Mr. Mautz, of Maple Lane, Is moving INTRODUCTORY TO BE FOLLOWED BY "REFLECTIONS ON THE ONE-TALENT-MAN" Perhaps you are traveling in a beaten path. Possibly, today, you live yesterday over again. Possibly you are in the habit of living the same day over and over again, 365 days of the year. Then it will be some time before you are in the notion of entertaining a little change of programme. But you'll get around to it. You are the man we are talking to. ' After this, read in following issues of this paper, "Reflec tions on the One-Talent Man." You learned to stand alone when some two years of age. You are old enough to learn to THINK alone now. Did it ever occur to you that most people NEVER DO learn to think alone? When you feel that you can listen to something a little out of the ordinary we are going to propose that you become one of the 300 individuals who, as proprietors, are going to constitute the foundation of a great mercan tile enterprise. Don't hold up your hands in horror. You have contributed your share toward the building up of many a great enterprise. The only difference is this: You didn't retain any evidence of the money you put in the business so the title to the sky-scraper, the block it occupies and the goods it contains the title to it is all in the other fellow. But your money did the work your money built the palace of the poor merchant who used to sell you goods in a dingy little shack on a side street. This is the "other side" of the story of the rise from the poor clerk to the millionaire merchant. Perhaps you, kind reader, before you have gotten this entirely off your mind, will be prepared to become one of the 300. You like, no doubt, to do what most every one else is doing. That is because, like most every one else, you want others to think for you. But remember this: The man who goes to the front is the man who gets out of the beaten path. He gts out of the old ru cuts across lots, and while the muiti'.ude plods along he bobs up far ahead. When you have thought of all the possible reasons why you should NOT be one of the proprietors of the establishment where you do business, then you will be prepared to consider the reasons we are going to advance why you SHOULD BE one of the proprietors. This later. E. W. Mellien & Co., is a corporation, organized for the purpose of dealing in all merchandise needed in the complete equipment of a home. The stockholders elect three directors and they conduct the business through a manager selected by them. Par value of the stock is $10 par share and there are 600 shares unsold, which are now placed on the open market. The public was not asked to take this stock at the beginning of the enterprise. It is offered now after the business is established and after the stock is on an actual earning basis of 10 per cent. January 1st, next, a statement will be prepared from the books of the corpora tion for the benefit of all stockholders, and this will show the stock to have an earning capacity at that time GREATER THAN 10 PER CENT. We venture this prediction and you will see the fact bear out the prediction. One year from January 1st, next, every share of the capital stock of E. W. MELLIEN & CO., now worth $10.00, will be worth $20.00, and will have an earning capacity of 20 per cent. If you have not already guessed it we will later show you the ob ject in distributing this stock instead of placing it in the hands of a few individuals. We are sellng agents for ths stock and invite your inquiry regarding it either in person or by letter. Call oi or addrss EASTHAM, SMITH & CO.
