ING COMPANY is ENTIRELY NEGRO.
Not one dollar of white capital will be ac-
cepted in exchange for its securities.
There is not one 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 Company earnings will be 90 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 shsCc of stock viii be
worth $4,000. If it pays 90 per cent, single
share of $1,000 stock will be worth $1,000 lust
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
IN value, so will the Lincoln Memorial BHild-
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 any one of the Company's Directors
are.
The Companys 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.
DCN'T WAIT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.
The price of stock is $1,000 per share, pay
able $500 down and SI.oo per month for nine
months uDon each share subscribed for.
DO 1T NOW.
Before you lay this paper down cut out the
coupon on the lefthand corner of this page and
mail to-day with remittance for first payment,

We shall be glad at all times to give you any
further information desired, and again invite

It will also have 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-

may be added the land value increase of 55s

Now, all this is Conservatively Estimated.

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 SIS 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

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 a 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 woman, and there are HIM
dreds of them in the National Capital, can OBJ
tain business quarters.
JUST THINK OF IT! 100000 enterprising,

Every colored man and woman VISITING

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.
Amy 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
magnificent theatre, seating capacity 800, and
store and office building of splendid proper
ton, adequate in every respect to meet the re-
quirements of prosperous professional and bust
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 you
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 patronze

conduct? Send him a fascinator and
/ The more dishonorably she treats him
the quicker she'll snare him"
! One of these prattlers, bosom friend
Of Miss Leroy, was commissioned to
go to her and offer her n present If
she would bring Westcott Slyter TO the
Christmas church party. Miss Leroy,
/ instead Of declining the bribe with in
aignntion, wished to know what it
would be and when told told that she
would receive a dozen pairs OF gloves
struck for two dozen. Her terms hav-
! ing been accepted. she began to lay
plans for getting her clutches on the

pretty, by others homely. When her
face was at rest there was no beauty
In it, but when it lighted up it changed

mingled innocence and childlikeness.
Every one spoke of that Guileless
way she had with her. Probably her
most effective feature was her eyes.
They We're dark brown ones. and she
tould look out OF them anything she
pleased. Her principal use for them
was to send expressions of injured in

Miss Leroy determined to make
reconnaissance of Slyter castle, as IT
was called By the young women OF the
place. Taking a book under her arm,
she went TO the house and rang the
bell. The butler appeared, and she
asked for Mr.. SIyter with a view to
take his subscription for a new vol

him, but she cross questioned the but

leaving the premises. throwing her
strategic eye about, she observed that
an apple tree sent its branches right
up against the study window
A day or two later while Mr.. Slyter
was writing a chapter in his book, en-

Uniformity of Laws.

1t is when the governors of the var
ious states get together, as they have
at Frankfort, that there is impressed
on the country the necessity of more
uniformity in laws which govern the
commemorative of the nation. The
governors have had forced on their at
tentiOn the manifold annoyances which
result from lack of uniformity, and
their combined experiences make a
formidable argument for this simple,
common sense reform.
In the early days, when there was
comparatively little travel and men
seldom changed their place of resi-
dence from one state to another, uni
formity in state laws was not a SER
ious question. In those days there
were few statutes anywhere, and as al
most all of them were based on the
old common law, they did not differ
radically. What inconvenience was
caused by the different conditions in
different states was trivial.
With the growth of transportation
and other facilities for interstate COM
-munication. there has been a gradual

that Mr.. Slyter TO be permitted to shut
