PLANT No. 2
The Plymouth
Motor Castings Company
within one year ha l - l>eeomo firmly established as a pro
ducer of tlu* finest quality of gray iron and semi-steel cast
ings that can l>e produced. They, now have over forty
customers, any and all of whom will vouch for the above
statement. Among them are numbered some of the best
concerns in their line. The company is constantly being
ottered desirable business, which tnev are comjtelled to
refuse until the balance of the equipment is installed ; they
can accept only such orders as their equipment can handle.
They have decided to EQITP IMMEDIATELY and TAKE
ON the business of the large concerns whQse daily re
quirements demand such equipment. They will also be
constantly adding more men to their payroll as the pat
terns air received, and working capital, to take care of the
increasing expense until the returns from collections will
take care of it. must be provided for.
They know' exactly what is requiredf w hat it will cost,
and what they can produce with it. The business is al
ready assured, amounting to several hundred thousand
dollars for 1017.
Their business forced them out of Plant No. 1, which
became too small, so they purchased land on trackage and
built plant No. 2. partially equipped and running, which
is 50x210 feet, with provisions made for doubling this
space, all of which is paid for with }>erfect title. They
have a business which will require the full 50x240 feet,
and the equipment which they are purchasing is for the
full space, with a duplicate cupola of 10-ton |*»r hour ca
pacity, additional core-room and ovens and cleaning room.
They make castings for aeroplanes, marine engines,
motors, trucks, tractors, automobiles (gasoline, electric
and steam), auto accessories, plumbing supplies, grain sep
erators, cream separators, special machinery; for the
highest and !>est class of machine shops, difficult and in
tricate castings, castings made to chemical analyses and
mechanical construction.

Quality and delivery guaranteed. They have a foun
dry right here at homo that has long been needed and
they deliver by truck in Detroit every day.
The greater portion of the castings used in Detroit
are shipjied in and the most of these from outside the
state.
They are capitalized for $250,000. The maximum
amount of stock_thiit_vviil_be outstanding, as is now esti
mated. when all the capital required to accomplish the
aliove purjxise is secured, is $150,000. The stock being
offered, sold and remaining, is treasury stock.
Two thousand shares of common stock of a par value
of SIO.OO each, ful paid and non-assessable, is offered at
$12.00 j>or share.
The COMPANY’S BOOKS SHOW that the NET
PROFITS NOW. if paid in dividends, would make the
stock WORTH MORE than is asked. When the equip
ment is installed and operating, which this capital will pay
for. and also its proportion of increased expense, the Com
pany’s books will show that the next issue will be WORTH
far more and the price will be fixed accordingly. The
first issue sold at par. SIO.OO. this issue is $12.00, and the
next issue will be much more.
The plan has been and is to sell the stock on a basis
of what the books show it i- worth AT THE TIME OF
OFFERING the issue to the public, NOT on any future
prospective value which the added equipment this money
will purchase, makes, by turning out the greater-volume
of business.
They have succeeded, they"are making profits every
working day.
This stock has mot the requirements of the laws of
the State of Michigan.
The Corporation’s Business Headquarters are at Nos.
