A WONDERFUL
INVENTION
Invented by A. W. Arnold
An Automatic Damper which controls the
fire in a stove or furnace. Economizes from 25 to
50 per cent of fuel and is a wonderful convenience.
So very simple and so very effective. Will
never get out of order and will never fail to work.
The Safety and Economy Damper
Company is now fully organized under the
laws of Oregon with a capital stock of $100,000.00,
divided into 100,000 shares at $1.00 each. This
company owns alls of the United States rights
under these valuable patents and the stock of the
company will be worth many times its par value
in a short time for it will pay enormous dividends
in this low capitalization.
We are co-operating with J. M. Kerr, of Port
land, Oregon, in demonstrating this damper and
taking subscriptions for the stock as we consider
it the greatest thing we have ever seen. We have
invested money in the stock and are glad to ask
our friends to invest in it. We are also taking
orders for the dampers for future delivery as we
want to receive one of the first shipments of the
dampers and we hope to see Hillsboro raise a good
portion of the money to fiinance the enterprise.
Come and see a demonstration, do not fail for
it is a little wonder.
Do not fail to buy some of this StocK
