the General Light & Power Com

This announcement states that

tive preferred stock, in either
small or large amounts, can be
purchased by customers Of the

This is the first public offering
of this security and the manage
ment of the company, knowing
that large number will want to
take advantage of this excep-
tional opportunity. has made ar
rangements to sell these shares
not only for cash but on a most
liberal partial payment plan.
Under this plan payments as
low as $40 a month will be ac-
cepted.
This places these shares within
the reach of everyone.
These shares pay dividends
every three months amounting
to 81 share each year, bringing
an income of more than 74@o on
the money invested at the pres
ent price.
The stock is free from city,
county and state taxes in Mime

We talked a little after dinner while
sfanville smoked; talked of the home
