1t appears from the large volume
of highway and paving bonds now
on the market, that the public
has learned that there is certain
economic advantage to be found in
constructing permanent improve
ments. The public is beginning to
realize that it must spend and in
vest money if it would earn money.
Investments in permanent public
improvements, especially paving,
are not only conserved, but are re-
turned with profit. Capital is
wasted only when put into imprac-
teal schemes or into cheap, made
quate efforts to only half do job.
Bonds which are issued for perm

on the country and adopted as a
means of rapid and economical
travel much before the. people of
this section realize, and that Holly,
by reason of its almost ge0graphi-
cally central location in the United
States. together with its ideal ad-
vantages rs flying field will be
one of the important aviation
points in the country.
The officers and directors of the
Holly Air Line Transportation
Company are all old residents
of Holly, except Pilot Geo. Pufiea
who came here on the Fourth of
July. All are generally known here.
They are Ray r. Brown, president
and general manager; Ed. Jones,
secretar-teasurer, who together
with Pilot Geo. Pufiea, Edward
Leonard and Joseph Leonard con-
stitute the board of directors. Mr..
Puflea is the pioneer aviator of
America. His care and skill have
won confidence wherever he has
given an exhibition. He began his
aviation career in 1909 and since
that time has been in the employ
of the Mexican government as its
chief aviator and later the highest
paid instructor of aviation in the
employ of the United States gov
ernment. His identity with the
Holly Air Line Transportation
Company is great asset to the
organization and an assurance of
its future success.
In view OF the fact that the pro-
ceeds of the sale of this stock at
this time is not to be absorbed in
excessive salaries and other unnec-
esary expenses; that it is not u
stock jobbing proposition similar
to SO many corporations now offer
ing stock to the general public,
the 1900 shares of stock offered by
the company should meet with a
ready sale here at home. 1t is a
well known fact that thousands of
dollars of local money have been
invested in dozens of different for
eign companies which have never
brought a penny to the local in
vestOrs and never will.
Besides this the Holly Air Line
Transportation cOmpany's pros
poets and as a general business
proposition, offer surer induce
ments for real returns than nine
tenths of the stock propositions
which have taken thousands of dol
lars out of Holly and vicinity. Why
not spend some of this money with
q home institution, one whose act

PACT NOW VIRTUALLY
EFFECTIVE WITH HUNS
British Parliament Has Already
Ratified the Treaty and Approval
Given the Convention by French
Chamber Of Deputies Last Week.

The following news dispatch is
taken from Tuesday evenings Den
yer Post:
PARIS, Oct. liking Victor EN-
manuel of Italy signed royal de-
cree ratifying the German and Aus
trian treaties Monday, according to
a Milan dispatch to the Eclair.
Ratification of the German
treaty by the royal decree of the
king of Italy virtually completes
the steps necessary for putting in.
to effect the pact between Germany
and the allied powers which was
signed at Versailles June % and
which stipulated it would become
operative when ratified by three of
the great powers.
The British parliament has al
ready ratified the treaty and the
document now awaits only the sig
nature of King George becoming
effective in Great Britain. Approx
al was given the convention by the
French chamber of deputies last
week and the senate is expected to
take similar action Friday or Sat
urday.
The royal decree of the Italian
monarch must receive approval
from the next parliament which
will meet at Rome Dec. l, but it is
considered certain there will be lit
tie trouble in obtaining concur
renee.
Italy, by the reported action of
her king, is the first of the powers
to ratify the treaty with Austria.

pany Expects to Have New Four

Elsewhere in this issue of The
Chieftain will be found 3-column
announcement of the Holly Air
Line Transportation Co. in which
the company is offering 1900 shares
of it's capital stock at popular sub
scription at $40 per share. The
Holly Air Line Transportation
Company has been duely incor-
porated under the laws of Colorado
with a capitalization of $4,000. The
shares are fully paid and non-as-
sessable, with a par value of $40.
1t is the purpose of the company
to utilize the entire $4,000 which it
will realize from the sale of this
block of 1900 shares of capital
stock in the erection of suitable
hangar on it's splendid aviation
field east of town for the housing
of it's present Curtis plane, and
other passenger carrying planes
which the company is now negO-
tiating for. General Manager Ray
r.. Brown stated Saturday that
every dollar realized from the sale
of stock was to be expended for
equipment and expansion of the
business. He further said that the
outlook for future business for his
company was most gratifying and
that at the present rate it would
require at least four airplanes to
handle the business within the
next six months. The company is
now negotiating for q 4-paSSenger
airplane, which they hope to have
here in the next so or 80 days.
In comparison with the progress
of the automobile business, which
has reached it's present wonderful
magnitude within the past Is
years Mr.. Brown predicts that aer-

ment. Business men and investors
who buy bonds for local municipal
improvements reap three-fOld
profit. There are assured safe,
profitable investment, they have a
voice in determining the manner
in which the money is to be spent.
and they are the ones who will
benefit by the improvement! Sell
ing the bonds at their face value to
home investors, not only provides
the home people an opportunity
for profitable investment, but it
precludes the necessity of adver-
tising them for sale and dispOsing
of them to the highest bidder, who
generally represents some bonding
house from financial center. Such
q method invariably results in a
loss to the community issuing the
bonds, as they are always sold at
less than par value.
The city of Fort Collins, in financ-
ing a recent paving improvement,
sold every dollars worth of the
S101 100000 issue at face value to
bankers, business men and resid.
cnts in that city. This excellent
piece of financing, accomplished by
the Fort Collins commissioners.
saved the city approximately S.
10000 which would have been paid
out as commission to the outside
firms offering to buy the bonds.
Local bankers aided in financing
the issue by giving the commits
sioners dependable advice and by
subscribing heavily for the securi-
ties. Some of the property owners
offered to pay for their share of
the assessment as soon as the paw
ing was completed, rather than
wait the allotted time. The splen-
did cooperation of the business
men and citizens with the city au-
thOrities saved them the cost of
putting the bonds on the market.
Fort Collins has been a leader in
this section of the country in
building pavements, and has been
so we'll pleased with this type of
paving that no other kind is being
laid. Residents of Fort Collins
realize that an investment for con-
crete streets yields dividends, and
backed the construction with their
own money.
Other cities may we'll profit by
the example of Fort Collins, not
only in the choice of paving mater
ials, but also in the mnaner of dis
posing of the bonds to pay for the
improvement. Money so invested
is being returned with ever-increas-
ing profits from savings in main
tenance, reduced haulage costs, in
creased business, and from the gilt
edge investments such improve
ments made possible. The city
that sells it's paving bonds at home
benefits it's resident by providing
them with more economic and at
tractive streets and by assuring
The Holly chieftain., 1919-10-09

them that the money they invested
is being used in manner which
will strengthen the security upon
which the bonds are based.
