OU will be interested in the story of a client
of ours. It is a story of extraordinary business
growth beginning with a vision of a worker at"
the bench and de eloping into a great manufactur
ing business, with its own national Vhain-store and
mail-order distribution.
It is a Philadelphia industn factory and head
offices here. The goods it manufactures are in
uniersal use. The market is world wide. Na
tional advertising has developed a great and grow
ing demand for its trade-marked product a de
mand that makes immediately necessary a huge pro
gram of epansion fo,r 1920.
Nearly a Million Dollars Increase
in Four Years
Sales for 1919 were greater by $571,129.48
than 1917. And $920,033.25 larger than in 1915!
Observe, these are figures of increase.
This is not only a manufacturing business not
merely a mail-order business not alone a chain
store system, but a combination of all three, realiz
ing the full profits of manufacturer and middle
man profits that jou hae a chance to share in
liberally through acquirement of a part of the pres
ent new issue of stock.
It Is an industrial investment that offers not
alone interest on your money, but profit with safety.
The proposition is open, of course, to searching
investigation.

company may be had by addressing
