One such company in the first twenty-four years of ojeration, by the use of this plan, was 'enabled' to accumulate more than nine teen times its capital in the form of surplus, and its total assets in this time grew to more than twenty.-four million dollars. Another such conipany in sixteen years accumulated over nine hundred thousand dollars by this same plan, while its assets grew to over three and one-half million dollars. It mill, therefore, be readily understood that by discontinuing the sale of stock, and Instead, to issue its bonds, that tbls company's Mock Mill steadily "increase tn value because of Increased earning power for the bonds mill be is sued for Ions time periods, bearing a fixed rate of interest which, while much better than the rate paid by Savings Hanks, mill he low enough to permit this company to make a considerable profit over and above tbe fixed Interest rate; and these profits mill naturally accrue to tbe company's stockholders. . Hereby announces that its capital has been fixed at $750,000--It is deemed that this amount of capital in conjunction with other facilities will be amply sufficient for this company's large and growing business. To the Public: The abovo announcement signifies that the opportunity to-become a shareholder in this company is limited to those who will act in the very near future. Our business, which is that of building homes and business buildings, and the purchase and development of carefully : selected real estiite for sale, is one of the most conservative, non-speculative, anrprofitnblt! businesses in which money can be engaged, as is evi denced by the great real estate fortunes which have been amassed in, every city in the land. This company is organized so ns to secure profits from more operations in the handling of this line of business than any other sin gle institution of i4s kind in the middle west. ; This company is equipped, to secure and combine the profits, which ordinarily are divided among loan institutions, which finance the purchase of improved real estate on the easy payment plan, the architect, the building contractor, the mill work manufacturers, the jeal estate agent and the real estate owner, each branch of the work beinf handled by experienced men, who combine their efforts under a single management in a most economical and efficient manner. Our Success can be Judged best by Ilesults - This company has never paid lens than 8 dividend. - . Since January 1st, 1913, it has paid three semi-annual dividends at tbe annual rate of 8ro. Our assets are far in excess of (6 00,000 and are growing steadily, as is the volume of our business. ThoHO mho have matched this company during the past years, and m-ho have Keen It reach Its present position of stability and prominence through the most conservative, and yet progressive, kind of business management, cannot but realize that the present action of tho company in limiting its capital and arrang ing to carry on its future business extenslona by means of borrom-ed capital, to be secured at a low fixed interest rate, Ih simply another indication of the cr active, producing power of Ita plan of operation. The man who will make a thorough investigation of this company will find that we have built up one of the most effi cient organizations in the middle west for the handling of Real Estate and the business of improving Real Estate in a safe and profitable manner. The opportunity to own stock in this company is limited to those who will join us in the very near future.
