Nothing succeeds like success,

accomplished on the turf, before the

have been disposed in the past to
adversely criticise their methods

but they have gone Oh in the even
teIlor OF their way and have forced
the people to acknowledge in spite
OF themselves that this firm has
proven itself worthy of the conf

We are creditably informed by

that this firm has ayallable

who know it all, the Arnold Racing
Stables, under the management OF
Mr.. E. J. Arnold, has pursued the
even tenor Of its ways into the con-
idence of the people to their profit
and satisfaction, and it stands to-
day prominently the Turf Invest
mert Company of America. Over
four years ago, when this PROPOSE
ton was launched, there were no
Turf Investment Companies or
firms in existence, SO far as we
knew or heard of, but no sooner
had we demonstrated that such a
business could be made profitable;
and by strictly fulfilling OUT every
promise and agreement, gained the
confidence of the public, than a
horde Of imitators sprang into ex-
istence, flooding the country with
literature written along the lines
Of that which we were issuing, and
promising enormous dividends i'm
possible to earn. Nearly all of
these concerns have been but short
lived, and have failed, to the loss
of their patrons money and the
discredit of all such institutions,
ours as well. I" is with great pride,
therefore, that We can publicly as
sert that during over four years of
our business existence there has
never been a single week in which
We failed to pay the dividend as
agreed on all the money intrusted
to us, and this has been uniformly
OF an amount larger than that of
any other safe dividend paying in
stitution in the country. And,
furthermore, we have never failed
to return the full amount of anyi
subscribers deposit whenever it,
has been asked for.
Bear in mind that the Arnold
Stables are not to be COMPOUNDED
with any get rich quick scheme,
but that it is a business, bona tide
and legitimate, and has the endorse
ment OF every n in a position to
know of its character. The capitaI|
