$6,000,000 THE AVERAGE GAS, BRASS 6 SCOOP COMPANY Mortgage Sick Per Cent. Serious Old Bonds Lit it Payable Thanksgiving and Memorial Days ‘Authorized Issue, $6,000,000 Outstanding, - $12,000,000 CAPT. WILLIAM KIDD, Trustee Having sold over one-fifth of this issue, we raffle off the remaining portion, sub- ject to allotment. We summarize from the letter of Jean LaTitle, President of the Company, copies of which may be had upon supplication: 1. The bonds are secured by Canceled Checks, Defaulted Notes, Confederate Money and Bills Payable, the market value of which is estimated to be worth largely in excess of this issue, 2, The Company obligates itself to keep st all times net quick liabilities of not Jess than $18,000,000, or 300 per cent. 3. Earnings of the Company for the year 1913 have not as yet shown up, but are expected to pay the State Tax about twice over. 4. A Sinking Spell will be created by the bonds, which it is estimated will ex- pire all of the bondholders by 1916. 5. Proceeds from the sale of these bonds will be used for the sole purpose of in- creasing salaries, increasing the bills pay- able and reducing the bills receivable. 6. This Company and its officers have been engaged in deceiving the public for seventy-five years and have never yet had a profitable year nor failed to levy an assessment. 7. Bonds drawn by the Sinking Spell are not canceled, but kept alive for the benefit of increasing the fixed charges. 8. This issue is followed by the Fed- eral Authorities at Washington. 9. In case these bonds should pay their interest before maturity, the Company reserves the right, upon two days’ notice, to foreclose on the bondholders and seize the issue. 10, A further element of strength is found in the fact that no more bonds can be issued under this mortgage, but must be deposited to secure the outstanding stock. ll. The stock of its subsidiary, known as the Canning and Separating Plant, has agreed to deposit same with all accrued assessments, which is added peril to this mortgage. 12. Application has been made to un- list this issue from all exchanges. 13. Books close April Fool’s Day, be- tween two o’clock. The Company re- serves the right to allot more bonds than are applied for.
