Many people are aware that there is a
lottery drawn in Havana, Cuba, under
supervision Of the government and con-
trOlled by it. but those who know this TACT
are not all conversant with another fact,
and that is that based on the numbers
drawn therein is decided the Original
Little Havana Gould & Co.'s }, the prizes
occupying the same relative positions,
differing only as TO amount, as IN the
Original Havana. To investors IN THIS
class Of securities the Little Havana pre-
sauts an element Of chance which Is lack
ing in lottery schemes generally for the
reason that those who stand behind ltcan-
not control or manipulate (eVen IN case
thew were DESTROYS Of SO doing single
number, but are bound by the official list
of the ROYAL Havana, which decides their
money. This being the case only one
question arises, Is il reliably managed
and conducted and worthy the confidence
Of those who speculate! Investigation
and knowledge on this subject the result
of strict research and what we have seen,
enable Us to speak on this point. Inquiry
gave US the name Of friend, Mr.. X. I.
Brown. of this city. who had held the cap
ltal prize and was promptly paid; later,
OF the following parties, who had collected
large prizes:
J. de Rivera & Co., III Pearl street,
New York city: BloOmberg & Raphael, 81
Worth street. New York city; Eugene
Kelly & Co. A. Exchange place, New York
CITY: Park National Bank, New York citv;
Butchers and Drovers' National Bank,
New York city; Importers and Traders

chants National Bank, New York city;

ern Bank Of Georgia, Savannah, Ga;
Peoples Bank, New Orleans, La; Adams
Express Company. New York and Boston;

and Chicago.
Within two weeks we have personally
witnessed the payment Of $1,000 in cash
as the result of holding ticket No. 1921
/ in class ]. 100 of the Little Havana, decided
/ bv the ROYAL Of June IS A friend had the
/ ticket; we accompanied him and the
money was paid as promptly as If the
/ same was bank note, on presentation OF
/ the winning ticket. A representative Of
/ the general agents, Shipsey Company,
/ 1912 Broadway, New York city, paid the
/ money without any hesitation, saying:
/ 1--WE don't make such time as some peO-
/ pie do about these paym -nts, but your eX-
| perience is the same as that of all others
/ who have preceded You as holders OF win
| ming tickets. We do business only on the
| square, and prOmptness in every particu-
/ lar is our desire. One difficulty under
/ which we labor is that, while IN other lot
| teries there are usually 10000 numbers,
/ and consequently 100000 tickets, the one
we decide by seldom has more than %, 600.
| For this reason the prizes cannot be 50
/ large in amount; but when it is taken into
/ consideration that the chance OF drawing
/ the larger prizes are as i've to one In favor
/ OF the Little Havana, and that the parties
| in interest have no control over the num-
/ bers, it should commend itself as being
/ what it is claimed TO be, /. G., the fairest,
| squaTest and best thing in the nature Of
! chance in existence"
Our friend was happy. We are pleased
| to state the facts as they are. They at
| ford ground for reflection and cOnsidera-
/ ton to all who would WOO the Goddess of
/ Fortune"
