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.
