in ninety-five working days, beginning October 22, 1917, $900,000 worth of stock

WeN believe thte selling organization to be'
the greatest ever gotten together in a like en

- - ESTIMATED PROFITS
We will buila as good a tire as is built in the United States today and sell all
vi ui men vi n ub an average proj.il oi at least o ,a lire.
The usual average profit is quoted higher than this figure.
We expect to start ourfactory at the beginning, building not less than 200 tlrea
rer day. 1
. We will build as good an inner tube as was ever made, and we can sell all of our
inner tubes to net us an average profit of at least $1 per tube. .
We expect to start our factory turning out not less than 200 inner tubes per day.
When our factory has been running six months we expect to be turning out 600
tires per day and 500 inner tubes per day.
When our factory has been running one year we expect to be turning out 1,000
tires per day and 1,000 inner tubes per day.
We fully believe that we will build an average of 400 tires and 400 tubes every
.working day during the first year's run of our factory.
400 tires per day and 800 working days in the year will give us an output the
very first year of 120,000 tires.
400 inner tubes per day and 300 working days in the year will give us an output
the very first year of 120,000 inner tubes.
120,000 tires at a net profit of $5 per tire equalst$600,000.'
120,000 inner tubes at a net profit of $1 per tube equals $120,000.
$600,000 plus $120,000 gives us a net profit of $720,000. ,
We believe that we will make $200,000 to $300,000 net profit the first year on
our tires and tubes above this amount, but in these figures we want to be very, very
conservative.. ?, '
1 W further believe that on all other rubber goods, which we will be manufac
turing right along, we will make the first year a net profit for the stockholders ofl'
about $500,000. , , ' .. - -. -" : "
But again, to be very conservative, let us say that we only make $280,000 profit
on our rubber goods aside from the tires and tubes.
Now, $720,000 plus $280,000 gives us a conservative net profit for the entire
This will mean 40 dividends oil the $2,500,000 capital.
