ited amount of the full paid capital stock of the company at $3.50 per share (par value

A stated advance monthly in the price of stock has been decided on by the company for 
the reason that the recent location on its property of several extensive manufacturing es¬

ings of its manufacturing establishments in operation and its income from other sources.

will increase rapidly in the market value, with the development of the company’s prop¬ 
erty. 
The stock will shortly be listed on the New York, Chicago, Philadelphia and Boston 
consolidated stock exchanges.
