LITERARY REVOLUTION SAVINGS-BOND.
One year after date The Alden Publishing Co. will pay to the order of _____________ _____________ the sum of Ten Dollars, at the Importers’ and Traders’ National Bank, 247 Broadway, New York.
These bonds are negotiable and are sold to the patrons of The Literary Revolution at par. The object is to afford a practical system of co-operation by which buyers of books may get them at cost of manufacture and handling. The use of the money one year is more than sufficient time to print, bind and market a paying edition of an average book. The investor gets for the use of his money 16 per cent. per annum, payable in books (see coupon); he also gets an option of purchase (see coupon) which, if he avails himself of it, will, with the 16 per cent., earn and save him at the rate of about 60 per cent. per annum (see Stockholders’ Prices), on his $10 investment. These bonds are issued in amounts to suit the purchaser, not less than $10; they are also made payable, if desired, in Six months, or Three months, the coupon being reduced pro rata with the time.
Dated at the office of the Company, 393 Pearl St., New York, this ____ day of __________ 188__. THE ALDEN PUBLISHING CO., President.
