NOW, JU FEATURE ANCIAL Our Company is capitalized at $1,000,000, but this full amount does not shate with you in dividends] The organizers of several years’ time perfect and demonstrate this device the Company, who have given and nearly $100,000 in money to , retain the con- trol of it, but by the written provision of the Com- pany’s records, only the actual outlay to which they have been subjected shares in the initial dividends. The Company records provide that the stock you purchase shall be paid a div lend of 7 per cent be- fore this control stock, so called, receives any divi- dend whatever Thus, instead of buying stock in a million-dollar corporation (which is itself a very con- servative capitalization for our property), you are really investing in about a $250,000 corporation, so far as dividends are concerned. Our campaign for funds has been so successful up to date that the prospects are that it will not last long. If you intend to take advantage of the Dppor- tunity to invest with us while the price of our stock is low, you must act quickly.
