T TR ST T of the people and bring the great profit from industry to the pscple. A NEW INDUSTRIAL ERA Like every prophet who proposes a revolutionary idea, these men met every difficulty. Now that mplishment can be written on the banners of the Kelley Tire and Rubber Company, it is with no s of heart that it is revealed that conservatives and skeptics of every stamp ridiculed the idea of industry owned by the people and conducted for the people. Today, instead of an industry y a few men, we see one with thousands of shareholders from every walk of life, each a part rin an industry that is stamped with SUCCESS. Instead of opposition and criticism we find ad- iration and praise on the practical completion of this great and lofty ideal. Instead of a prospect we find accomplished the great plant of the Kelley Tire-and Rubber Company. A TRULY WONDERFUL PLANT There are Tire industries in this country that boast of their size, others of their beauty and still others of their compactness and efficiency, and no doubt they speak with honesty and truth. The factory of the Kelley Tire and Rubber Company, with the utmost modesty can justly claim that for size, beauty, effici- ency and economic arrangement, it has few equals among the industries of this great country. Built on the main line of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, it is unsurpassed in advantage of loca- tion. The main building, now nearing-completion, is a great structure of reinforced concrete const tion, ornamented with brick, three hundred feet long by eighty feet e. There are in addition other buildi in various stages of erection; the office building now completed and occupied for some the power plant and the spreader building, all {o be connected with the main building. The en- tire group has been described by the India Rubber World, an authority in the Tire industry, as one of the finest and best equipped Rubber plants in America. ruc- THE LAST WORD IN EQUIPMENT I'he machinery and equipment of the plant is unrivalled anywhere. The huge calender mills, now 1¢ premises, are being set up and made ready for operation.” These mills are set on great blocks of bedded in solid rock, thus eliminating all vibration or jar to the building. Other machinery is ill soon be set up by experts and made ready for early operation. If you could only illside in the town of West Haven, suburb of New Haven, Conn., and look down upon this you could own a part of it, to be one of its owners and share in its profits, how your ith pride! To look upon it, to see it with your own eyes would convince you i at at least you, too, have a chance in thz Tire industry and can look for the same dividend en the richest and most powerful enjoy.

Most Amazing Story of Industrial Achievement in the History-of New Eng'and Enterprise i / 3 b Several months ago a few men of energy and determination conceived the idea of a great Tire and Rubber industry founded on th= principle of distributing the profits of that industry among the pzopl=. T}:e founders of the Kelley Tire and Rubber Company knew that ths history of most great enterprises showed that th= pecple were seldom welcemed cn th initial financing and that the real large profits were nhued. y a limited few.

X% A ] A CONVINCING ARGUMENT Of cour ere are people who to feel that thrill would feel compelled to stand on that hill in \\.est Haven and look down upon the Kelley plant. There are others and myraids of them who l?.n; fn'nh. who believe in the printed page. Think of those who invested in this company in the very beginning, when it was but an idea; who believed in the principles and purpose of the founders to build this great Tire plant owned by the people. Do you not think that their judgment was sound? They saw ‘mat great opportunity and they grasped it, and they will, indeed, be the profiters by thei isdlom. When you reflect that investors in England, France and Germany, who never saw the 1 nited States, before the war invested hundreds of millions of dollars in American industries, can you feel loyal to your coun- try and not have the same faith in our industries > Even if you were prompted by most <:h'\sh‘ motives, you cannot neglect such an unusual opportunity to participate in the brilliant future of one of New England’s greatest industries. LOOKING FORWARD i ¢ Men who follow the Tire and Rubber industry as a life work look forward td a period ‘_’\f unexampled prosperity.
