The Washington bee., 1909-10-02
WASHINGTON IS THE SEAT OF OUR
NATIONS GOVERNMENT.


The eyes of the world are on Washington.
One-third of Washingtons population is
Negro.
If all the Negroes in Washington were colon
lied in one place they would make city larger
than Richmond, Virginia.
There are seven theatres in Washington,
supported by white population of 24I,923-
and 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 Colored professional or
business man or 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
tr1ct 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 a theatre, store, and
Office building, operated by the Negroes for the
Negroes, is NECESSITY.
The welfare of the race demands it.
The self-respect of the race demands it.
Any enterprise resting its hope of success
upon a NECESSITY is bound to be a sue
CESS.
THEATRE AND OFFICE BUILDING
IN THE CITY OF WASHINGTON, built by
Negroes, for the use of Negroes, is 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 2, 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:
Flrst-It is absolutely safe.
Second-It promises enormous possibilities
as money maker.
Features that must appeal to every man or
woman with a few dollars to invest and Won
are such 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., 1909-10-02

1t will also have theatre, which, if patron
lied at prices ranging from 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 o-Io per cent, to which
may be added the land value increase of s5G
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
YOU get only about 3 or 81 per cent. The
banks or insurance companies keep the balance.

IT KNOWS ALL THIS AND IT IN
VITES YOU TO PARTICIPATE in an en-
terprise ABSOLUTELY DEVOID OF RISK.
where every dollar will be invested in the best
of Washington Real Estate, that increases in
value annually at the rate of 55s per cent
nearly DOUBLE bank interest.
Even that is good enough for most people,
but the LINCOLN MEMORIAL BUILDING
COMPANY will do better than that It will
have Offices and stores and lodge rooms which
will earn, on a conservative estimate at least
$23,2oo per year. Equal to o-Io per cent per
annum.

IT IS THE NEW EMANCIPATION PROCLAMATION

ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO.
Not one dollar of white capital will be ac-
Cepted in exchange for its securities.
There is not dollar of Promotion Stock
consequently there is no watered stock.
Every holder of stock from the President
down must pay at LEAST $1,000 per share for
every share of stock allotted to him.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will REMAIN at $1,000 per share. 1t is $1,000
NOW. 1t will advance in price far beyond
$1,000, just as railroad and public utility stock
goes to several times par. So will the Lincoln
Memorial Building Companys stock go to
several times its present value.
This means that a 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
vested in Real Estate THE BEST in the city
OF Washington, where values are as firmly fixed
as the Rock of Gibraltar.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will remain at $1,000 per share. It is $1,000
NOW. IF the Company, as it is estimated,
pays 20 per cent, $1,000 share of stock will be
worth $4,000. 1t it pays 90 per cent, single
share of $1,000 stock will be worth $4,000. lust
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
IN value, SO will the Lincoln Memorial Build
ing Company's stock increase in price.
The first allotment of stock at $1,000 share
is being rapidly subscribed and the next allot-
ment will be SI2.5o per share, to which point
it will soon be advanced; therefore, you are
urged to avail yourself of the present oppor-
tunity to get in as completely on the ground
floor as any one of the Company's Directors
are.
The Company's Directors, by the way, are
men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as
you are possibly aware, or can easily ascertain
through any COMMERCIAL AGENCY.
Their names are at the top of this page
They have unbounded faith in the future of the
Company. They have invested THEIR hard
earned money in it, and they advise you to in
vest YOUR money side by side with theirs.

Last week motion was made
by the attorneys to quash tie
Grand and Petit Juries on the
ground that John Comeau, one Of
the Jury Commissioners occupied
two Offices, that of Jury Commits
siouer aud Secretary of the Town
Council of Bresux Bridge; the
court maintained the motion as
tho law clearly says that a Jury
Commissioner shall bold no other
Office.

About seventy persons, ladies

Sunday for the Knights of Colum-

tiresome trip, but all report hav-

Now Iberia voted Monday a spe-
cial tax in favor of the New Iberia
St. Martin and Northern Railroad,
that will amount in ten years to
$50, 900. We learn that there WAS
little opposition to the tax. The
election for the same purpose will
be held here in st. Martinville,
Monday, and the result is doubt
ful, many are in favor Of the Rail-
road, but there is also a stroug Op-
position because of the fear that
the people will not vote the Rail-
road and Canal taxes, aud as the
canal seems to be the most popu.
lar of the two propositions, the
Railroad will probably be defeat
ell to insure the success of the Ca
nal. The railroad people made q
mistake iu trying to force the
Railroad election before the Canal
was voted for, and the defeat of
the Railroad tax will be due to
this mistake.
