GLITTERING AS GOLD
Are the Promises of Prep0sterouS
Profits in Prospectus
BEING SENT TO PITTSRURGERs.
All the Way From 40 to IS Per Cent
Claimed to be Sure Thing.
NOT MUCH STOCK TAKEN HEREABOUTs

A number of well-known men in this city
and Allegheny have received some gilt
edged circulars from an Eastern city OF late
in regard to an investment that promises to
yield golden returns. The, contemplated
business is that of sheep raising. Among
other things the circulars say:
Some time ago we sent you prospectus of
our company. 1t Is quite likely that you threw
it carelessly aside. Your wastebasket became
its unhappy grave. Inherited nober end. 1t
meant to enl1ghten you in regard to one of the
best paying enterprises of our times. AS pro-
fessional man you can lay aside very little of
your salary for rainy day." A little NEST
egg" in savings bank yields only slight per
cent. But even few dollars invested with us
will start you toward the sunrise of prosperity.
This is not ''buncombe." 1t is solid sense. Our
prospectus states indisputable facts.
The sheep business is veritable gold mine
1t is perfectly safe, strictly legitimate and
non-speculatiye enterprise All money paid
for STOCK is at once invested in sheep. These
cost from 81 so to So % per head. The annual
expense is about 40 cents apiece. They yield
two-foid ingome-wooI and lambs A eve will
produce about 81 35 worth of wool in the spring
aud a lamb, worth So on the range, in tine fall.
Losses in western North Dakota are very
slight.
WONDERFUL PROFITS PROMISED.
In addition to the income from sheep the
company will profit by the increasing value of
its lands. With good management we will pay
semi fannual dividends of not less than 20 per
cent each. The stock is quite likely to yield rs
per cent per year. Dividends will be paid in
the spring when wool is sold, and in the fall
when lambs are marketed. Our hockS will
have the personal supervision of our Vice
n ahnpn ma n fnnU
director and an honored elder IN the Presby
terian Church. In the East the President and
Treasurer will carefully administer the affairs
OF the company. Our officers and directors are
all upright conservative business men. Their
connection with the company guarantees
success. They all stand ready to give any in-
formation desired
You can now purchase stock at IS 80 per
share. After December 25 the stock will posi-
lively be advanced to par. We will take your
subscription for five or more shares You can
pay for them in three monthly installments, if
you desire. All stock fully paid up by Decem-
Der 25 will share in the July dividend. Sub
scribe at once and get the benefit of the ad-
vance in stock, as well as the wool dividend in
July.
CONTENT TO REMAIN OUT.
One gentleman who received a copy of
this circular said yesterday: "This affair
looks decidedly woollv, to me. The officers
of this company seem to have great business
statements, and for my part, 1 do not know
of any capitalists about the country who
are taking the public in on the ground floor
of investments that promise to pay semi
annual dividends OF 20 per cen: each, while
the stock is liable to yield rs per cent more
per annum.
II think very well Of the American dollar,
but believe will try to get mine in some
other manner, for you know there comes
stages when a man can get too much Of a
good thing"
