SPACE 13 ACrlESi' Prospectus of the Siegel-Cooper Co. CO-OPERATIVE STORES, NEW YORK AND CHICAGO. Profit-Sharing with our Patrons. Co-operation with our Employees. THE great success attained since 1887 by Siegel, Cooper & Co., has induced and given warrant to the enterprising owners to further ingratiate themselves into public favor by consolidating their two mammoth establishments into a co-operative enterprise on a profit-sharing basis. They recognize the tendency of the present age to be in the direction of co-operation of employers with employees, as well as in profit-sharing with patrons. To accomplish this desired condition, a new Company, the Siegel-Cooper Co. (Co-operative Stores, New York and Chicago) has been incorporated under the laws of the State of New Jersey with a capital stock of $24,000,000.00, of which $14,250,000.00 is divided into 285,000 shares 6 per cent, cumulative Preferred Stock of $50.00 par value, and $9,750,000.00 into 195,000 shares Common Stock of $50.00 par value. The charter of the Company provides that, after full dividends of 6 per cent, per annum have been paid on the Preferred Stock, and full dividends of 3 per cent, per annum have been paid on the Common Stock, all additional dividends shall be apportioned and paid on the basis of in amount on the Preferred Stock and in amount on the Common Stock. To carry out the plan of Co-operation with its employees, 2,000,000.00 of the Com mon Stock has been placed in trust, the annual dividends of which will be distributed among such employees as have been or may hereafter be with the New York or Chicago establishment for a period of three years during tue.r sausiac tory continuance in the service of the new Com pany ; such dividends will also be continued and paid to employees for life who, after ten years of service with the new Company, become inca pacitated for further employment, thereby practi cally providing a pension fund for faithful employees in their old age. To carry out the plan of Profit-Sharing it is proposed by the present owners, who are the owners of .nil the s'.ock of the new Company, to offer to the public through the undersigned, 200,000 shares (fully paid and non-assessable) of the 6 per cent, cumulative Preferred Stock at par, upon which the full 6 per cent, dividend must always be paid before the Common Stock receives any dividend whatever, the Preferred Stock also having a prior right to all the assets of the Company. In order to give double assurance to the general public, whom it is desired to interest as Stockholders (instead of Speculators) and who may not be fully conversant with such invest ments, the money required to pay dividends on said 200,000 shares has been set aside and will remain on deposit with the Central Trust Company of New York, and the Illinois Trust and Savings Bank of Chicago, respectively, to secure the dividends of 6 per cent, per annum, payable 3 per cent, semi-annually, for a period of five years, ;. e., until July ist, 1903, on all such Preferred Stock as may be allotted in their respective territories, and each Certificate of Stock so allotted will have an endorsement by said Trust Companies, respectively, to that effect. We thereby offer, we believe, not only an absolutely safe 6 per cent, investment, but one which will without question yield consider ably more. Under no circumstances will any of the Preferred Stock not so allotted, nor any of the Common Stock, be sold, the present owners having no desire to sell out, but intending to remain with the business; they will therefore not part with any more stock than they believe necessary to fully carry out their plans for co operation and profit-sharing, as previously stated. The owners confidently believe that, by in augurating the liberal policy above outlined towards their employees, they will in return be rewarded by more faithful service, and courteous attention to patrons, the result of which must be beneficial to the new Company as well as aug ment the continued good will of the public. Furthermore, it can be calculated to a certainty that with many thousands of new stockholders exerting their personal influence toward the suc cess and welfare of the business, larger patronage and correspondingly greater earnings for the new Company will be assured. It is from the increased benefits and material advantages which these changed conditions are expected to bring about, that the present owners feel confident of better pro rata remuneration on the stock which they retain, and in a measure justifies thep in parting with any portion of their interests in an established and exceptionally profitable business. The SIEGEL-COOPER CO. Co-operative Stores will take possession Monday, July ad, 1900, of the two great department stores of Siegel-Cooper Co., New York, and Siegel, Cooper & Co., Chicago, in their entirety, covering a floor space of over thirty acres, with their millions of dollars' worth of Merchandise, Store Fixtures, Delivery Plants (consisting of many hundreds of Horses, Wagons, etc.), Machinery, extensive Stable Properties, and all the appurtenances required for the complete operation of the two stores, and also lis Palatial Fireproof Store Building and Real Estate in New York City, which alone repre sents an asset of many millions of dollars, free of all encumbrances or indebtedness whatsoever, so that the Siegel-Cooper Co. (Co-operative Stores, New York and Chicago) will start its career without owing a single dollar. For the good and sufficient reason of not wishing to divulge the details of our business to our competitors, we present no balance sheet for publication. We do not however, desire to ask our patrons or the public to rely exclusively on our representations, and, therefore, the money required has been set aside and will remain on deposit with the above-named Trust Companies to absolutely secure the dividends on all the Preferred Stock to be allotted as stated. More- over, we allude with pride to the fact that tho Chicago establishment has since its inception paid millions of dollars in dividends to its stock holders, and that the New York establishment, while only in its fourth year, is not only doing a larger business than the Chicago store, but ia also on a most profitable dividend-paying basis. We can also say for the benefit of subscribers, that the net earnings' of our two establishments for the past year were largely in excess of the amount required to pay the dividends on all tho Preferred Stock of the new Company. There will be no change in management, and the same men who thirteen years ago started the original Siegel, Cooper & Co. store in Chicago (and later its sister-store in New York) and who have achieved a success almost without parallel in modern retailing, have pledged them selves to continue in the management of the business of the new Company the same as in tho past, and they will deposit with the Central Trust Company of New York, all of their stock holdings for a term of years to secure such pledge. Subscriptions for the 200,000 shares of the Preferred Stock will be received in person, or by mail, on blank forms provided for that purpose, by the Central Trust Company, 54 Wall Street, New York, and Siegel-Cooper Co., New York and Chicago, beginning at 10 a. m. Monday, May 7th, 1900, and will continue for a period of One Week ; the right, however, is reserved to close subscriptions upon one day's notice in the New York and Chicago daily papers. The above Trust Com pany, for the convenience of our patrons and the public, will receive subscriptions at the Siegel-Cooper Co. store in New York, or at its own office, 54 Wall Street. All subscriptions must be accompanied by money, check, money order or draft, payable to the Central Trust Company of New York, to the amount of 20 per cent, of such subscription (equal to $10.00 per share), for which proper receipts will be given by said Trust Company. Notice will be given as soon as practicable of the number of shares allotted to each subscriber, and the balance due must be paid to said Trust Company on or before July 5th, 1900, upon the delivery by said Trust Company of the stock allotted. a o 3 u 'A U 13 4 s J2 u S .P v. ta IS 3 -a o 14 w u u 3 Date,. .1900.
