DIVIDEND EARNINGS
We are pleased to announce that we have declared
a OV2 dividend for the year, 1915, and that our busi
ness at the end of this year showed a larger increase
than we expected. Also that the outlook for the year,
1916, is better than 1915.
The past year we have devoted most of our time
and energy in the building of permanent investments,
Euch as well-located
APARTMENT HOUSES
that 6how large returns, and
ACREAGE PROPERTIES
that have proven for years to be gilt edge investments
and have increased in value rapidly.
OUR PROFIT-SHARING PLAN
has been a success on account of being able to offer the
smaller investor preferred shares of stock in our Cor
poration that
GUARANTEES 7ft DIVIDEND EARNINGS
but has always paid more. Only one year we paid as
low as 9;
This new plan enables the smaller investor to share
the profits in all the business on the same basis as the
larger investor, and he has no details to look after.
Dividend earnings are payable January 1st and July
1st of each year.
WE ARE OFFERING PREFERRED SHARES
for a short time only at $105 a share. The next ad
vance will be January 10th. Remember 1 These shares
are guaranteed to earn not less than 7 on par value,
but have always paid more. Don't put off buying some
of this stock now, before the advance. See or write us
about it at once. After investigating you will find our
