For the purpoc© cf i. -.rearing the cir- 

 culation of the Mew Zeis L'i:ny and Sun- 

 day Mercury, established fc.8 > tars ago, the

 ducement in the world to small investors. 



Alert investors now have an opportu- 

 nity to secure some cf the stock of this 

 great enterprise. Ihey can buy New 

 York Mercury stock at the very low price 

 of $10 per share. The Mercury Printing 

 Company is incorporated under the law.; 

 of the State cf New York, 'the capital is 

 $500,000, divided into 50,000 shares of $10each, 

 full paid and ncn-assessabte. Stockhold- 

 ers have no individual liability whatever. 

 This stock i5 a talc, solid and highly prof- 

 itable security that is certain to pay large 

 dividend j and rapie.y increase in value. 

 It gives the email invc an equal chance 

 with the ce.p.vaiirt, cj a person with a 

 small rum to invert cr..i buy from one 

 share upward at the sa;_:e price a capital- 

 ist buys thousands ci riearcr. Yv r hen one 

 considers the very high prices that stock 

 in ether New "York, newspapers com- 

 mands, it i: apparent that this present 

 opportunity to buy New York Mercury 

 stock at $10 is one cf those chances that 

 occur only once in a i..nnnc, for at the 

 present rato cf increase shown in the past 

 six months in the circulation and in th : 

 advertising', the stock is absolutely sure 

 to pay enormous dividends r.rr.1 rapidly 

 rise in value. 



The advertising receipts of the Mercury

 circulation has increased at the rate of 

 150 per cent, since April 1, 1895, on the 

 Daily, Weekly and Sunday editions, and is 

 continuing to increase at the same rate 



We will send one copy of the Daily 

 and Sunday Mercury free to every share- 

 holder as long as the stock is held by 

 him or his assigns. For example, if a 

 subscriber purchases ten shares cf stock 

 he will be entitled to ten copies of the 

 Daily and Sunday Mercury free to his 

 own or any other address as long as ho 

 continues to be a stockholder of the cor- 

 poration. These copies of the paper may 

 be disposed cf by subscribers to the capi- 

 tal stock in any way desired by them. 



There will be only a limited amount of 

 this stock dipnorcd cf in this way. Those 

 who are luckv enough to obtain these 

 shares will find that in a very short time 

 they will be worth sno per epnt. premium.
