Our profit per ton is oal is a sound investment. Dur Selling Plan We a Our coal is not sold to dealers, to be jobbed out at any price they see fit to e. We sell direct to the consumer through our own agents, and we set the price, which is always a fair and reasonable one. No Danger of Coal Famine We are near enough to Seattle and have railroad facilities that will eliminate any danger of a coal famine. ~ Ovr agents are always well supplied with coal to meet any demand and our nearness to Seat. tle makes it a matter of a short time in order to get coal on short order. A Few Points to Consider It is well to consider the advantages of coal as an investment. The cost of produccion is less than with any other mineral. smelting or refining. No prospecting for leads; no expense of tunneling, with the chance of finding nothing after you have spent both time and money in doing so. You can figure pretty accurately how much coal you have, and then it is only a matter of get- ting it out. The demand for coal is not confined entirely to a certain season. factor to consider. We have enough coal in sight to supply the demand for years to come. Not a Stock Proposition This is not a stock proposition. We are working for customers as much and more than we are for the sale of these few shares of stock, f you invest in our property we are welcoming you more as a continued customer than as a future stockholder. Office Open Till 10 o’Clock Every Evening The supply is the important | | We Are Satisfied Our stockholders are well satisfied with the showing we are making. Their profits on the investment are very satisfactory. It was only on the suggestion of the manager and president of this company that this plan for raising money was adopted. To Improve Our Property By installing an Electric Tram System for taking out the coal and doing away with the old- fashioned mule power we can reduce the cost of production and increase the production ten times. This system will cost $10,000. For Your Consideration Our profits average $27,000 net per annum. With this improvement installed you can figure for yourself how much increase we can make in dividends. With every share of this thousand that we are going to sell—par value $10 per share—we will ... give three tons of coal free of cost. ~We do this as a means of guaranteeing a dividend. The stockholder will waive his dividends for the next three years if he decides to take the coal. This will figure—at the lowest market price of $5.25 per ton—$15.75 that he is getting in ad- 4 dition to a share of stock in a dividend-paying company. * This means an annual dividend of $5.25 per share. Could you find a better investment? Of course we make by this. ~We increase our list of customers many fold and at the same time get improvements that will _ increase our profits ten times. €f- new customers we will get by this sale will more than pay us for the coal we give away. “Our stock is selling fast, and we have only these 1,000 shares to sell. ‘Our Guarantee We not only give you a certificate that binds us to give you three tons of coal with every share of stock, but we will also make this a promise from each and every director in the company. We want you to know us and are prepared to satisfy any investigation that you may care to pursue.
