THE GREAT STOREHOUSE OF WEALTH. “ Alfred Belt's vast wealth came from nun-*—diamonds, fold and copper— Ilk. ilie Immense fortune of Senator William A. Clark, of Montana, tike the 333.IMO.OOO or more accumulated by Cecil Rhodes. The earth waa alao the source of the wealth of both John D. Rockefeller and his brother William. The name thin* Is true of Carne*te'a fr.at store of wealth. It waa really due from Iron mines—Iron and coal. Krupp piled up the larteat estate In .Germany in like manner. He made hla money by manufacturln* the product of Iron -mlnei. The earth -ta—a—magnificent •o.rehouae of waalth. It has proved more fruitful df Immense fortunes than the vast transportation business which rind? the fortunes of the Vanderbilt* and the Goulds. Hill. Harrlman and the rent of the railroad kings. It has benien the mere ownership and use OF ATLANTA, GA Is incorporated under the laws of Georgia, its officers and directors are well known Atlanta business wen, and its graphite property is at Emerson, Bartow County, Georgia, 43 miles from Atlanta. The American Graphite Company has a capital stock of $100,000, divided into shares of the par value of $100 each, full paid and non* assessable. It owns with an absolute title, without any incumbrances or debts of any kind, animmeuse deposit of thirty acrdS, the single largest deposit of Graphite in the South. A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OF GRAPHITE, 30 acres in extent, with millions of tons of the valuable mineral, t visible to the naked eye. Ihe deposit is so enormous that it would take one hundred and fifty years of daily, working to exhaust even half of this deposit. WITHIN A MILE of this mine there is another graphite mine, with $100,000 capital, now manufacturing tons and tons of graphite every year, and earning handsome profits. On the other side of the American Graphite Company ’s mine there is one other smaller graphite mine also being worked very profitably. GRAPHITE sells from $2.75 per ton to $120 per ton, and there is an ever increasing market for it in the 'manufacture of foundry fac ings, crucibles, lubricating purposes, fire pi-oof points, pencils, stove poliish and for many other purposes. The domestic supply is not enough to supply the demand in the United States, and thousands of tons are imported yearly from Ceylon, India and fi'om Europe. This is the opportunity of a life time for conservative investors. There is nothing problematical about this mine. It is there. Intend ing investors can see it with their own eyes. Some dozen Atlanta business men, who have been there to see it, immediately iuvested in the stock. Why? Because stock in the mine is an absolutely safe investment, and certain to pay enormous dividends. The officers of the company will take pleasure at any time in showing this splendid property to any one who may lie interested. For the purpose of paying for machinery and buildings already contracted for, the Company has allotted a limited amount of treas ury stock, aud subscriptions are invited for this stock at par. Shares $100 each, fully paid and non-assessible. Every $100 share of this Company is backed at a conservative estimate by $1,000 worth of graphite, which only waits to be mined to pay very large dividends. The capitalization of $100,000 is a very low one, when the value of the property is estimated. We honestly believe that a veai- from' now a $100uhare of this stock should be worth at least $300, or more. Not a share of this allotment of stock for development purposes will be sold for less than par, $100, simply because it is worth more than that right now. Every dollar derived from the sale of this stock will be spent for machinery and mining operations. The Company has no debts, no bonds, no preferred stock, and no salaried officers. It is a plain, bus- mess deni, on hiiRTnpKs principles. The company is officered and managed by men of the highest integrity and business standing. Chemical Analysis of This Graphite: OFFICE OF N. A. PRATT, Millie Eiiiwr »H diuBliI CtwM It is impossible to explain in this advertisement the great advantages this opportunity offers to investors.
