Texas Electric Service Co.
PREFERRED STOCK
Each Share Pays Nearly
A FEW months ago, we made an exceptional
offering to the customers and employes of
Texas Electric Service Co. and other local people.
We reasoned something like this: “Why not of-
fer the folks here at home an opportunity to be-
come partners in this Company ? They support the
Company and they should be the ones to share in
its success.
“Each share of its Preferred Stock represents a
share in the business. This stock is a safe invest-
ment, backed by modern properties of great value,
with proven earning power, devoted to useful pub-
lic service. So let us invite the customers and other
local folks to use, for the safe investment of their
savings, this great growing business which we
have built up. Let us also provide a way for peo-
ple to obtain the stock on an Easy-Payment Plan.”
The result was a success.
Many hundreds responded and purchased the
Company’s stock for cash and on the Easy-Pay-
ment Plan and are receiving their dividends reg-
ularly and promptly every three months. They
have found it to be the answer to “Where can I
put my money so that it will be safe and pay me a
good return?”
Because the Company is growing there is an op-
portunity for you to invest in its Preferred Stock.
In doing so you can be sure you are investing in a
business embodying most substantial protection as
to safety of principal and income.
What we have to offer is the very finest sort of
INVESTMENT. It is NOT a speculation or get-
rich-quick scheme. Each share of this stock repre-
sents an investment in actual property, such as
large modern power plants, sub-stations, transmis-
sion lines, etc., which can be readily seen daily.
This stocl^ is suited to you, particularly, because
it is free from City, County and State Taxes in
Texas and because you will be investing in a
HOME enterprise whose properties you can see
and whose growth and progress you can closely
follow.
So yiat EVERYONE may take advantage of
this opportunity, we have, in addition to the cash
plan of purchase, arranged an Easy-Payment Plan
and you can buy the stock on terms as low as
$10.00 a month.
H6re is a real opportunity. Take advantage of
it. Let your savings earn money for you. Invest
in a Company whose service is an every-day neces-
sity and get a dividend check every three months.
WHY THESE SHARES ARE BEING SOLD
Today,no community can progress without adequate electric service.
To provide for the comforts, conveniences and necessities which the
Company supplies to its customers, there is a constant need for ex-
tensions and improvements to the Company’s system. The funds
necessary to carry on this work must come from the sale of the
Company’s securities.
