INCOME

This is a period of exceptional
investment opportunities. If you
do not take advantage of some
Of these extraordinary values now
available you will soon be re-
preaching yourself for not having
done so.
We have prepared an analytical
circular fully describing one OF
the most attractive current invest
ment opportunities. Among the
features of this issue are:-
1st.-First capital obligation of
the largest business of its kind
in the world.
2nd-Regular dividend yield of ov-
er go, payable quarterly.
STANDARDIZATION in further pro-
fits.
4th-Non callable, making a per-
manent 99o investment.
5th-Free from the Normal Fed
eral Income Tax.
6th-Average net earnings of over
400 per annum on outstanding
capital during the past ten
years!
The Company's sales for 1920
january LIST to September 1st)
showed an increase of nearly 100
90 over the corresponding period
of the year before. Prospects for
1921 with enlarged facilities, are
for an even greater increase. Such
rapid increase in any business
makes more capital necessary.
Knowing the profits and POSSIBLE
ties of the business, the founders
of the company have agreed to pay
more than go to the contributors
of additional capital before receiv-
ing a like amount on their own
holdings, and then to share further
profits equally. Fill out the cou-
pom below and all details concern
