several times its present value.
This means that share of stock costing
$1,000 NOW will be worth $4,000 when stock
goes to four times par. Estimates show that
the Companys earnings will be 20 per cent, and
that is four times par, with every dollar in

This does not mean that the price of stock

IS THE SEAT OF OUR
NATIONS GOVERNMENT.

The eyes of the world are on Washington
One-third of WashingtOn's population is
Negro.
If all the Negroes in Washington were colon
lied in enc place they would make city larger
than Richmond, Virginia.
There are seven theatres in Washington
supported by a white population of 24I,Q23-
and a few foolish Negroes willing to be colon
lied in the galleries, the only place to which the
Negro is admitted
THERE IS NOT A SINGLE FIRST
CLASS OFFICE BUILDING in the city of
Washington, where a colored professional or
business man woman, and there are hun
dreds of them in the National Capital can OBJ
tain business quarters.
JUST THINK OF IT! 100000 enterprising,
thrifty, intelligent people, through race preiu-
dice, swept completely out of the business dis
trict of Washington; 100000 genteel, prosper
Gus, amusement loving people deprived of
every form Of theatrical entertainment unless
willing to submit to the most humiliating con-
ditions
Every colored man and woman IN Wash
ington.
Every colored man and woman VISITING
Washington.
Every colored man and woman in America,
familiar with the true state of the Negro in
Washington, realizes that theatre, store, and
Office building, operated by the Negroes, for the
Negroes, is A NECESSITY
The welfare of the race demands it.
The self-respect of the race demands it,
ANY enterprise resting its hope of success
upon NECESSITY is bound to be a Sue
CESS.
A THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING
IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by
Negroes for the use of Negroes, is a NECES-
SITY
Approaching to the utmost that fact
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY proposes to erect in the Central
Business District of the city of Washington a
magnificent theatre, seating capacity $500, and
store and office building of splendid proper
ton, adequate IN every respect to meet the re-
quirements of prosperous professional and busi-
ness men.
The enterprise is exceptional in two respects:
First-It is absolutely safe
Second-It promises enormous possibilities
a money maker.
Features that must appeal to every man or
woman with few dollars to invest. and Won
are such a man or woman or you would not
have read this far.
THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILD
ING COMPANY has surveyed the field care
fully, and it KNOWS that hundreds of tenants
are available for the offices, that dozens of
merchants are ready to rent the stores. and
that 100000 people are anxious to patronize
the theatre exclusively, and make it the best
The Washington bee., 1909-12-25

1t will also have a theatre, which, if patron
lied at prices ranging from 10 to so cents, by
only per cent of the total colored population
OF the city Of Washington, will enable the Com
pany to pay IS per cent on its total capitaliza-
ton. Equal in all to 20 QUO per cent, to which
may be added the land value increase Of $50
per cent.
Now, all this is Conservatively Estimated.
Banks and Insurance Companies engage in
enterprises like this with their depositors' and
policyholders' money-YOUR money but

Some women were discussing over
their afternoon tea the statement that
a man is no more a hero to his wife
than to his valet. There seemed to
be no opposition to he idea that a
mans servant did not appreciate him,
but all stoutly maintained that their
husbands were heroic-in one way or
another.
"My husband is very heroic said
Mrs. Black. For instance, he will
give up his visit to the club to play
jack straws with my old mother. and
she is his mother-in-law, you know"
II think I can beat that" remarked
Mrs. Gray. when my milliner's quar-
terly bill comes in my husband smiles
as he writes a check, and never thinks
of looking at the items"
Il caR give you a better example
thar either of those" exclaimed Mrs.
White. when the morning paper
comes at breakfast time, my husband
always offers me the first reading OF
it,"
