| Iron the Daily S. f. Report.
The Original Little Louisiana Lot,
terry Company still keeps up its
reputation for honest dealing and
prompt payment OF .ne prizes won
at the regular monthly drawings.
San Francisco people were again
very fortunate at the drawing of
August z, 1888, and the numerous
holders of the winning tickets have
added their testimony to that of
hundreds of others as to the soliditv
of the company. 1t has been pre-
viously stated in these columns
that it is the custom Of the Original
Little Louisiana company to obtain
from holders OF the principal prizes
affidavits that they held the identical
tickets drawing the same, and that
they received the amounts won in
United States gold coin. These af-
fidavits, which are upon neatly
printed blanks, are filled in with
the name and residence of the win
ner, the sum OF money received,
the number of ticket and the ticket
itself is pasted upon the bottom Of
the paper. The bona fide signature
of the winner is attached, and all is
sworn to before Notary Public and
duly certified to. In this way there
can be no mistake and certainly no
Justification. The affidavits are
filed, those of each drawing being
kept in separate files, and they are
carefully preserved at the Office OF
the company for referance, and to
show to any skeptical person that
everything which the company has
undertaken is honestly carried out
to the letter.
RECENT LUCKY WINNERS.
And now as to some OF the lucky
winners in the drawing of the Origi-
nal Little Louisiana Company, held
August eth. The Daily Report
knows that they are all modest peo-
pie and are somewhat reticent
about having their suddenly ac-
quired wealth paraded before the
public. But the good name OF the
Original Little Louisiana Company |
must again be certified to and it |
cannot be done III any better way
than in stating who were the actual !.
winners of the prizes. First upon
the list is F. d. Perata, who keeps
the Six-Miie House, on the San
Bruno road, a noted caravansary.
He is the son of that well known
citizen and California Pioneer, VI.
Perata, who resides at the North
west corner of Union and Dupont
streets. F. III. Perata bought
large number of tickets for the use
OF his friends, and after distributing
the same, he had four small tickets
left. These he also offered to an
but, oh, no the man
did not believe in the honesty of
the thing, and said he would not
throw away the small sum of 25
cents each on the tickets.
PERATA WINS $3.50. Ii
every WE'LL" said Mr.. Perata,
'sI'll keep the tickets myself and
zee what they will do for me-" So
he put them into his vest-pocket :
and then forgot all about them. /,
About ten days after the drawing of ,
August Z, 1888, Mr.. Perata hap
pened to trust his thumb and fore
Finger into his vest pocket. He
Ielt the tickets and then remember
I'd all about the drawing. .sOfl

ion of looking over the winning
sumbers printed in my Daily Re-
port" Mr.. Perata did not have to
ook far. His non-expectant eye
