 THIS COMPANY reserves the right to
issue the above named certificates at its
option, and when it cannot find profitable
use for the money to withdraw them from
sale.

THERE IS NO very profitable invest—
ment which is as safe as these interest
bearing certificates,

...As...

THE LOANS made by the Company
are in nearly every case to contract—
holders, who mortgage their homes to
secure loans. Therefore the incentive to
make prompt payment is strong, and de-
fault is very rare.

 WE OFFER A LIIVHTED AMOUNT OF

METROPOLITAN STREET RAILWAY COMPANY,
OF KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI,
Consolidated Mortgage Five Per Cent Bonds.

Both Principal and Interest Payable in Gold Coin of the United States of the present standard of
weight and fineness.
BONDS MAY BE REGISTERED.

Dated May 1,1895. Due May 1,1910. No Option. Trustee, Old Colony Trust Company, Boston.

These bonds are secured by mortgage on the entire Metropolitan Street Railway system, serving practically the entire
territory of Kansas City, Missouri, Kansas City, Kansas, and the surrounding suburbs containing a population of
over 200,000.

(In June 1, 1895, the Metropolitan Street Railway Company acquired the properties formerly owned by the Kansas City
Cable Railway Company, Grand Avenue Railway Company, Kansas City & Independence Rapid Transit Company,
West Side Railway Company, and also acquired the controlling interest in the stock of the Kansas City Elevated
Railway Company. The gross mileage of the combined systems is 134.95 miles of single track.

The Official Report and Balance Sheet of the. Company, dated June 1, 1896, show the following:

Capital Stock . . . . . . . . . $5,586,800
Bonds outstanding . . . . . . . . 7,519,000

EARNINGS AND EXPENSES.
Year ending June 1, 1895 :—

Surplus earnings . . . . . . $ 323,508.90
above does not include the earnings of the Kansas City Elevated Railway Company, the interest on whose bonds has
been guaranteed by the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. This guarantee is an obligation of the Company,
out not a lien.
Company has expended a large amount of money in the past year in improving, bettering and extending its system,
and it is expected by the officers that the result of these improvements will show increased earnings during the
ensuing year.

The Metropolitan Street Railway Company was organized in 1886 and the system has been successfully operated under the
present management for the past ten years, and has paid dividends 011 its capital stock every year, except one, since
its incorporation. The report of the Company shows payment of dividends for the fiscal year ending June 1, 1896,
amounting to $111,736, and the transference to surplus account of $151,934.06.

The topographical situation of Kansas City is particularly favorable for the development of a large street railway traffic, and
the city is now 011 a thoroughly substantial basis and its prospects for the future are most promising. The Company's fran-
chises are favorable in their terms and extend until 1925, or 15 years after the maturity of t/u's issue of bonds.

Considering the good physical condition of the property, its conservative management and occupation of all the available terri-
tory, we are satisfied that tile srnzrity back of these bands will steadily increase, and that the bonds themselves will Mllltllll‘é'
in valm’.

The bonds were purchased by us after a thorough investigation, and we recommend them as a safe and desirable investment.

The legality was passed upon by local attorneys and by Messrs. Seward, Guthrie, Morawetz & Steele, of New York City, whose
opinion will be furnished if desired.

Additional information furnished 011 application.

These bonds are offered on very attractive terms. Write or wire for price.

Dated November 18, 1892. Maturing serially, as indicated
hereafter. Principal and annual interest (July 15) payable at
the American Exchange National Bank of New York City, or
at the State Treasurer’s Office, Springfield, Illinois.
Denomination, $500.

True value of property, estimated ............ $3,850,000
Assessed valuation for taxation ............... 550,000
This issue is the only debt ................... 60,000
Population, 3,000.

These bonds were authorized by Drummer Township, Ford
County, Illinois, for the purpose of funding an original 6 per
cent. loan of 1882. The bonds were issued in accordance with
the well-known Illinois refunding act of 1879, under the
provisions of which the bonds have been registered by the
Auditor of Public Accounts. Taxes for the payment of
interest are levied and collected with State taxes, and are
turned over to the State Treasurer, by whom coupons are
paid, thus making them a quasi Slate oblige/ion.

Drummer Township is situated in the southwestern corner of
Ford County, less than thirty miles east of Bloomington.
The township includes Gibson City, and covers an area of
fifty-four square miles. Probably nowhere in Illinois is the
soil more fertile or farming lands more productive. Land in
Drummer Township readily sells at eighty dollars per acre,
and property in Gibson City is, of course, still more valuable.
The agricultural products of the township are easily marketed,
owing to the ample transportation facilities offered over the
\Vabash, the Illinois Central and the Lake Erie and \Vestern
railroads, which center at Gibson City.

These bonds are part of an issue of $273,000 four-and-a—half’s,

authorized for the. erection of a new court house at South
Bend. Prior to this issue of bonds the county's debt was
merely nominal, and even after the handsome edifice is
completed the total bonded debt of Saint Joseph County will be
[055 [/1021 one and out-sweat]; per [elztof 11/16 assessed valuation.
Saint Joseph County—one of the oldest and wealthiest counties
in Indiana—is situated in the north central part of the state,
immediately adjoining Michigan. Large manufacturing
interests at South Bend, however, have brought the county
into industrial importance, so that Saint Joseph County is
known quite as much for the variety and extent of its
manufactures as for its heavy harvests of corn and grain.
South Bend, the county seat, is a substantial city of about
30,000 inhabitants, only 86 miles east of Chicago. It is the
seat of the University of Notre Dame, probably the largest
Catholic educational institution in this country.
