THE FACTS AND FIGURES HAVE BEEN CALCULATED! NOW. Irs THE TIME FOR R.G. REYNOLDS ENTERPRISES TO COME OUT AND TELL IT LIKE IT IS. Fast action, 0.0 you know any broker, banker, or attorney who has made every client a minimum of 48% return on his money low rate for a period of 2 to 3 years straight? R.G. Reynolds clients do! R.G. IS SLOWING THE BULLS AND QUIETING THE TALKERS. carl
In 1982 and early 1983. R.G. Reynolds sought to fi nd 50 so-called "ordinary working people" for the purpose of helping them make the highest return possible on their investment capital. Each person was asked if a return of 35% over a 12-month period would be acceptable. even if it meant investing in Yo Yo·s. Mexican Jumping Beans. or Toothpicks. Or in other words, was the type of investment of great concern. or was the amount of return on their investment the primary factor? Only those people who chose profitability were taken on as a client. There were two promises made at that point. First. R.G. personally invested in every program he recommended. This was done because he believes that true integrity is demonstrated best by those who are willing to "put their money where their mouth is." If your representative doesn't personally buy what he recommends. what does he tell you? Second. if at the end of the first year the investors had not realized at least 30% on their investment capital. th ey wouldn't have to fire R.G. because he'd fire himself! The bottom line? All of the 50 clients who participated made at least 48% on their money in any 12 month period! We challenge anyone to match or beat this proven track record. On January 7. 1985, R.G. Reynolds Enterprises was created to expand on th e policy of helping hard working people make appreciable money regardless of the investment vehicles. How would you like to be one of the 50 people in the story you have just read? It takes fi nding the right people who Select your new car can lead you to the proper vehicles And most important. you must be willing to discuss any investment package we send you with an open mind. Think you qualify? If so, contact Annie Lo or write. But pl ease, only respond if you are serious.
