Entire Output of the Mines of
sumers Coal Comoanv
- a .:. - w
Con
Has Been Sold for Six Years
to-Banlreld -Veysey Fuel Co.
, -. : 1 '
The Banficld-Vcysey Fuel Company first investigated the proper
ties the Consumers Coal Company. They were interested at
once. Arrangements were made for an immediate test Under
the auspices of Chief Engineer Slocum, Portland General Electric
Company, and Chief Engineer Asher, Portland hotel, together
with other prominent engineers, the coal was thoroughly tested.
It was found to be FAR BETTER THAN HAD EVER BEEN
EXPECTED. Applied to domestic uses or for steam purposes
this coal was absolutely demonstrated to be perfectly satisfactory.
As a result the Banfield-Veysey Fuel Company immediately con
tracted for the entire output of the mines for a period of six years.
The price agreed upon is sufficient to guarantee immense profits to
all stockholders. As nearly as it is possible to figure the returns
from this investment the following statement is approximately
correct:
Shipment September 1, '07, 100 tons a day; profit about 20 per cent
Shipment November 15, '07, 200 tons a day; profit about 40 per cent
Shipment February 1, '08, 300 tons a day; profit about 60 per cent
Shipment November 1, 08, 800 tons a day; profit about 160 per cent
Shipment January 1, '09, 1,000 tons a day; profit about 200 per cent
Banfieljd-Veysey Fuel Co. Is Taking
Orders Wow at $ 6.00 a Ton
The cost of production is bound to decrease as operations enable
the company to facilitate the mining of the coal. This means still
greater profits than those given above.

You, Ask Why We ie Raising the Stock One Mlar a Week
it
One definite and certain way to- find out why the '
-price of this stock is on the increase.is to pay. a visit -to
the properties of .the company just north of Kelso ,
on the Northern Pacific. First secure an oder from ,
the Commonwealth Trust; Company for admission ,
to the-tunnels.. Your first' surprise will be mani--
fested upon observing the enormity of the undertak
ing' and the heroic manner in which the work is be-
ing. carried, on. You will marvel .at our conserva-"
tism in offering the stock for $14 a share when every
indication convinces, you that; it: is worth $30 a
share. - ' You will find a . small army of men" working "
three shifts night and day. You will find. that
, tracks are being laid on the tramway grade; that an
engine has been purchased and is merely waiting
for the tracks to run upon. You will find great
heaps of coal being taken out every day and laid
aside, ready to be transported to the docks at the
riverVedge. If you enter the tunnels you will be
amaxed at the tremendous quantity of coal that is
protruding from the interior, all ready to be mined
and shipped. Then you will become enthusiastic
when you learn that all of this coal has been sold for
six' years. You will say to yourself, "If this coal

is good enough for the Banfield-Veysey Fuel Com
pany it is good enough for me." If you will stop
to consider for a moment you will conclude that
after the six years' contract is terminated the coal
belongs tothe stockholders. From that time on
there is every probability that millions of tons of
coal will be taken from the mines. Millions of dol
lars will be distributed in dividends among the
stockholders who buy now. Think of it! Here is
a big coal mine. It is only a few miles from Port
land. The papers are full of news about coal fam
ine. Yet at the very threshold of this big city is a
supply of coal that seems to be t well nigh inex
haustible. Portland can use every 'pound of it.
The Banfield-Veysey Fuel Company .must have,
thought so when they purchased the Output. The
time is ripe. The opportunity is present. There
' is only one thing for you to do and that is to get
busy and buy all the stock you can handle: Hold,
on as long as you can. Your money will be earn
ing a handsome, income for you within a year.
