An Investor on Our Plan undertakes to pur chase a definite amount of Gold Notes of the Mountain States Power Company at the rate of $5 (or more) per month. He obtains the notes for the same price as the cash investor. He makes a first payment and receives an own ership certificate upon which his subsequent payments are endorsed. During the Payment Period each deposit as made earns interest for the investor at the rate of 6% per year from the date it is paid in. When the payments are completed the owner ship certificate is exchanged for the Gold Cou pon Notes, paying a return of 8r; a year. If An Investor cannot, or decides not to complete his pay ments, lie has the privilege of withdrawing* his funds, in which ease he receives them back in full with 4% interest added for the time the company has had' the use of his money.. There is no forfeiture or loss. The steady accumulation of wealth by this method will beat get-rich quick schemes 999 times out of 1,000.
