The inventor spent the winters of 1910 to 1916 on the trails of the Alaska Yukon, where tests of snow condiâ€" tions were made, and the basic laws of transport over snow were definitely désermined, and returning to Seattle in 1916, the AUTOSLEIGH was designed to meet these laws. Patents were applied for, and the first AUTOâ€" SLEIGH was built in 1917 and 1918, when the Motor Transport Engineers of the United States War Department heard of the AUTOSLEIGH and immediately called the inventor to Washington and placed him in charge of a group of enginsers with instructions to complete the detailed drawings, with a view of supplying AUTOSLEIGHS Complets drawings of the AUTOSLEIGH, showing details of every part, ma i § 3 , may be seen at our offi immi Ont.. and a full sized model AUTOSLEIGH will be operated during this winter in the vicinity of thecinlilxllix'f;mcf;n;s’ of Northern Ontario. Those who have the means of travelling over to the unexplored North have the first chance at the naturali resources, and ANY THINKING MAN KNOWS WHAT THIS MEANS, The dog must give way to the gasoline engine on the snow and ite trails of Canada, to an even greater extenti; than the horse has on the wagon roads and paved highways. The AUTOSLEIGH is needed more in Canada than the Automobile ever was anywhere. There are well developed means of travelling in the air, on all conditi : » nditions of land, and on and under th but the AUTOSLEIGH is the first machine to successfully travel ov i i . n <"eeds of the present time. * er natural snow, which is one of the greatest It is only commonsense to realize that a Company which can furnish wiiter transportation at a low cost to people who heretofore have been practically shut off for six months in the year, will be overwhelmed with busiâ€" ness. Ore transportation, the Mail Service, the Mounted Police, etc., need such services as the AUTOSLEIGH can give, also express of all kinds, general merchandise, the fur business, besides, of course, the passenger traffic. To the man who has not travelled over the vast expanses of territory in CUanada the great distances and treâ€" mendous need for the AUTOSLEIGH are probably not apparent. Let it be sufficient to say that in the above territory there is immediately available, at a conservative estimate, over a million mileés of trail travel per winter, without counting new developments that are sure to come wilh a practical means of travel to open up the vast almost unexplored regions that are under snow for five months in the year. Many parts of the North country are practically inaccessible in summer because of the large areas of tundra, muskeg, and innumerable lakes and rivers. When these are frozen over, very great territories for AUTOSLEIGH transportation open tup. The AUTOSLEIGH will travel several miles per hour,.carrying a load that will correspond with the density of the snow. The track made by the AUTOSLEIGH in normal snow is about the same depth as the snow shoe tracks made by the average man on medium sized snow shoes. This Company has been formed to promote the manufacturing and selling of AUTOSLEIGHS, invented by its Viceâ€"President and Managing Director, Mr. F. G. Horner. The AUTOSLEIGH is designed for use in localities where settlements are far apart and where the traffic does not justify the cost of ploughing roads for teams.

Every great invention, without exception, has been financed by the sale of shares to the small investor, and those that went in at the start often received a small fortune in return for a small investment. $250,000 of Preferred shares are offered to the public at par, with a bonus of Common shares as follows: With each 4 (four) shares ($25.00 each) Preferred bought, 1 (one) share of Common ($25.00) will be given as bonus. The Preferred shares are entitled to nonâ€"cumulative dividends out of the net earnings of the Company before dividends are paid upon the Common shares, to the extent of 8% per annum, after which the Common shares reâ€" ceive 8%, and any further dividends during any one year are equally divided between the Preferred and Common shares. There were issued to the Alaska Autosleigh Company,a corporation of Seattle, Wash., as payment in full for the Canadian patent rights, drawings of a complete AUTOSLEIGH, and other considerations as per agreements dated Sept. 5th, 1922, which may be seen at our office at Timmins, Ont.â€"$200,000. of Preferred shares and $550,â€" 000 of Common shares. There were also issued to the Autosleigh Finance Syndicate $17,500 Preferred and $42%,â€" 500 Common shares, for certain machinery, tools, jigs, dies, drawings, tracings and other benefits acquired under an agreement dated July 1921, which may also be seen at our offiice. The AUTOSLEIGH must be built of the strongest and lightest material and by expert mechanics in our own factory, where the material and work is constantly under the observation and control of the Company‘s engineers, and this issue of Treasury shares is being sold to finance the legitimate expenses of manufacturing AUTOâ€" SLEIGHS, Those who bought shares in the first automobile companies made immensée profits, yet the AUTOSLEIGH is a greater necessity than the automobile was, and we have basic patents that prevent any competition. The Company owns the Canadian patent rights which are s6 recorded in Ottawa, and the Canadian rights to any further improvements on the AUTOSLEIGH, or the machinery used in its construction that may be made at any time in the future by the inventor or the Alaska Autosleigh Company. The Company also owns one model AUTOSLEIGH which will be operated as stated above. Also drawings of the AUTOSLEIGH and its power plant, both of which have taken months of time and cost many thousands of dollars, having been done for the Alaska Autosleigh Company, in Detroit, by experienced automotive engineers, who are connected with wellâ€"known autoâ€" mobile companies, and under the direct supervision of the inventor who is now Chief Engineer of the Canadian Autosleigh Company, Limited. There are in the Treasury 21,360 shares Preferred, with a par value of $534,000,000.
