read the most remarkable story of Capt.
Walter | Rand, one of Boston's best
known business men. It's story OF the
ups and downs in life, from poverty to
richness. from richness to poverty and
back again to the right side,
Capt. Rand was poor man, and went
travelling through European countries in
search of fortune. After years he land
ed on the Island of Ceylon, in India,
without a cent in his pocket. a friend not
in sight. and his courage gone. 1t was
in this condition of bemoaning his fate
that an old Hindoo gave him a Lucky
Stone, which Capt. Rand laughed at,
scoffed at, but the native declared it
would change his luck, and sure enough
it did. for within "a hours in sight was an
English steamer with several Bostonians
on board. touring the world, friends of
Capt. Rand. He piloted them through
the island, and advised them of the pur-
chase of precious stones, etc. He started
back with several hundred dollars in his
pocket and large supply of precious
stones. He landed in Paris, France,
and sold $I2. 600 of precious stones in 80
days. In London. Eng, he stopped two
weeks. and made 5000 almost in the
twinkle of an eye. Back to Boston he
came, and on fremont Street, under the
old Evans House, he opened store as a
dealer in precious stones and metals
This lasted only uLtil four years ago,
when he moved from Huntington Ave-
nue. to Hemenway Street and in moving
Capt. Rand lost his Lucky Stone. He
had thought little of it, and much less at
this loss, but the day following his hard
luck began. His business went to pieces.
He made bad strokes in business every
day; his loss in business swept away the
fortune he had previously made, and for
over three years bad luck was his. He
began hunting for his Lucky Stone, and
a short time ago he found it in vest in
a trunk slowed away in the cellar when
looking for some old clothes to wear in
working on his Ariz ona copper claims
From the minute he found il his luck
changed, and he has been since making
money once more.
Capt. Rand, in order to benefit fellow.
humanity, secured a limited number of
these precious Oriental Lucky Stones,
which he will distribute among fellow
Bostonians. These stones are valued at
a great deal more than he asks for them
as precious stones. He will send one to
any address on receipt of one dollar (SI).
This is true story. This is the only
real Hindoo Lucky Stone ever brought
to Boston. Its value you will have a
change to demonstrate. You can see
what it has been to Capt. Rand, and he
certainly will be blessed for his kindness
in securing a supply which he thinks
will bring luck to anyone possessing one.
Do not delay, but either call or send to
Capt. Rand this very day. He is now a
dealer in choice and precious stones and
gold and silver. Capt. Rand has. since
finding his Lucky Stone, been informed
that certain claims he had in Arizona are
filed with copper. and he has just bond
ed one to New York banking house for
$1,000. These claims, he thought, were
absolutely worthless.
He is located at I7oA fremont Street,
where he will be glad to see any who
will call on him, to whom he will verify
in writing the above, which is really the
most remarkable story every related of a
Bostonian who has lived in every part of
the globe. adv.jo
