4,000 in excess of the
numb Der to be expected under normal
conditions.
