Detroit Citizens Eagerly Buying

New York Bus-Line--the Model for
Detroit's System--Tremendously
Popular and Tremendously
Profitable—Stock Subscriptions
Here Opened Friday

Almost Everyone Who Investigates Detroit Motorbus
Project Immediately Becomes Stockholder in New
People's Company--Small Investors Are Favored.

Books of the Detroit Motorbus Company did
not open until Friday for stock subscription.
In spite of that fact, hundreds of Detroit
people had sent in their applications for stock
before that day.

Scores of those who have come in to find out
about the company have subscribed on the
spot.

SEE FUTURE PROFITS;
BUY STOCK NOW

Detroit people see in the Detroit Motorbus
Company a tremendously successful trans-
portation system....„:

They see fine future profits for themselves
over and above the comfortable transporta-
tion they will enjoy.

They know that the motorbus system in New
York is a wonderful money-maker.

They realize that neither surface lines nor
subways can interfere with the success of the
ten-cent motorbus in Detroit.

So they are taking no chances of not getting
Detroit Motorbus stock.

BOOKS OPEN TODAY
FOR STOCK SUBSCRIPTIONS

Friday the books were officially open. See
that your application is filed without delay.
P ar value of shares, $10. All common. No
bonds. No preferred. Authorized capital,
$1,500,000.

In the light of motorbus history, there is
every reason in the world to expect the De-
troit system to succeed from the very first,
and to make money for its stockholders.

In New York 250 buses carry 36,000,000 pas-
sengers per year.

Stock of this system has sold at double its par
value while paying 10 per cent dividends.

Even with dividends suspended during the
war, buyers offered a price 50 per cent higher
than par.

In London the motorbus company paid, even
during the war, more than $1,000,000 annually
on its $17,000,000 securities — close to 6 per
cent.

SUCCESS OF BUSES
IN DETROIT ASSURED •

Detroit will support and patronize its motor-
bus system as eagerly and continuously as
New York does.

We know this will be so, because of transpor-
tation conditions here, and because of the
way people feel about public transportation
in this city.

That means that the success of the system is
assured—not by what we may say or do, but
by actual conditions as they exist today.

Facts are facts, and they cannot be escaped.
We are dealing in facts when we advise peo-
ple to buy Detroit Motorbus stock.

We particularly invite the man and project.
with $10 to $1,000 to come into this •project.
