They outwear leather, keep the feet dry and cool in hot weather, dry and warm in winter. And they grip with every step. Pancord heels are made good engugh to follow Panco soles for a long, long time.

We are making - splendid -progress in the: selling of this stock. The more carefully you.look into the:prospects —the stronger grows the conviction that it is a winner. I don’t see how any other conclusion can be reached, for when you consider that the two things which hinder the success of most financing companies are-conditions that do not exist in ours— —Idle capital—waiting for a safe client. —And large administration expense. —You must see that ours is a different proposition altogether. With us—we are invested up to the last dol- lar—dividend-earning investment in the program of the Wardman Construction Co.—that will utilize every dollar available. So you don’t want to miss participation in such an avowed success—upon the specially attractive con- ditions of this first issue of stock. Each share of 89% Preferred at $125 carries with it a share of Com- mon. That Common must pay at least $4—or nothing. But it is very easy for me to figure more than the $12 which shows on the face—and we are in a fair way to make it. Do make up your mind promptly. If there is anything further you want to know, we will make detailed reply. Suabscriptions may be made for all cash—or $50 per share cash, balance in 30 and 60 days.
