THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 1902. 27 BILLIONS OF BASKETS and BIG DIVIDENDS fo investors ANOTHER MERGENTHALER INVENTION WHICH RIVALS THE FAMOUS LINOTYPE. REVOLUTION IN A GREAT INDUSTRY | Basket-Making by Hand Superseded by the Work of the Most Marvelous Machines Ever Set in Motion. Large Profits for the Big Company waich is farmed to do the Entire Basket Business of the United States. Stock offered to the Publc at Fifty Cents a Share (Par Value $1.00). Full Paid and Non-Assesszbe. Everybody knows. the wonderful Lino- type invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler; how it revolutionized typesetting and made the modern newspaper possible. Nearly ev knows how repeated efforts hav » made to copy and in- fringe upon this marvelous creation, and how the courts have always sustained and protected Mergenthaler because his in- vention and the letters patent covering it were 50 absolutely fundamental in char- acter-and claims. All investors know how the prosperity of the Mergenthaler Linotype Company | has developed o almost phenomenal proportions. They know, too, how the announcement of its great dividends arouses the envy of all who have no hold- ing of the stock A scrimi ng investors know that | the great secr of the success of the notype Company is that founded upon the solid rock of Ott- Mergen er's invention, which saves m ntrols its field. 1f there sh: ¥ person who does not know Mergenthaler 1 it pe machines and what for typesetting all over person inquire of some or publisher. hat the Linotype has £ by hand and the te g, the ented Emmett aking baskets by hand the by < was t < ur immense crops es and general ing this great and ry out of the plodding stage t by leaps and bounds into £ vrogression. t Mac] re so wonder- t one machine, with one the work of twelve baskets that are stronger and better | fectly, -turning ¢ uniform | e that will turn r 4000 complete ) $60‘to $90, and wonderful Merg- | de sewing by hand | automatic | Ottmar | Horton are | introduction of | e only known way | earn for its owner a profit of $3) to ) per day!

Few people understand much effort the getting together of the enormous number of baskets every ye involves. When you take into account that it requires over TWO BILLION BASKETS to hold and market the grapes | and berries and peaches of this country the importance of the connection with the manufacture of bas- kets becomes Instantly p This vast number of new baskets is now required every year for our fruit, and the demand is constantly fruit-z: projects multiply sectio our country whole train loads of berries | and grapes have gon baskets could not be promptly secured, or when it was possible to secure them their cost was almost prohibitive because kers and does its work| of the hand-labor involved in the manu- | facture. The California fields have as vet been but partially “opemed up because of an handworkers can pos- | the great cost of securing baskéts to move | the crop across continent, and yet the demand for fruits of all kinds is steadjly growing for every purpose. Never was there a greater need than how great an | industry the making of baskets for our great fruit crops has become, or how | ving of labor in| NEW 'ADVERTISEMENTS. that now Bugplled by these machines for| multiplying .baskets = without limit and| bringing them easily and quickly to the place where they are needed. Never was | there a more perfect accomplishment than that row shown in the Mergenthaler- Horton Basket Machines, which work with almost human ingenuity and with a precision characteristic of the mechan- ical exactness of the inventor's mind. The picture in this article shows the machine in operation, and the illus- trations of the product of the machines in all their everyday appearance show the work of the inventor and the work of his machine. It is difficult by a photograph to give any adequate idea of the impression these machines create upon the mind of one who observes their work for the first time. The endless Stream of bas- kets coming away from the machine, ab- solutely complete and perfect in every detail, " with the raw material in , the the Mergenthaler-Horton Basket Machine Company a long and prosperous' life, and to its stockholders a most attractive and satisfying return for investment. For the purpose of manufacturing and equipping a_large number of these ma- chines for the manufacture of grape bas- kets, berry baskets, peach baskets, and California” fruit baskets, the Mergen- thaler-Horton Basket Machine Company will for a limited time dispose of a lim- ited amount of their stock, so that every person may, if he or she acts promptly, secure an investment which is certain to bring them great returns. Under = this plan, and for the purposes stated, as well as for the purpose of equipping plants in various parts of the country, the com- any will retain among its own original flolderu a large number of enthusiastic men and women who have become justly entitled to the great profits which will accrue from their early investment in the | company. Mergenthaler-Horton Grape Basket Machine in Operation. | shape of strips, called veneers, being fed into the opposite side, cannot be faith- fully shown by any photograph; but the operation of the machine is absolutely | fascinating because the work comes from | it completed, and, from a mechanical and commercial standpoint, beautiful. Commission merchants who have han- dled fruit in baskets made by these ma- chines now demand that their shippers pack in such baskets instead of the hand- made. This, of course, has been, and still | is, for the most part, an impossibility | since there are only about forty machines | manufactured and in operation; but with the present far-reaching plans of the ten million dollar company that has under- | taken to develop thid great commercial and manufacturing enterprise, the use of | the machine basket will soon become uni- versal from the Atlantic to the Pacific. TWO MILLIONS SAVED. Some {dea of the prospects of this com- pany may be gathered from the fact that | the cost of making the present yearly sup- | ply - of baskets will be reduced fully TWO MILLIONS of dollars for labor | alone. Even if the company succeeds in ; doing no more for its stockholders than | dividing up as profit the saving they ef- | fect in labor, the dividends will be enor- { mous; but when it is taken into account that this company will entirely control | the basket-making industry and will make for those who hold its stock all the money now made by the many small bas- | ket concerns the possibilities of the com- | pany in the way of income become almost | fabulous. | Looking into the strength of the patents upon which the Mergenthaler-Horton Bas- | ket Machines are made one finds them | almost without precedent in breadth and fundamental value. - No —more secure basis for great business success can there be than that enjoyed by the owners of these patents. Law firms of national re- pute have rnsFed on the patents and find | them based on such absolutely new prin- | ciples that they stand alongside of those which protect the great Linotype in their monumental solidity. This guarantees to THE PEOPLE’S COMPANY. In these respects the Mergenthaler- Horton Basket Machine Company differs from other commercial and industrial en- terprises which divide their capitalization with some trust company or some so-call- ed “underwriting syndicate,” which trust i i i i S o eme 5 company or syndicate makes an enormous | profit by furnishing the needed sums for working capital, and then, after the company so floated is in_working order, sells the stock to the public at a_ valué which will bring as returns only fair in- terest on the investment.

The past year's demands for fruit baskets amounted to over TWO BIL LION BASKETS. worth at wholesal over ELEVEN MILLION DOLLARS. These baskets were all made by hand. The saving in labor by the use of the Mergenthaler-Horton Basket Ma- chines amounts to more than TWO MILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY. The_profits of the manufacturers of these hand-labor baskets amounted td $1,387,000. This gives earnings for the Company of OVER THREE MILLION THREE CENT ON THE EN 5 ON THE PRESENT VOLUME OF BUSINESS, and’ the demand for fruit baskets of all kinds is increasing at the rate of 150,000,000 baskets per year. share of the stock a voting share and giv- ing to every investor, no.matter how small the profit to which he Is entitled. The company has no preferred stock, no bonds and no debts; all its shares are common shares, and every person invest- ing at the present price becomes part of the great popular syndicate which is fur- nishing the money for this great enter- REGULATES SUPPLY AND SHIPMENT OF FRUIT. It is impossible to market the vast vol- ume of fruit without the baskets, just as | it is impossible to market the country's | great production of oll without Standard | pipe lines. And as the Standard Oil Company owns and reaps the profits from all the pipe lines, so the Mergenthaler-Horton Bas- ket 'Machine Company, owning all_the basket machines and operating them itself, will exercise the same contrdl over the fruit markets of the country. WONDERFUL CAPACITY OF THE MACHINES. There has been ample demonstration, too, of the ability, of these machines to do all that is claimed for them. A number of the basket machines have been in op- eration for over a year at the factory | of Robison & Co., at Painesville, Ohlo, and this factory, because of its ability to turn out baskets cheaper than any of the hand mills, and of a better grade, has been taxed to its fullest capacity. Persons who have contemplated the purchase of con- siderable blocks of stock have visited Painegville for the purpose of seeing the | machines in operation. | The sight of the machines in full opera- tion has been in every instance an irre-| futable . argument and has made many stanch friends for the Company. One thousand of these machines will manufacture the entire number of baskets for grapes berries and other fruits that | are annually demanded in the United | States. NOT ONE MACHINE LEASED| OR SOLD. ‘ Not one machine will be leased to any one else or put on royalty, as it is the | purpose of the company to fully control | the fruit basket industry. Its batteries | | of machines will be lucated at different | points in the richest fruit-growing terri- tories. No other machine®has ever been made | | for the manufacture of frult baskets, and the patents controlled by this Company are so fundamental and basic in character that any attempt to construct such a ma- chine must Involve infringements which v{m be immediately stopped by injunc- tion: HOW MONEY MULTIPLIES. How can you use to best advantage $500 1 or $1000, or even $25? Place it as an investment in some stock that you are positive is going to advance in price, some stock which will score such an advance BECAUSE it has the power behind it to earn and pay big dividends, :ml:s giving it a constantly increasing value. Just such an opportunity is offered to you NOW in a purchase of the shares of théTMERGENTHALER-HOBTON BAS- K MACHINE COMPANY. In a year or 8o these same shares, which can be bought to-day for 50 cents, par value $I. will undoubtedly be in universal demand at prices far beyond par, because the de- sire to secure the heavy dlyidends which this company will be enabled to pay will cause the stock to be eagerly sought for, and the price therefore must wcrk higher and higher. FRUIT SEASON IS CONTINUOUS. The grape, fruit and berry seasons of g,u;;k;uumry are not confined to a few The country is so vast and the transpor- tation facilities so excellent now for all | kinds of fruit that the fields of California and Georgia, of Florida and Michigan. of Arkansas and Maine, of Louisiana and Canada, to say nothing of the vast flelds of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio, Indiana and Texas, contribute their product to the markets of our great cities during nearly the whole year. ‘When one section begins to. ease down the volume of its delivery another section starts up, a stream of fruit is constantly moving from the flelds to the markets | and to the preserving factories, and all ot this fruit is now packed in BASKETS MADE BY HAND.

C., March 22.—With four men aboard her the little Seattle | steamer Alice disappeared during Thurs- day night's storm on Queen Charlotte Sound, 250 miles up the coast. This was the news brought to Vancouver to-day by the steamship City of Seattle, whose offi- cers report that there is scarcely a doubt that the Alice went to the bottom. On Friday morning not a vestige of her re- mained, although the City of Seattle and the steamship Neptune searched for her during the entire forenoon. The Alice left Seattle a week ago for ‘Wrangel Narrows. For some reason not vet explained she was being towed across Queen Charlotte Sound by the steamship Neptune. The latter had been towing two scows northward and added the Alice to her charge. There were four men on the Alice, but their names are not known. At least three were deckhands, who were sent aboard from the Neptune to steer er. The boats were caught by a western gale. Some time in the m?ht the cables parted, and daylight on Friday the Nep- tune found that she had lost the Alice and one of the scows. She cruised around all that morning, but found no trace of either. She ran across the City of Seattle and reported her loss, and Captain Nich- olson kept a close lookout, without re- sult. The sea was so rough that even {if the Alice had been able to navigate she would have been at the mercy of the waves. As it was, sh¢ had up no steam and probably eank a very few minutes after she was lost by the Neptune.
