A 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
magnificent theatre, seating capacity $500, and
a 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
as 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 patronize
the theatre exclusively, and make it the best

consequently there is no watered stock.
Every holder of stock from the PresideAs
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 SIo.os
NOW. 1t will advance in price far beyoad
$1,000, just as railroad and public utility stock
goes to several times par. So will the Lizcoln
Memorial Building Company's stock go to
several times its present value.
This means that a share Of stock eosszAg
$1,000 NOW will be worth $4,000 whea ssock
goes TO four times par. Estimates show sElat
the Companys earnings will be 20 per eent, a2d
that is four times par, with every dO3laE m
vested in Real Estate. THE BEST IN the szty
of Washington, where values as firmly 6xed
as the Rock of Gibraltar.
This does not mean that the price of stock
will remain at $1,000 per share. 1t is SIo.oo
NOW. If the Company, as it is estimated,
pays 20 per cent, $1,000 share of stock VIII be
worth $4,000. If it pays 90 per cent, sfzgie
share of $1,000 stock will be worth 5000. IEst
as railroads and public utility stocks increase
In value, SO will the Lincoln Memorial Rzi3d-
ing Companys stock increase in price.
The first allotment of stock at $1,000 share
is DSllS rapidly subscribed, ana the next d1E9E-
ment will be $I2.5o per share, to which point
it will be advanced; therefore, you are
urged to avail yourself of the present oppor-
tunity to get in completely the gToaud
floor any one of the Company's Directors
are. e.
The Company's Directors, by the way, are
men of sterling worth, integrity and honor, as
you 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 upon each share subscribed for.
DO IT NOW.
Before you lay this paper down cut out the
coupon the lefthand corner of this page and

further information desired, and again invite

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
S23,2oo per year. Equal to 9-Io per cent per
annum.

1t 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 capitahza-
ton. Equal in all to 20 o-Io per cent, to which
may be added the land value increase of 558
per cent.
Now, all this is Conservatively Estimated
Banks and Insurance Companies engage in
enterprises like this with their depositOrs and

special election recently held BY the
city BY which an Issue of bonds for
municipal water works, light and paw

illegal, according to the opinion of At
torney General Miller, because the
amount Of such bond issue was not
stated specifically.
Such was the information conveyed
to the adjourned meeting this evening
through communication from City
Attorney Feetham. This will necessi-

before the sale Of the city bonds can
be negotiated. Arrangements had
been made with the board Of univer-
sity and school lands to take the
bonds If satisfied Of their legality.
The attorney generals office makes
an examination In detail Of all securi-
ties offered the board. and negotiations
for securities are not completed by
the board until it has the attorney
generals approval thereof. After
hearing the communication of the city
attorney, the mayor was authorized to
call special election for Feb. Ia, to
vote again on the issue of bonds.
