EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATIONS herein makes the most important announcement in the history of this magazine. "THE COMMONWEALTH," soon to be built in New York City, will be 28 stories high, contain 2,500 rooms and cost many millions of dollars. To be owned by 100,000 Educators and others. All Educators will be interested in the advance notice of their hotel-club, to be located in the very heart of New York City, in the Times Square district, one of the busiest spots on earth, With an enormous number of co-operating partners to draw from, the hotel will be kept filled---all the year round. Success is absolutely assured. Already we have many thousands of members in the Commonwealth---and we really are just starting. AN The distinctive feature of this enterprise is to be co-operation on a large scale by a multitude of owners, who are rapidly taking shares in the Common- EDUCATORS' wealth Corporation, thus guaranteeing the CLUB success of the hotel and its affiliated EDUCATORS' CLUB from the start. After your initial share-purchase, you have no club dues to pay, your membership being in reality a revenue producing asset. The new spirit of internationalism created by the war has prompted this, the first effort to form a club for the Educators of the World. All countries are to be represented in the membership. WHY HY shares in the Commonwealth Club-Hotel should pay adequate dividends, as well as up to 20% rebates to EDUCATORS' CLUB shareholders on their expenditures for food and lodging: 1. No interest to pay. 2. No rent to pay. 3. No carrying charges to pay on building. 4. Cost of getting hotel patronage (usually high) eliminated. IT HAS LONG been a question how Educators can best pool their interests. Obviously, it would require a long time to raise sufficient capital to build a Club House exclusively for the teaching profession, if indeed such a thing is at all feasible. Even so, the Commonwealth HotelClub being a cooperative, share-holding, mutual interest institution, on a gigantic scale, can offer accommodations far superior to any independent organization. It provides A SMALL, SAFE AND PROFITABLE INVESTMENT If you are awake to great opportunities when they come knocking at your door, you will seek enrollment in the EDUCATORS' CLUB as a Founder Member. Thus you will enjoy special membership privileges, and at the same time become a part-owner of the greatest hotel-club in the world, as illustrated herewith. NEW YORK "It is significant that New York's three newest large hotels, the McAlpin, the Belmont and the Biltmore, are all paying handsome dividends," says an article in the New York American. "The Belmont is said to earn forty per cent upon its stock, and the Biltmore a smaller return on a much larger capital. All the leading hotels have turned away applicants this Spring." HOTEL PROFITS A feature of the new hotel-club is that every membership share is to benefit the investor---under arrangements calculated to restrict these benefits and privileges to shareholders alone---as follows: Dividends of at least six per cent on each $100 Share, from net profits. Rebates up to 20 per cent to shareholders out of the annual net earnings, on all personal expenditures for food and lodging at the Commonwealth Hotel-Club during each fiscal year. Additional rebates up to 20 per cent to shareholders on all expenditures for food and lodging at the hotel and club made by any one who presents such shareholder's card of introduction.
