Why You Should Buy GreatWestern Plate Glass Stock
You Never See Plate Glass Company's Stock on Board
of Trade or in Bucket Shops For Sale There is a reason
WHY Once acquired, it is too valuable an asset to let go of all other plate glass
companies stock is held by few families and their relatives.
OUR COMPANY IS ENDORSED BY THE COMMERCIAL CLUB OF LARAMIE,
WYOMING Our Certificate and Number from State of Nebraska R. R. Commission is
No. 69 also the state chemist 'of Wyoming, Wilber 0. Knight, said: "LARAMIE,
THE MOST NATURAL GLASS MAKING CENTER IN THE UNITED STATES."
Where Plant Is Located
The property on which these minerals are de
posited is located at Laramie, Wyoming, a city of
9,000 people, on the main line of the Union Pacific
Railroad, and on the Big Laramie River, 673 mile
west of Omaha and 163 miles north of Denver.
We Have an Inexhaustible Supply
We have possession of an inexhaustible supply
and superior quality of all the minerals necessary
for manufacturing plate glass. No other company
can gay this. Our plant Is the on' one west of the
Mississippi tiverN It will be In close range of
Omaha, Chicago, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, St. Psui.
St. Louis, Kansas City. Houston, Dallas and will be
the sole supply for the entire west and Pacific coast.
Many Will Bay Stock-It Will 5W Rapidly
Those who have already heard of our project are
making requests for blocks of this stock. Now is
your opportunity do not delay this stock will not
be oa the market long.
Plate Class Industry History
I'p to forty years ago all the plate glass used on
this continent was Imported from Europe. For the
forty years past, the greater portion of the supply
used here has been Imported, and up to the cloe
of the year 1114 almost SO per cent of our supply
raine from Belgium and northern France. Since
the war has been going on we have been unable to
Import this product. The factories of Belgium and
France have been demolished and those of Ge massy
closed down as the coaeequenoeg.
Cheap Fuel and Water
T obUIn the necessary fuel nd oil for the low
cost of producing. These items are no small ones
tnd are worthy of attention.
Free Water for Power
We will have free water power, sufficient to run
a doien glass plants.
The factory should pay for itself in a little more
than one year.
The Most Important Thing
LA8T. BIT NOT LEAST to be considered In this
undertaking,, la experience and associates. Mr. A.
C. Bailey has spent his life In the field of the plate
glass industry, and has associated with htm the
most expert man In the business, who has spent
over thirty years at this profession. He also has
associated with him men of fewer years In life, hut
none-the-less capable In the modern methods of
manufacturing plate glass.
SUMMING UP THESE ADVANTAGES: Cheaper
raw material, cheaper fuel, cheaper power and equal
proficiency, have we not a most wonderful proposi
tion, and would you not like to invest your money
In such an enterprise?
Now is Chance to Bay Stock
We are now ready to Issue stock and the amount
of stock to be sold In Nebraska Is limited. 8o do
not delay If you waut a real good Investment.
A stock company has been organised with a cap
ital of 11,600.01)0. Some stock is now being offered
at $100.00 per shares, aa foUowg:
6.000 shares preferred stock, guarantee
ing a 7 dividend, payable semi
annually (00,000
10,000 shares common stock 1.000.000
Total Capltsl $1,500.00$
The plant will cost approximately $1,260,000.
Within a few weeks we should start to break ground
for the plant, which will be rushed to completion
by every possible means. Within nine months we
should be turning out from 160,000 to tOO.OOO feet
of plate glass each month. More as grinders and
polishers are completed.
Profit $100,000 per Month Real
Estimate by Experts
Experts say we can produce glass at a cost of
from lie to 13c per foot. Our cost of production
Is reduced about 60 per cent of the usual rate, and
with an output of 600,000 feet per month, a profit
of not less than $100,000 per month should be made.
