Billy Grove was clerk in the
Downey House, Lansing, Mich. In
1904 he put $1,000 in the original
issue of REQ Motor stock To-day
his fortune is counted at Sll9O 600.
There are many like Billy Grove who
enjoy incomes of thousands of dol
lars every year from the COMMON
STOCK of automobile concerns
which cost them but few hundred.

Use for the Money.

This offering of Preferred and
Common stock is to provide funds
to increase production through the
purchase of materials. There ia Il
need for OVER Il quarter OF n
million of trucks THIS YEAR i'll
this country and abroad, MANY
TIMES more than can possibly be
supplied. The orders available TO
this Truck Company are TWENTY
ONE TIMES its output for last
year, If it can supply the needs
of the territory served by its BEST
dealers ii will mean an increase
over last years production of 5000
trucks and ADDITIONAL earnings
of over $1.200,O00, to say NOTHING
of the demand from many NEW
dealers and for export. Its trucks
are in use in fifteen foreign coun-
tries NOW and repeat orders for
export are increasing every week.
1t is a big year for earnings on
the Common stock. 1t may be
YOUR chance to do what Billy
Grove did.

Unparalleled Demand.

The demand for trucks for COM
nercial 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 to RUN AWAY from the
passenger carrying automobiles. 1t
Is becoming so that a man CAN
have pleasure car if he feels he
can 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 10 the rapid growth Of the
Motor Industry it has been custom
airy for concerns with large earn
nwS to declare stock dividends to
stockholders. Thus company
with 10000 shares of common
stock and net earnings Of $3O0O,OOO
for the year would be able To pay
a cash dividend of $1,000 to each
owner of $1,000 of common stock.
Rui rather than make such an I'M
balanced payment they would prob
ahIy--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 a cash
dividend OF 23oS, giving him $1,000
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 il. would
probably he about $4,000. One
good year with business conditions
PROSPEROUS has enabled not few
automobile companies to make net
earnings of OVER $3,OOO.0O0. That
is how SO 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 Il time not far

Its management consists of men
since its inception. successful in
the extreme and known throughout
the nation. They are leaders in the
industry and are particularly we'll
known to the best dealers through
out the country, whose confidence
they possess through many years of
fair dealing and mutual profit.
The department heads are men
who have spent their lifetimes in
quantity production and the work
men are of grade so superior that
it would be difficult to duplicate

Type of Truck.

The company manufactures one
and one-half ton truck, and records
show that 1879 of ALL merchant
users and 5000 of ALL farmers re-
Quire this type of truck. In addi-
ton the company manufactures a
powerful, sturdy. short coupled
chassis which pulls twO-wheeled
bodies of three and one-half and
five ton capacity. Thus it serves
EVERY need of industry. which is
why the volume of available orders
is so great.

You CAN'T turn the
clock back ten years and
buy the original issue of

$1,000 into $4,000, like
Billy Grove did. But you
CAN secure stock in this

How You Get the
Common Stock.

Every purchaser of two
shares of Preferred stock
which is sold at its par
value of $1,000 is entitled
to buy one share Of Com
mon stock for $1.OO.
Thus $4,000 buys six
shares of Preferred and
three shares of Common.
$1O5.0O buys ten shares
of Preferred and FIVE
shares of Common.
$5O4.OO buys 48 shares
of Preferred and "a shares
of Common.
$1,oOS.OO buys So shares
of Preferred and 48
shares of Common.
You can buy on the
Partial Payment Plan if
you prefer.
In our opinion there is no Sc
curity offered in the market to-day
which combines to give you the OPP
portunity of sound, sure, safe in
vestment of your money in high
grade so Preferred Stock with
record of earnings and dividends
behind it, and at the same time
the opportunity of making a for
tune, as Billy Grove did, from the
enormous expansion of an industry
due to world changes which never
CAN occur again in our lifetime.

APPLE TIM e.

The crisp frosty days of autumn are sure
indication that the apple season is in full swing.
Those who can pick the fruit are fortunate for
the apple fresh from the tree at this time of
the year, is unrivaled in flavor and temptingly
tart and juicy. But the privilege of gathering
apples is no longer limited to those who live in
the country for nowadays many families who
own cars avail themselves of the opportunity of
motoring to the suburbs, where they may either
gather generous supply from unclaimed trees
or purchase the privilege of picking better va
rieties from the orchard of some thrifty farmer
After few of these trips the housewife will find
that she has obtained enough apples to supply
her family with variety of preparations for the
winters So many things may be done with
apples that becomes enthusiastic at the
thought; they may be canned, dried or made into
fruit buffers and jellies, fruit strip and fruit
leather. Even the pulp which remains may be
fed to the cattle, hogs or sheep, there is no
waste whatever in the whole process.-Christan

NEsTED IN TOWER TWENTY YEARS.


There is an old English sparrow that has
nested in the caves at Tower c. at East somer-
vile Baltimore and maryland yards), for the
last 20 years.
Fifteen years ago he was caught and marked
with band Of silver wire list to see how long
he would live.
A new tower is being built at Tower c. and
as the new tower Is of brick and so constructed
there is no nesting place in the caves. and when
the old tower is torn down the old sparrow will
be deprived of a home.
Consequently one of the towermen caught the
old sparrow the is very tame). and took him to
Wakefield and kept him in the garage several
days, thinking he would nest there.
But when he was let out he made Decline for
Tower at East Somerville. and has been there
ever since.
Perhaps, after all, he can find a place to
squeeze in at the new brick tower when his old
home Is torn down.-BosteQ GlobA

1t Is also thought the instruments will be Of

otherwise he would not have given the warning.
Observations were made recently of mine fire
burning from 20 to 40 feet below the surface A
low rumbling noise could be heard If air were
being drawn in along crevices, and occasionally
sounds could be heard from the swapping and
falling Of pieces Of coal or rock AS well as can
be determined the fire area was accurately located
but owing to the fact that the fire could not be
approached from inside, the data could not be
checked absolutely. 1t Is interesting to note that
similar sounds could be heard from only one point
on the inside of the mine and that point was the
one nearest the area as located on the surface
In addition to the uses enumerated, an engineer
Of the bureau has discovered that the instruments
can be employed advantageOusly In locating
knocks in automobile valves and cylinders. For
this purpose 1t is best to mount the instrument on
a short iron rod that can be easily inserted in the
machinery. Not only can a troublesome cylinder
be located in this manner, but the trouble area
In the cylinder also can be found
