Chicago Herald-Examiner. Every dollar saved now will be worth two dollars in five years provided it is intelligently invested.

Intelligently invested 'means invested where it will be safe from loss; where it Will earn a fair interest or dividend rate each year, and where it will help produce USEFUL services or commodities. Invested in a PERMANENT, NECESSARY, PROSPEROUS, State-regulated public service business, with a long record of regular interest and dividend payments' in good and bad years alike, your SAVED DOLLAR will be SAFE FROM LOSS; its interest or dividend payments will come to you regularly, and it will be doing USEFUL. work for the community.

This stock has first claim on all dividend earnings up to 7 per cent each year, and shares equally with the common stock all dividends, paid over 10 per cent in any year.

Its dividends are payable April 15, July 15, October 15 and January 15. The Notes come due and will be paid off in cash March 1, 1925. Their 7 per cent irtferst is payable March 1 and September 1. In 50. days 800 Wisconsin men and women have bought over $500,000 of these securities.

If that happens which bankers believe will happen, five years will double the value, or buying power, of the dollars these investors have saved and put into this busi-ness. Their dollars gain in value may be less than 100 per cent. It may be as little as 25 per cent, or 5 per cent a year for five years. Even so, 5 per cent yearly gain in value, plus 7 per cent yearly interest or dividend payments, will give them a total increase of 12 per cent a year, or 60 per cent for five years.
