AMERICAN TRANSFER & FIREPROOF STORAGE CO.
On a Solid Foundation
THE AMERICAN TRANSFER COMPANY was incorporated in Omaha,
Neb., in 1906, and in 1908 purchased by Fred Busch, with the. entire stock, in
cluding the assets and business. This company was then consolidated with
the Busch Transfer Company, being designated as THE AMERICAN TRANS
FER COMPANY. The present storage facilities are inadequate to properly
handle the rapidly increasing business of the Company. On this account, it has
been decided to increase the authorized Capital Stock to $500,000, and from the .
proceeds of the sale of stock, erect a modern, eight-story, fireproof warhouse
on the property owned by the Company, at 14th and Pacific Sts., Omaha, Neb.
A $350,000 Building
The warehouse will be 100x132 feet in dimension, eight
stories and basement, absolutely fireproof and modern
throughout. The estimated ost will be $350,000, so that
the property of the company, including the warehouse,
stables, real estate, trucks, vans, horses and business built
up in the past 25 years, insures investors that they are re
ceiving a dollar's worth of actual value for every dollar
invested. x
The Permanent Prosperity of the Storage and Transfer Business
That there is a permanent prosperity for the Storage and Transfer business is assured by both local and national cemditions. Omaha, which will soon be a
city of half a million people, stands at the head of its class as a marketing center for food-products, eleventh in bank clearances, is the market town and distribu
ting center of the richest agricultural territory in the world. Omaha's tributary population is the richest per capita in tie country and has a great purchasing power.
This purchasing power deals in bulk commodities, such as vehicles, farm machinery and manufactured articles of the most expensive class. Before this is distribu
ted it must be stored. At the present time there is but 468,000 square feet of storage space in the city. All of this space is occupied to the last inch and after a care
ful survey of the present needs of the city, it would indicate that only 50 of the present needs is being taken care of and no plans for the future business that is bound
to come in the days of readjustment. The erection of this new building by the AMERICAN TRANSFER '& FIREPROOF STORAGE COMPANY is designed to
take care of these needs and make it possible to take care of the business that cannot now be handled in Omaha. ; . ?
PRACTICALLY EVERY DOLLAR OF THE $500,000 RAISED IN THIS CORPORATION WILL BE INVESTED IN THE BUSINESS AND IN THE STRUCTURE,' THUS GUARANTEE
ING EVERY DOLLAR OF YOUR MONEY IN A GILT-EDGED REAL ESTATE AS WELL AS BUSINESS-SECURITY, WHICH ALSO GUARANTEES YOU 7 PER ANNUM ; ON THE
$400,000 OF PREFERRED STOCK ISSUE. .
" THIS IS AN INVESTMENT THAT SHOULD APPEAL TO TRUSTEES OF ESTATES, BANKERS AND OTHER INVESTORS WHO ARE NECESSARILY COMPELLED TO -PLACE
MONEYS IN SECURITIES OF THE SOUNDEST CLASS. ' . ;
