Collier's Weekly, Western Number

This document contains two stock investment prospectuses rather than pulp magazine fiction. The first promotes Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company of America stock at 65 cents per share, offering 100,000 shares of a $6,650,000 capital issue. It details wireless telegraphy technology's commercial applications—ship-to-shore communication, transatlantic passenger vessel installation, and land stations—claiming revenue projections based on English operations showing $3,000-$5,000 annual profit per equipped ship. The second prospectus markets Doremus Automatic Vending Company stock at 40 cents per share, promoting an inventor's cigar vending machine with claimed monopoly status. It emphasizes agreements with Typographical Union No. 6 for machine placement in printing offices, projecting one million machines eventually in use and substantial profits for both the company and participating unions' hospital funds.
