USES FULLER'S EARTH
An Opportunity for Investment
Many investment opportunities are erroneously described as "sure things" by
promoters who forget that the only sure things in life are death and taxes, but occa-
sionally there does come into view a proposition which merits all the encomiums which
the most enthusiastic promoter can lavish on it.
If you have a natural monopoly, an unlimited supply of something which is just
as staple as wheat for bread; if you had the very best quality in the world of that
particular commodity; and if you could produce your material on the market at a cost
which would enable you to completely distance any domestic or foreign competition,
would you consider yourself fortunate, or not?
Any company which can offer the investor a chance to share in the benefits of such
a situation may safely claim that it is giving investors a chance to come in to some-
thing which cannot help but make enormous dividends.
Here is the story in a nutshell:—The
Fuller's Earth Co. of America controls
960 acres of California land on which
there is not less than 15 million tons of
Pure Commercial Fuller's Earth, which
mills 100 per cent, leaving no debris or
tailings. This earth can be milled,
crushed, transported to railroad, placed in
sacks and put on cars F. 0. B. for $3.25
per ton. The earth haS\been chemically
analyzed; it hag been phr:tcally analyzed;
it has been commercially tested and en-
dorsed for every purpose that the best
English earth is used. A mill has been
built, which necessary machinery, build-
ings and transportation facilities, ware-
houses have been erected and samples of
earth produced for commercial purposes.
Last year of which any record can be
had, that is 1914, there were nearly 70,000
tons of Fuller's Earth consumed in the
United States, the greater proportion of
it coming from England. Its use is in-
creasing at the rate of 20 per cent per
annum. This Company could have sup-
plied the entire demand from its depositS
and never noticed the movement. It alone
could take care of the demand from the
United States for 100 years at the same
rate and would still not exhaust its re-
sources of earth.

This investment comes as near being a
"cinch" as anything could ever be. Read
the second paragraph over again.
Au issue of Fifty Thousand Dollars'
worth of common stock, at par, will be
made at this time r issued to applicants in
the order of receipt of application. The
stock is sold, for a limited time, at par,
i. e., $10 per share, up to the end of the
period of allotment, after which the stock
remaining will lie placed on the market
at a premium.
The Company wants to more rapidly de-
velop the properties. It offers 5,800 shares
of stock, which is non-assessable, at $10
par value, out of an authorized issue of
$100,000, and has a treasury reserve of
$100,000 (one hundred thousand dollars)
available for future stock dividends. Not
a share of stock has been issued for any-
thing but tangible property and there is
no "water" in any lornt in the stock issue.
It is an opportunity to invest in a con-
cern whirls is intrinsically valuable, which
has natural possibilities far beyond the
dreams of avarice, yet whirls is conducted
in a conservative manner by men of the
highest probity. The security of every

Prospects of dividends are exceptionally
bright. If the Company handles only 12,-
000 tons of earth per annum it will make
over $81,000 for its stockholders. Allow-
ing a dividend of 81 per cent would be
very much like finding the money. Small
investment in this stock is strongly recom-
mended by a large number of prominent
Detroit business and professional men who
are of the opinion that an investment of
$1,000 in this stock will be likely to pay
sufficient dividends to insure a compe-
tence.

BOOK REVIEW .
SCRAPS AND BITS, by Louis
James Rosenberg. R. F. Fenno
& Company, New York.
The above little volume by Louis
James Rosenberg, well known De-
troit attorney and author, has just
made its appearance ill local literary.
circles. It consists of ten short es-
says, papers and addreses, and
covers a wide range of subjects,
from a splendid exposition of Ernst
I Iaeckel's Monistic Philosophy to a
brilliant discussion of Zangwill's
Melting Pot and addresses on Faith,
Patriotism, and similar topics.
The worst criticism that can be
made of Scraps and Bits is that
there is not enough of it ; the best
suggestion for its improvement that
can be given to the author would be
to a(1(1 to it ten more essays similar
to those] published. Splendidly
written, its a rigorous and 'forceful
style which is yet elegant and
polished, in clear and lucid lan-
guage. This little volume ( it can be
perused in an hour ) opens to the
reader a veritable vista of new
thoughts visions. I low better
or more strikingly could the con-

years. But it has, through persis-
tent Nvisdoni in planning, conserved
this system of arteries. And it has,
through recent activity, converted
it into a great civic asset, by paving
and parking and adequate mainten-
ance.
Detroit has today what many
other cities are striving for and
what still other cities are just be-
ginning to regard as something
worth striving for—namely, a sys-
tem of connecting continuous boule-
vard drives, bringing the main sec-
tion of the city' into direct contact
with the outer sections of the city,
and the parks and recreation places.
It has conserved within its down-
town district, a system .of squares
and parkways. To get a similar
system, the average large city of to-
day would have to invest many mil-
lions of dollars in private owned,
high-priced property.
Grand boulevard in Detroit repre-
sents an investment of a little less
than $3,000,000. Within the square
enclosed by that circuitous boule-
vard, Detroit has been engaged in
a high-speed paving program. Ex-
clusive of boulevards, there are al-
most 600 miles of paved streets.
The city has a municipal asphalt
•plant that is working continuously.
In 1913, $1,000,000 worth of paving
\vas done. In 1914 that amount
was doubled. Last year the pro-
gram was doubled again.
Detroit is building up industry.
It is building up commerce. But of
first importance as a lesson in big-
city methods, 1 regard the lesson
taught by its street and boulevard
system. It is such a system as will
enable healthy, intelligent growth.
raeli be brought out than ill the fol-
lowing passage by the author :
"Gladstone teas handsome in his
youth, gracious ill his old age. I le
was always very attractive and com-
manding. It is said of him that he
could dominate a situation with a
glance of his piercing eye. Frank,
virile, energetic and an eloquent
speaker, acquitting himself with
credit and distinction ill almost any
role assigned to him, he makes,
upon the whole, a figure most cap-
tivating. Disraeli, shrewd, keen,
witty, brilliant, tactful, wise, talka-
tive when necessary and silent as
a sphinx when occasion demanded
it--4elling no one of the real plans
that he had in his brain, was the
creator of the roles written by him'
self and enacted by himself.
"Disraeli was at his best in inter-
national affairs and diplomacy ;
( ;ladstone, in national and home
affairs. A man of common sense,
methodical and energetic as Glad-
stone was, economic and home (Ines-,
Lions appealed to him most. These
matters he could grasp lie.st.
Worldly, roulade dreamer that
Disraeli was, he grasped interna-
tional affairs best, and diplomacy
\vas naturally to his best liking."
Or can the following thoughts
concerning the unification of Italy
be couched in language more pic-
turesque and expressive?
".\ little over half a century ago,
a beautiful peninsular, encircled by
boundaries 'traced by the finger of
God,' a land meant to be the home
of a great and powerful nation, 'lay
prostrate under the heel of a
foreign foe,' her people improver-
ished, her fields and plains, bloody
scenes of battle where brother was
arrived against brother, and con-
spiracy and civil war raging from
the Alps unto the foot of Sicily.
"A little over half a century has
passed, and behold the change!
This same once-unhappy peninsular
tecnns with ambition, commerce and
progress, Where once Was chaos,
now is order. ;\ nat i on has been
resurrected and a kingdom has been
established."
All true lovers of literature will
find Scraps and IIits a treat.
