§ 5. The statement prescribed by Section 4 of this Act shall be filed in duplicate in the office of the Secretary of State, on forms prescribed and furnished by the Secretary of State.

The Secretary of State shall also issue articles of incorporation to the incorporators, making a part of such articles a copy of all papers filed in his office, using for that purpose duplicate copies, if any, filed therein, authenticated under his signature and seal of the State. A copy of such articles of incorporation shall be prepared and filed by the Secretary of State in his office.
