To Meet Better Winds

AS the Graf nears the equator it
should encounter favorable trade
winds which, while forcing 1t to fly
near the surface Of the sea, will aid
its speed materially. This condition
will be somewhat altered once the
equator is crossed, but by flying
higher the dirigible still should find
favorable winds.
Unusual interest has attached to
this trip of the Graf, since it is the
first experience of any lighter than
air craft in crossing the equatorial
area and meeting the extreme wealth
er and climatic conditions there.
One expected feature. for instance,
involved expansion of the hydrogen
lifting gas, necessitating loss of some
of it to be compensated for later by
dropping of water ballast.

THURKEN, INC, PAYS so
DIVIDEND

Thurlen, Inc, local real estate
brokers, featuring the Thur*e.a
Pian'' of real estate financing, pad
their FIRST asmi-annual s per cent
dividend to the holders of Thurken
preferred certificates on January ],
1880.
This corporation has been doing
4 usiness in Richmond for the past
three years and has built UP az1arge
clientele through it's activities, es-
pecially in the West End section OF
our city, where they have secured
for the colored people OF Richmond
the beautiful new and modern homes
in the Rosewood Avenue and Idle
wood Avenue developments OF the
Rosewood Construction Corporation.
They have handled large part Of
all the transactions having to do
with the sale of properly all around
that section, as well as other parts
Ct the city.
The "Thurken Plan" was brought
about by the pressing need for real
estate loans Dy our people IN
amounts UP to $4,000 as loans for
amounts OF this size are no longer
attractive to the larger financial IN
stitutions of the city. They further
saw a great desire on the part OF
people not able to save sufficient
down payment TO own homes. To
take care of this need they are buy
ing properties in the various sections
of the city, remodeling and reno
waiting them, and selling them to
the people for small down payments
and monthly notes like rent
The certificates issued by this cor
poration pay a guaranteed dividend
of 6 per cent sen1i-annually and sell
at $3.50 per snare, with par value
of $50 per share. They can be pur-
chased in any amount with the 10
per cent down payment and the bal
ance in monthly installments. All
are fully secured by the assets OF
the corporation and the loans made
by it on Richmond city properties.
The authorized capital is 100000,
of which around $4,000 is sold to
date. Property which the corpora
ton now owns is valued at $4S,50O,
on which there is q total indebted
ness of only $2O,954. All loans are
made on monthly payment basis.
These certificates offer safe in
vestment for the person of large or
small means in that they are Sc
cured by improved property on a
conservative margin and the loan
being reduced monthly, thereby con-
stantly increasing the margin OF
safety. They pay guaranteed divi-
dend of per cent semi-annually
and may be purchased in large
amounts or as low as one share.
They provide safe investment and
render much needed service to the
colored people of Richmond. The
corporation would appreciate your
inquiry.

Republican National Com.
.
..
n1iffeeman Speaks Here.

Hon. Perry w. Howard, Repubi-
can National Committeeman from
Mississippi, addressed large audi
! ence at the Ebenezer Baptist Church
last Sunday night. Mrs. Ora Brown
| Stokes was sponsor for the meeting
and presided. Prominent citizens on
the pulpit, in addition to DR.. Will
liam H. Stokes, pastor of the church,
| were Emmett c. Burke, president of
Consolidated Bank and Trust Com
pany; Bernard L. Kenney, secretary
treasurer. Commercial Bank and
Trust Co.. Lawyer H. M. Green and
Mrs. Rebscca Stiles Taylor.
Mr.. Howard delivered powerful
message to the citizens Of Richmond
on the political status of the Ameri-
can Negro. There is no member of
our group more qualified by training
and experience to inform and advise
on politics. He has served as as
slstant to the Attorney General of
the United States and is now the
national committeeman from the
State of Mississippi.
Attorney Howard stated that no
group within the United States has
more reason to be political alive than
the Negro. He needs it most. In
positive terms he reiterated time and
again that lily-whitism in the South
is the successor to the Ku Hulk
Khan and was the most subtle enemy
and insidious foe of the Negro. The
Khan is the sworn enemy to our
progress and in his opinion the Dem.
ocratic party was an angel compared
to lily-whitism. His address was en-
Enthusiastically received.
Mr.. Walter Jackson rendered an
excellent solo, accompanied by Prof.
E. T. Pollard and Ebenezer's choir
under Prof. Walter Jones executed
some difficult compositions in
splendid manner. The collection was
lifted by Madame Leila w. Bankett,
assisted by Mr.. B. A. Cephas and
Deacon George Branch. Editor j.
H. Murphy, of the Afro-Anerican of
Baltimore, was introduced and made
short talk.
DR.. and Mrs. Stokes received
many prominent guests in honor of
the distinguished lawyer and .politi-
cal leader at their beautiful lnanse
on Brook Road.
