TWO OF OVER A ELM D0LL?ES A YEAR For the purpose of increasing tho cir culation of the New York Dally and Sun day Mercury, established 38 years ago, Hit Mercury Printing Co. offers the best In uuecment in the world to small Inventor ;. AJert investors now have an opportu nity to secure some of the stock of this great enterprise. They can buy New Xorjv Mercury stock at the very kw price ci ?lo per share. The Mercury Printing Company ls incorporated under the law? c: Uic biate ot New York. The capital is ??CO.???, divided into 50,000 shards of 510 each, lull paid and non-assessable. Stockhold ers have no Individual liability whatever, allis J tock ls a safe, solid and high: y prof itable- security that is certain to pay large dividends and rapidly increase in value. lt fives the small investor an equal chance with the capitalist:, as a person with a smail sum to invtat can buy from one share upward at the same price a capital ist buys thousands ol shares. When one considers the very high prices that stock in other New Ycrk newspapers com mands, it is apparent that this present opportunity to buy New York Mercury stock at $10 is one of those chances that occur only once in a lifetime, for at the present rate of increase shown in the past six months In the circulation and In the advertising, the stock is absolut el v sure to pay enormous dividends and rapidly rise in value. The advertising receipts of the Mijrcurj have doubled since Aug. 1, 1895, and the circulation has Increased at the rate ol 150 per cent since April 1, 1895, on the Daily, Weekly and Sunday editions, and Is ccntinuing to increase at the same rate We will send one copy of the Daily and Sunday Mercury free to e ery iihare holder as long as the stock is held by him or his assigns. For example, if a subscriber purchases ten abaros of stock he will be entitled to ten copies of the Cally and Sunday Mercury free to his cwn or any other address as long as lie continues to be a stockholder of the cor f<c-r^tlon. These copies of the paper may be disposed of by subscribers to the capi tal stock In any way desired by them. There will be only a limited amount of this stock disposed of in this way. Those who are lucky enough to obtain these ?hares will find that in a very short time they will be worth 300 per cent, premium. For further particulars nddres? th?
