Here Is Our Proposition: No lottery, no scheme, just a plain business proposition. Lot is desirably located on corner, and well worth $300. Buy one or more lots, and for every dollar you pay in cash, you get 5 per cent in- terest in this lot. When all stock in lot has been taken in this way, all holders of certificates will be given no- tice, and they can sell, or hold for higher price. .
