with contracts made and assured
which made certain the sale of the
goods the enlarged plant would turn
out. One hundred people are now
given remunerative employment, and
no discrimination is made against
women employees.
The financial plans of the company
embrace the floating of $500,000 of
preferred stock, bearing a guaranteed
interest rate of 8 per cent. 100000
of additional common stock, dividends
as per earning powers of. the plant.
To, stimulate quick sale of 100000
of preferred stock, that the company
may at once build and install new ma
chinery, the company offers so per
cent of common stock free with this
first allotment of preferred; j. e., if
you buy $1O0 in preferred you will
be given bonus Of $50 in common.
But this offer will hold good only on
the sale of the first 100000, and is
for the express purpose Of rushing to
early completion new buildings that
the company may handle expeditiously
the business accepted and now press
ing for immediate delivery.
No company in a young and rising
community ever offered better pros
poets to investors than does this Spen-
Ger Metal Products Co. The plant is
located in pretty, healthy, centrally
situate village. 1t is traversed by two
railroads, crossing at right angles.
Paved roads center at Spencer, enter
ing the village from the four points

of the compass. Arrangements have
been made with large corporation
for the running of a $4,000 voltage
power line into Spencer. This will
give the Products Co. cheap power and
enable the village to light it's streets
and the people of Spencer to install
electricity in their homes. There are
miles of cement sidewalks and hum
dreds of handsome homes, new ones
building every month and hundred
additional ones contemplated. Taken
all in all Spencer is an ideal site for
the establishment Of such an enter
prise and with the whole community
interested in it's success there can be
no doubt of it's bright future.
The sale of stock is making rapid
progress. The company officials are
pleased to have the people of Medina
county invest with them as this will
assure added local interest on the part
of all holding Metal Products col
lateral. Properly handled this plant
will prove the one great institution
that will make the people Of Spencer
who invest in it rich, and the plant
operation will give to those who raise
farm and garden products a market
right at home second only to that
which is offered by large city. Every
farmer within five miles of the plant
owes it to himself to invest in not
less than ten shares, for in doing so
he makes himself a market which in
itself will pay him 100 per cent divi-
dend annually.
