CLAMS
A careful and thorough investigation of the possibilities of engaging profitably in the bus
iness of canning clams has convinced us that the proposition is sound and offers excellent re
turns on a moderate investment.
To that end we have decided to organize a Company to be known as the Alaska Packing
Company with a capital stock of $30,000, consisting of 3000 shares of the par value of $10.00
each of which 2000 shares will be treasury stock.
The object of the Company will be the canning and packing of all the sea products of
Prince William Sound, but the principal product canned will be the clam, of which there is
a great abundance.
Before taking the proposition outside where capital can always be raised for anything of
merit, we offer the people of Valdez 1000 shares at par, payable as follows:
25 per cent on Application;
25 per cent on July 1, 1916;
25 per cent on August 1, 1916;
25 per cent on September 1, 1916.
Stock to be issued when final payment is made. Applications for stock will be received at
the office of the Company over the Owl Drug Store at any time before June 1st.
Subscription to this stock is not in any sense a gamble and should not be confused with
mining stocks which generally result in either big returns or a total loss of the amount in
vested. ,
We offer a sound investment which promises good returns at once with possibilities that
are unlimited. This is the great opportunity to keep here in Valdez some of the money which
is taken out of the country every year by the various packers who finance their propositions
outside.
It is a well-known fact that the profits from the sea products of Alaska are enormous,
and equally well known that they are principally reaped by people who have never set foot
on Alaskan soil.
<. We believe this'is the best bona fide investment that has ever been offered to the public,
1 and that from this modest beginning we will build up a great big business in all the sea prod
ucts of Prince William Sound, and that money that would otherwise go to the States will be
kept right here in Valdez.
Come in and investigate. We will gladly go over our figures with any one, and if you are
not convinced as we have been convinced that this is a sure, safe apd sound investment, we do
not want you to subscribe.
