Wealth Easily Obtained.

Jay Gould, combining vast amounts
of money with several great capitalists,
has frequently made colossal profits III
stock speculations, paying millions to
each shareholder. The new comoina-
ton plan of Messrs. Lawrence " Co.
confers similar benefits on the share
holders who invest small and large
amounts, from $25 to $1,000. The
money of thousands of customers is
thus massed in one mighty sum, and
operated with the ripest experience
and best skill, has secured the most
brilliant successes. A hotel keeper in
Ohio invested 800 in combination,
which netted $478. Three reinvest-
ments resulted in total profit of $13,-
SOILS. A Boston gentleman invested
$500 in combination, which yielded
a profit of $2.8l7. 04; two reinvestments
netted him $3,644.31. A Chicago mer-
