The talking machine world (Jan-Dec 1906)

34 THE TALKING MACHINE WORLD. 4%-PAID EACH MONTH-4% As sure as the dividends on Government bonds ; six times as often and 25 times as much ! The amazing thing is the certainty of it. The more yoii look into it the more clearly you will see that the proposition is based on demonstrated facts. We welcome the closest scrutin3^ We urge you to dig to the bottom of every phase of this proposition before you invest. There is nothing to guess at. There is nothing to take for granted. But as surely as you do look into it, just so sure will you be that our statement of 4 per cent, each month — PAID EACH MONTH — is far below what the company will really do. That is what surprises and delights the business men wdio look into this matter. The shrewder they are as investors, tlie better they understand what profits are now being made in certain absolvitely legitimate lines, the more certain they are to take stock in THE MVLTIPHONE, That Musica^I Ma^rvel THE MULTIPHONE is something new and novel. The music it makes is a revelation — rich, sweet and with a tone volume that is unapproached. There is nothing like it anywhere, nothing to compare with it, nothing to compete with it. In construction it is a monument of simplicit>-. A large magazine wheel carries twentj'-four phonographic records, any one of which ma}' be reproduced at the will of the operator. A nickel starts it. It has an accurate register for recording the number of nickels taken. The power is from a spring motor. One winding is sufficient to reproduce 18 records. The public does the winding, so there is no expense for power. In appearance striking and unique, it is the crowning triumph of music producing irstruments. A massive and magnificent cabinet, standing six feet high and three feet wide, in general design like an old fashioned harpsichord, finished in antique bronze or built of genuine San Domingo solid mahogany. The front and sides are of French beveled plate glass, exposing the mechanism to full view. SMALL CAPITAL Here is a New York company (capital only $1(111,(1110) that is doing business now, that is making money now, that is paying dividends (from its earnings) of 4 percent, a month now. Multiphones are being built as fast as facilities permit. COST AND RETURNS $10U will liny one share, paying $-1 monthly at least. $L'(iO will Iniy two shares, paying $3 monthly at least. $50(1 will buy five shares, paying $J0 monthly at least. $1,0(10 will buy ten shares, paying $40 monthly at least. THE MULTIPHONE Checks, moneys orders or drafts should be made out to EARNING CAPACITY The actual average earnings of seven instruments we have had in operation as a test for about one year have been at the rate per instrument of $501.00 Per cent, for location privilege.$100.00 Cost of records, 2% per cent. of intake 12M Cost of attention, repairs, &c. 25.00 137.50 Net profit for instrument per year. .$.363.50 The operating profits are so large as to startle one accustomed to receive the rates usually paid for money invested. The returns are immediate. There is no preliminary period of non-productiveness ncr r.mning expenses to absorb capital. There is no uncertainty as to cost of production. It is definitely fixed. Each Multiphone is valued at cost. $250. <iO, and its proved net earnings are over one hundred per cent, per annum, fifty per cent, of which is paid to the investor and fif:y per cent, to the company, who, by reason of this arrangement, give all services without emolument. For every $500 invested two additional instruments are completed and put to earning dividends. NO SALARIES Piactically every penny^ earned is available for dividends, for there are no salaries; there are no expenses ; there are no leaks. You couldn't think out a cleaner, squarer, more attractive business. The patrons are pleased, the company is pleased, the public is pleased. LITTLE STOCK FOR SALE Only a small amount of stock is for sale. Only a small amount will ever be for sale. Not a share of it has been sold under par — $100. If you care to get in on the ground floor of the richest, juiciest business chance that ever came your way — look into this one. We don't want a cent from a blindfolded man — the further back you are from Missouri the better we will like it.
