On Your Money , The question of fuel, especially coal and wood, for household and commercial use is proving a serious problem, as has been demonstrated by the prices on coal during the past winter-and as there is no hope of coal ever again reaching as Iowa price as it was in the past, exhaustive experiments have been carried on during the past four years, to produce a fuel that would take the place of coal, wood, oil and gas, with the result that there has been formed THE ILLINOIS PEAT FUEL COMPANY, who have secured from the United States Peat Fuel Company, the exclusive rights to manufacture in the State of Illinois PEAT BRIQUETTES, which are conceded by the best authority in the world to be the BEST FUEL ON EARTH, doing all that coal, wood, oil or gas will do, at a less cost, with none of the disagreeable features that these fuels have, as Peat Briquettes give an intense heat with a clear white flame, ignite easily, burn completely, are easy to regulate, have no soot, smok~ or harmful gases and very little ash. PEAT BRIQUETTES weigh within 10 per cent. of the weight of anthra.cite coal and will generate more \'e 111 steam or furnish more heat per ton than the best anthracite coal. ~on th, In comparison with bituminous or soft coal, one ton of Peat Briquettes will equal nearly 2 ~ TO 3 TONS OF THE BEST SOFT COAL in the generation of steam, or for any commercial or household use. s THE ILLINOIS PEAT FUEL COMPANY are now building their first machines and will erect their first plant very soon and the directors have decided to offer the FIRST BLOCK OF STOCK AT 25 CENTS PER SHARE, par value $1.00 per share fully paid and non assessable, and as one plant having a capacity of 200 tons per day will enable the Company to pay 12~ PER CENT. DIVIDENDS on the par value of the stock, or 50 per cent. ON THE PRESENT SELLING PRICE, you can readily see what this stock will earn when 5 to 10 plants are in operation. ,s, THE OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS of The Illinois Peat Fuel Company are composed of some of the rtis ; in leading business men of Chicago, who went into the Company after spending months investigating it i the United States Peat Fuel Co.'s patents for the manufacture of Peat Briquettes, which are con ;ion seel ceded to be far superior to the German, or any other process, which should prove to you that this [t i enterprise is exactly what is claimed for it and is worthy of your careful consideration as a safe investment and one which will pay large. returns on your money. lOra titu )Ht€ As the first block placed on the market at 25 cents per share will only last a short time, it is advisable rity for you to make your application at once, if you desire to secure stock at this low price. • Send For Full Information no th, ROANOKE INVESTMENT COMPANY s ; lUe] 109 Hartford Building, CHICAGO, ILL.
