September 1. iv@ pany The Coal Problem i the first of September, coal was advanced 50c a ton. ‘ore the winter is over, this price will be even higher. Remember the coal famine several years ago? This may be repeated any time. The coal dealers make the price and get whatever they ask for it | King Coal is as good as any and sells for less. Our Property | The King Coal pos; Dnary property is 57 miles from Seattle; four railroads to ship over; 800 acres of good coal ; our own railroad spur, connecting with the Northern Pacific and Great Northern railroads; a complete equipment for operating a mine; we are now ship- ping to 17 cities, including Seattle. i At the lowest estimate, our property will produce 20,000,000 tons of coal. Our profit per ton | is $1.25. Coal Investment Versus Others Coal is a sound investment. i A good property means a sure profit. | The demand is not a matter of speculation. | The = for coal is not confined to any specific time; there is a call for coal the year round, The cost of production is far below that of any other mineral. The price is not regulated by the stock market, like copper or other minerals. H The real fact to consider is the SUPPLY. | We have enough coal in sight to supply a large market for years to come. i| We Are Satisfied | We produce oyer 27,000 tons of coal a year. Our profit is $1.25 per ton. Our stockholders | are very well satisfied with this profit; the manager of the company wants to make more. } Not at the expense of the consumer, but by installing a system of taking out the coal that =| will decrease the cost and increase the output. | increase Our Output By installing an electric system for taking out the coal we can increase our Output ten times. e The present capacity makes us a profit of $27,000 a year; with this new system we can increase our profits to $270,000. The old-fashioned mule system is a constant source of expense. The electric system reduces the cost to a minimum. e Phone Main 1613 Office Open Till 10 o’Clock Every Evening - e Our Proposition By selling 1,000 shares of stock at $10.00 per share, we will increase our list of patrons andat | & the same time raise sufficient money to make this much-needed improvement. To every purchaser of stock we will give, absolutely free, three tons of coal per share—in lieu 2 of dividends for three years. No doubt you wonder where we get off. This by way of explanation. Every purchaser of this stock will naturally become a booster for King coal. He will buy all his coal from us and you may be sure his friends will hear of the low price and good quali- ties of our coal. Take your paper and pencil and figure how much we will make by the increase in patrons this sale of stock will bring us. We figure we will get our money back and have an Electric Tram System free within a year. Are we right? Dividends Guaranteed They say that “one man’s gain is another's loss,” but in this case both parties make good. The purchaser of stocks gets $15.75 worth of coal (at the lowest market price of $5.25 per ton) and a share of stock free. We get an electric system and increased patronage. The buyer of this stock is practically guaranteed a dividend of $5.25 per share per annum. Isn’t this a convincing argument for investing? You Can’t Lose We will give you a guarantee that we will do as promised. — This guarantee is not only backed by the company, but by every director in it. We want your confidence and will do everything in reason to get-it. Our offices are open from 9:00 a. m. to 10 p. m. This opportunity is for a short time only, and you may as well understand now that when this stock is sold there won't be any more. And it’s going fast. 617 Pioneer Buildings SEATTLE Office Open Till 10 o’Clock Every Evening King Coal Mining Company ‘ Phone aa Main 1613. @ jp1WORNE ABD > OT anak Seok tebe
