Only thru us can you obtain the license to manufacture this wonderful patent in Great Britain and thru us we offer the unusual opportunity to be one of the first in your field. A British company have had their engineers investigate the value of our patents for the past three months and have notified us that it is all that it is represented and acceptable to them. License to manufacture on a royalty basis will be issued by us to a few reliable firms in Great Britain and we offer you the opportunity to get your share. And further, if you wish, we will sell a few shares of our stock at par, which is another opportunity to be connected with a large International company as well as being a manufacture of a wonderful motor that will be in great demand throughout the world. If interested, we would be pleased to hear from you. if not we will be pleased to hear from you just the same, so that we can offer and give another the opportunity we offer you.
