WILLIAMS CO., Glastonbury, Conn. ras ‘sane srr a Year for Life SECURED BY SMALL MONTHLY PAYMENTS There is nothing speculative about crude rubber. It can be sold every day in the year, in every market in the world and at a stable price that has been steadily advancing for many years. For a quarter of a century the world’s supply of crude rubber has always been spoken for months before it has reached a civilized market. It can be gathered every day in the year irrespective of weather or season. The ignorant and improvident natives who gather it to-day almost invariably “tap to death” the tree that brings them their golden harvest, and in the virgin jungle no white man can live to guide and oversee them. Hence, the price of crude rubber has doubled in ten years, and the question of the world’s supply for the future becomes of vast moment. ‘Weare changing the production of Crude Rub- ber from the primitive and destructive method heretofore employed to the most scientific and economic plan Known to modern forestry. No industry ever underwent so radical a de- velopment as are now engaged in without making immensely wealthy those who accom. plished the change. 1] x We have 6,175 acres of land in the state of Chiapas, the most fertile soil in Mexico, and we are developing this land into a commercial rubber orchard under the most successful conditions and plans known to scien- tific forestry. We are selling shares in this plantation, each representing an undivided interest equivalent to an acre of land. Fach acre, as soon as it is sold, is cleared and planted to 600 rubber trees ; 400 of these are tapped to'death before maturity, leaving at the end of the development period 200 trees, the normal number per acre for permanent yield. The advantage of this method is that by beginning the tapping thus early, dividends begin also in the same year. ‘Any one can own such shares, or acres, by paying for them in small monthly installments. Supposing you buy only five. You pay $20 a month for 12 months, then $10 a month for a limited period, until you have paid the full price of the shares in the present series— $276 cach ; but during the period of these payments you will have received dividends amounting to $210 per share ; hence, the actual cost of your shares, or acres, is only $66 each, and you own real estate then worth at least $2,500, and from the maturity period onward, longer than you can live, your five acres, or shares, will yield you or your heirs a yearly income of $1,200. ‘This is a most conservative estimate (based on Government reports of the United States and Great Britain, the most reliable sources of information in the world) for 200 trees per acre, and figuring them as yielding each only 2 pounds of crude rubber per year, a total of 400 pounds at 60 cents net per pound. Of course, if you buy 10 shares your income would be $2,400 yearly, or better still, 25 shares will yield $6,000 a year. Five Acres, or Shares, in our Rubber Orchard planted to 1,000 Rubber Trees will at maturity yield you a sure and cere tain income of $100 a month for more years than you can possibly live. Your )¥ dividends average 25 per cent. during the ( period of small monthly payments. a 7 Romible, aferuardrarrounds tis ivextment.
