The stocks of established and dividend-payin Connecticut manufacturing companies have proven .one of the safest and best-paying opportunities for investing money, particularly for those who have had the foresight to buy these stocks when they were originally issued. The great difficulty for the average investor is, how to inform himself as to the best stocks to buy and where to buy them. 3 I make a specialty of the best dividend-paying Connecticut manufacturing stocks, and conduct my business so that a man with a few hundred dollars to invest has just as good a chance as a man with ten thousand.dollars to invcst g ug&gufq«w-w iy SR The best local manufacturmg stock that 1 know of at the gresent time is the 7% Convertible Preferred stock of the Bridge- port Chain Company. . SRR Y This Company is the largest manufacturer in the world or weldless wire chains which are used extensively throughout the United States and foreign countries, and are sold and recognized by well-known 7rade-mark names in nearly every hardware store in the United States and other countries, by manufacturers in the building trades, in agricultural pursuits, etc. IR A o et 48 "f”‘eg,;&r"“”gg,ifi £ W The Bridgeport Chain Company was established in 1887 by the present management, and the continued growth and expansion of the business and the record of dividends for over twcnty years have been nothing short of remarkable. The officers and directors of the Company are as follows and are recognized at once as being most conservative and suc- cessful Connecticut business men: = - gy, President: - GEORGE C. EDWARDS, Bridgeport, Conn..j President, Holmes & Edwurds Silver Co. Bndgopott, Conn < Vice-President, International Silver Co., Director, City National Bank, Bridgeport, Tnur.e-. Bridgeport Savings Bank, Bridgepon. Conn. Treasurer: GREGORY S. BRYAN, Bridgeport, Conn. Secretary: GEORGE H. EDWARDS, Bfldg-port Conn. 3 GEORGE E. JUDD, Wa ‘Treasurer, West Side S-ving: Bnflk ‘Waterbury, Conn. Praldcm, Mattatuck Mfg. Co., Waterbury, Conn. The Comp:ny's factories are located at' Fast Bridgcport, Conn., on the main line of the N. Y., N. H. & H. R. R. They consist of modern mill con- struction brick bmldmgs having 55,000 squa.rc fcct of floor space, and eleven acres of land. g R e ey The Company has ouutandmg !4,00,000 of Common Stock and has just issued $200,000 of 7% Convertible Accumulative Preferred Stock, which is pre- ferred as to assets as well as dividends, and which has equal voting power with the common. Dividends are payable quarterly on the first days of January, April, July and October. This Company has no mortgage or bonded indebtedness. It takes $14,000 to pay the 7% Preferred Stock dividend each year, while the actual cash dividends paid on the common stock for the last six years have averaged over three times the amount necessary to pay the preferred stock dividend. This preferred stock is convertible into common stock on any dividend date at the option of the holder, so that whenever the dividends on the common stock amount to more than those paid on the preferred, or the common stock be- comes more valuable than the preferred stock, the preferred stockholders can take advantage of this conversion or exchange fefiture The business of the Company, which is constantly growing, is larger this year than any previous year. Its cash asscts in real estate, buildings, and deposits in banks, amount to over $400,000, or over two for one for every dollar of Preferred Stock. The Company discounts- all its bills and-is given high credit by both The Dun and The Bradstrects Mercantile Agencies. I have purchased the entire issue, two thousand shares, of this 7% Cumula- tive Preferred Stock, which I am offering one share or more at $110 per share as long as it lasts, netting to start with 614% on the investment. This 1s the best local manufacturing stock that I have ever had to offer, and I am convinced that within two years this stock will be netting the holder aver 7 and have a market value of $125 to $150 per share, For those whose funds are not available immediately, I will carry this stock a reasonable length of time without expense. Special eircular giving full particulars of this security sest on request, If you have $100, $1,000, or $10,000 to invest, call, write or telephone— Charter 2700 Hartford—at my expense, at once.
