THE WASHINGTON LIBRARY COMPANY AND
THE RIVERSIDE INSTITUTE. plan adopted
by the Washington Library Company for rails
ing the necessary funds for the endowment ofthe
Riverside Institute is.one not only most liberal
ana generous In all Its particulars, but has also
received the sanction of eminent legal autho-
rity, and is being conducted in strict accordance
with the terms of the charter granted by the
Legislature to the Washington Library Com
pany. This charter allows them the privilege
Of working under the plan which they have
adopted. The Company have issued stock which
they sell at one dollar per share, each share en-
titling the purchaser to one fine steel-plate en-
craving, which, at retail, could not be bought
for less than one dollar and half. To those
who purchase two, three, four, or five shares Of
stock, other engravings are given, each of which
is worth fifty per cent more than the price Of
the stock. In addition to this, each share Of
stock guarantees one present in the great dis
tribution which comes. off in September. The
aggregate value of these presents is $500 OO0
there being one worth 1000; one worth S2O,OOO
one worth $4,000; one worth $1,000; two worth
S2500 each; several worth $1,000 each, and so on
to the end of the list. The plan thus far has
met with the greatest encouragement, and from
quarters where least expected. 1t enables all
to aid in rearing one Of the noblest monuments
that can be erected to the memory of our de-
ceased soldiers and sailors, while, at the same
time every one who contributes towards the
grand work not only receives for certainty
more than the value Of his money, but stands
his chance, with the other stockholders, of
being awarded some of the most valuable of the
presents offered. Many may express wonder
and surprise as to how the Washington Library
can be so extraordinarily liberal and generous
towards those who aid them In their great en-
terprise. The Company are able to fulfil all
they promise, from the simple fact that they
have made O binding contract with the pub
Usher of these engravings for many thousand
copies. Taking a large number in this way, the
price per single copy is, OF course, greatly re-
duced, and consequently the same engraving
which is retailed at many stores in this city for
eight dollars, the Washington Library Company
can present to the purchaser of five shares of
stock, costing five dollars, with a good profit
left to the Institute. The $4,000 worth of pre-
sents to be awarded have also been obtained in
the same manner Having purchased every
thing in the largest possible quantities, the cost
is, Of course, much reduced, while to buy one Of
the same articles at retail would require fifty
per cent more cash than is necessary to invest
with the Washington Library Company.
