|csnt statistics slow that the ssy-)
fneY hanks u the United 6tafes)
hsye invested IN public utility -
curities about ~ for every depost7
TOR. Therefore, While bank depos-
itors nay not realize It. they are
neveftheless indirectly Investors IN
public utility securities. Large and
small insurance companies have
also invested . considerable part
Of their reserves in the same kind
of securities. 20 that insurance
policy holders are also interested
indirectly in these securities. We
noted in : publication today that
Harvard university has 5000. 900
OF it, so, O00, 900 endowment fund
invested in public utility securities.
An idea Of the extent OF customer
ownership of public utilities may
be gained when II fs realized there
are now 100000 public utility
stockholderg in the state OF Illinois
alone, and kheir number is rapidly
increasing.
Eve are telling our stock locally
to investors in the community In
which we all live rather than to,
outsiders who are interested only
in the dividend the stock pays.
This keeps the money at home
where 1t Is spent. and the divl-
bends are paid to our own people.
The price of our stock at the pres
ent time is 800 per share, but it
will be increased to $102 per share
after Nov. Is. Those who own 1t
now or buy 1t before Nov. Is will
have a profit of 81 per share in adj
dition to receiving regular divi-
bends on Z per cent basis. Money
rates are lower now than they
were when this stock was first
brought out, and after Nov. Is we
cannot afford to sell this stock for
500 per share The price OF 500
per share was fixed in 1920, when
an issue OF 100000 of the per
cent prior preferred was author
lied This issue will be entirely
sold out, in our opinion. in the next
few days or weeks. as this stock is
being sold through all of the prop
cites in the eleven cities in which
the United Light & Railways COM
pany 01erates, and the sales in
those cities have been as successful
as the sac locally. The sale which
was held last year beginning in
October was very successful, but
sales were not as easily nor as
quickly made then as they have
been in the past few weeks. This
proves that our customers are
realizing more fully the value and
security of this stock and its most
attractive dividend rates.
Making New Friends.
LAS previously stated, We can
not tell how long the opportunity
will exist to buy this stock at 800
per share. but it certain y will not
exist longer than Nov. Is, because
after that date the price will be
$102 per share. We are especially
pleased to have small investors
make purchase of this stock. be-
cause we are particularly interest
ed in distributing this as widely as
possible in our community because
of the benefit to US in having q

American machinery, according to

Is to 1919 the increase in exports to
Tapan was sensational, rising preclp-
'tously from less that 81 100000 IN
1915 to over $25,O00,000 in 1920.
Exports to Cuba and other Latin
American countries" BEGAN to mere

"a fairly shot upward, from a little
1nder S2O.0O0,OO0 in 1919 to over
sac. noe. 900 in 1920. Exports TO
ether Latin-American countries con-
