The Theatre will have an approximate seating capacity of 1,200, while twenty-four apartments will be included in the remainder of the building and there will be two modern stores on the street level, with the Theatre entrance be- tween them. The building will be of fireproof, reinforced steel-and-conerete con- struction. It will be five stories in height, with basement. t These Bonds are offered for sale through J. F. Mullen, President of the B. M. Behrends Bank, in Juneau, who is a Trustee of the 20th Century Invest- | ment Co., Inc. The Bonds are for sale in denominations of : $1 par value, bearing semi-annual interest coupons of $2. bonds, each of $500.00 par value and bearing semi - annual $12.50 each. 2 5,000 in bonds each of $100.00 | 0 each; and $35,000 in 70 | interest coupons of Interest coupons will be payable January 1, 1939, and every six months | thereafter. The principal is payable at the rate of $5,000 per year, commencing January 1, 1942. These Bonds are callable at 102 plus interest, on interest dates. The Property on which this project is being erected is clear of all liability. The property has a 50-foot street frontage and a depth of 200 feet. Its value is estimated at $25,000.00. Ereetion of the project was commenced on April 7, 1 , and the 20th Cen- | tury Investment Co., Inc., has at present sufficient resources on hand to continue | construction to the extent of approximately $35,000.00. Following completion of the building, the 20th Century investment Co., Inc., will furnish the Theatre at an estimated cost of $35,000.00. As the 20th Cen- tury Investment Co., Ine., is itself investing approximately $95,000.00 in this proj- ecl, its good faith is evident as protection to the investor. A guaranteed income from the project is already assured. The two stores have been leased; the theatre has been leased by Mr. W. D. Gross, through the 20th Century Investment Co., Inc.; while the twenty-four apartments at present projected will bring an approximate rental income of $700.00 per month. Thus the aggregate income from the project will approximate $14,400.00 per year; which will be sufficient to guarantee interest on investors’ bonds, taxes, building mainte- nance and payments on maturing bonds. | Anyone interested in securing further details regarding this project, or [ wishing to make application for bonds, may see Mr. W. D. Gross, President of the | 20th Century Investment Co., Inc., at the Coliseum Theatre, in Juneau. | | May Robson Marks . U 13,0195 4th Year 8.
