We hare selected Bow Island as the most suitable erect our mill for two reasons: discovered near the place in ehormous quantities. A First. NATURAL GAS One well is the second largest in the world and has-a flow sufficient to produce 35,000 horse power constantly. We have arranged to moment. Compare secure & supply sufficient to produce 100 horse power for $1.05 per day of 10 hours. id with mills at Lethbridge 1 and other places Consider this for a where fuel costs from $18.00 to $20.00 per 100 horse power per day--it means a Fors SAVING TO THE Ep EE SAURLDEES of at least $17.00 PER DA Another reason oe selecting Bow Island is that it is in the centre of our chain elevators and is the largest grain producin centre between Taber and Medicine Bathe Hi ¥ il building the mi joining our elevator we will be able to handle the grain into the mill in the most economical manner. ESTIMATED PROFITS To those who are not familiar with the Elevator and Milling business, let us give a few conservative figures: A 30,000 bushel elevator will easily handle 150,000 bushels of grain during a sea- ~ son. The usual charge for handling the grain and loading into ears, including storage for 15 days is 2 cents per bushel, which_ will produce a revenue of $3,000 for each elevator, or $15,000 for the five. cent per bushel per month and as The charge for elevator storage is three-fourths of a as many farmers hold their grain until the following Spring the elevators are always full all Winter. Figuri- z three m onths' storage, that will produce a further rov- epue of at least $3. 000, which brings the total earnings to $16,000. _ The annual operating expenses cannot by any possible combin- ation of circumstances exceed $4,750.00 for the five elevators, leav- ing us a net balance of $13,750.00. Our mill, with a capacity of 100 barrels per day and with flour selling at from $2.60 to $3.25 per hundred, and middlings at 75 cents per hundred, will, with wheat selling at 80 cents per bush- el, give us a revenue of $63.00 per day; from which deduct $19.- 00 per day for operating expenses and we have a 'net income of $44.00 per day, or over $14,000 per year. Our total net earnings will enable us, after setting aside a sum for sinking fund, to pay a 25 per cent. dividend on the cap ital. 'We will always be able to keep our mill running at its full ca pacity; the mills in Lethbridge are running, day and night full ca- pacity and are behind with their orders. Don't forget that we have NO COMPETITION. There is not an clevatér cr a mill in the territory we are operating in, and with' the majority of the. farmers giving us their support through being s our success is assured. 4 With clevators and mills earning euch it any v:ndér that shares in companies only two years old, which Tis. was paid at formation, Elevator and milling shares are as safe as much greater returns.
