1920. NEW ISSUE PUBLIC OFFERING 40,000 Shares The Ver-Vac Company im oni'itii 1 K.n Incorporated under the Laws of Maryland Par Value of Shares $10.00 NO PREFtRRHD STOCK NO BONDED INDEBTEDNESS Fully Paid and Non-Assessable Authorized Capitalization $500,000. ft NO BONDS VER-VAC COMPANY THE (Incorporated under the Laws of Maryland) THE VER-VAC COMPANY OF BALTIMORE was organized in the Fall of 1919 for the purpose of manufacturing the soft drink known as "VER-VAC." PRODUCT: VER-VAC is a non-alcoholic beverage, distinctive, refreshing, pleasant in taste and non-injurious. It is the result of years of effort and is today recognized by numerous bottlers and others familiar with its quality as being the most palatable cola drink on the market and since it has been offered the public, has met with instant success and popular approval. The VER-VAC COMPANY does not bottle its own product and not unlike other soft drink manufacturers, distributes its syrup in concentrated form to bottlers throughout the country who in turn distribute the bottled beverage.

It is also sold in concentrated form to druggists or wherever soft drinks are sold over the counter. VER-VAC is distributed by bottlers only under the name of VER-VAC and it is the intention of The VER-VAC COMPANY that all bottling concerns having the exclusive distribution, will be known as The VER-VAC BOTTLING COMPANY of their respective localities. PROPERTIES: The Company's plant is located at 111 South Gay Baltimore, and occupies the entire warehouse with floor space of over 12,000 square feet. The plant is fully equipped with new and modern machinery for the manufacturing of VER-VAC Syrup. The entire equipment is glass-lined throughout, of the most sanitary type, the system installed enabling the company to start its raw materials on the top floor of the building and gravitate through the various stages of manufacture to the first floor of the plant where it is ready for shipment, thereby reducing the cost of manufacturing to a miaintum expense.

9 PRODUCTION: The present capacity of the plant is 750,000 gallons of finished VER-VAC SYRUP annually and the demand for this beverage is far in excess of this capacity'owing to the increasing demand for a good soft drink, particularly since prohibition has become effective. MANAGEMENT is in the hands of efficient and capable executives with years of successful experience in this line. They are men of the highest calibre and will bear the closest investigation. IMPORTANT: We believe the investment possibilities of the VER-VAC COMPANY will strongly appeal to you whether or not you are familiar with the phenomenal success of concerns in the soft drink business and the large amount of money invested in this industry which has proven lucrative from every angle. We strongly recommend the purchase of these shares at once as it is our belief that developments in the Company will greatly enhance the value of VER-VAC stock.

We offer these shares when, if and as issued and received by us, subject to allotment at $10.00 PER SHARE RUTT-MURRAY CO. STOCKS AND BONDS Foreign Exchange N. W. COR. NINTH AND SHIPLEY STREETS.
