This IS to give notice to the man with
a scheme promising big profits that I
shall be sat home" for the next three
months, and can be seer at n hour
OF the day or night. If the scheme
promises exta fine he may even call
onSunday, though of course shouldn't
want to actually close a deal with him
on that day. 1 am not particular as
to the nature of the scheme, nor the
amount of capital required, and if
elected on the board of directors 1
shall be perfectly satisfied. In con
nection with this I desire to submit
the following list of schemes in which
am at present interested, and to point
out the fact that each and every one
of them will make every investor a
wealthy man inside of a brief twelve
| months.
SCHEME No. This scheme origi-
mated in the brain of a young man
who let me in on the ground floor for
a quarter. The said quarter afterward
let him in on the second floor of a
Bowery lodging house. l. is to con
tract for the entire huckleberry crop
of America this summer at seven cents
a quart and raise the price to twenty.
Estimated crop. 98, 672, O4O quarts, net
profits, $780, 600. A clean, tidy bust
ness, with 10 tar or grease to soil your
hands, and quick returns on capital
invested. No politics or religion in it,
and the public must have huckleber-
ries, no matter what the price. Capt.
tai stock limited to $50, 900, and all
shares nonassessable. Apply at once.
All shareholders entitled to buckle
berries at contract price.
SCHEME No. 2.-The man who sub
mitted this scheme to me was a born
~inancier. He had just pawned a six
dollar ~overcoat for two dollars. It is
to buy 2O,O 600 acres of New Jersey
marsh lands and cultivate celery. The
title of the organization is to be "The
Great New Jersey Celery Growers
Association, Unlimited" Our capital
will be limited, but the growth of
celery will not. 1 had scarcely lent
him half a dollar to get to Newark on
when he made me president of the
organization. You can see for your
self what there is in it. Twenty thous,
and acres at two dollars per acre is
$40, 900. Each acre will raise sixty
dollars worth of celery, making the
seasons crop turn in 81, 200, 900. Say
it takes the $4,000 to pay for seed
and labor and sundries, and there is a
cool million to divide up among us.
Don't let this scheme get away from
you. Huckleberries may getsunburned
and the price come down, but celery
takes no risks, Certificates of shares
will be out next week, and you never
saw finer printing in colors.
SCHEME No. 3.-This scheme was
brought to me in a carpetbag, 1t was
the only thing in the bag. The origi-
nator wanted SO, 900 for it at first, but
dropped by slow degrees to seventy
five cents, at which figure I closed
with him with a great deal of enthusi-
asm. 1t is to form an organization to
be known as 1.-THE Great American
Matrimonial and Trust Guarantee
Company" A person, either male or
female. desiring to enter into the bliss
full bonds of wedlock, calls at the office
and leaves names and particulars and
pays a fee of $25 to 5000 to be guaran-
teed. No sparkling, no jealousy, noloss
of valuable time. Marriages brought
about within one hour if so desired.
Parties fterward supplied with money
for bridal tour and set up in house
keeping on the installment plan. Dis
positions positively guaranteed. No
fear Of marrying a drunkard or a
bleached blond. Mothers-in-law kept
at a safe distance. Every marriage
warranted for ten years if rules and
regulations are lived up to.
There are in the United States at
| this moment AIS, 24O manageable
young men and 947, 1862 manageable
girls. Make the average fee fifty dol
lars and you see what there is in it.
A dividend of at least 25 per cent. can
be declared every year. Keep your
eye on this scheme until you a I'M
load mining and railroad stocks and
come in out of the wet. Every couple
will naturally buy more or less buckle
berries and celery At the present
time | hold all the offices and am the
board of directors besides, but am
perfectly willing to divide up. Ger
tifcates of shares will be put at five
dollars each, so that all can invest.
Holders of fifty dollars worth of stock
