THE GREAT STOREHOUSE OF Glumieal Analysis of This Graphite: OFFICE OF Alfred Balt's vast wealth came from mines—diamonds, gold and copper— like the Immense fortune of 8*nator William A. Clark, of Montana, like the 1:5.600.000 or more accumulated by Cecil Rhodes. The earth w*a also the source df the wealth of both John Dr Rockefeller and hie brother William. The same thins <■ true of Carnsgte'a (rest store of wealth. It wa> really due from Iren mines—Iron and coal. Krupp piled up the largest estate In Germany In like manner. He made hla money by manufacturing the product of Iron mines. The earth la a magnificent •lorehouse of wealth. It narpnrrbit ■ moie fruitful of Immense fortunes than the vatt tranaportatton business which mule the fortunes of the Vanderbilts ud the Goulds, Hill, Uarrlman and ih» rest of the railroad klngt. It hds Milan the man ownership and use of the eurfaca of tha ground, Aator- I (union —Cleveland Leader. OF ATLANTA, GA. Is incorporated under the laws of Georgia, its officers and directors are well known Atlanta business men, and its graphite property is at Emerson, Bartow County, Georgia, 43 niilea from Atlanta. The American Oraphite Company baa ^capital stock of $100,000, divided into shares of the par value of $100 each, full paid and non assessable. It owns with s(n absolute title, without any incumbrances or debts of any kind, an immense deposit of thirty acres, the single largest deposit of Graphite owned by any corporation or individual in the South. A WHOLE MOUNTAIN OF GRAPHITE, 30 acres in extent, with millions of tons of the valuable mineral, visible to the naked eye. The 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 miue, with $100,000 capital, now manufacturing tons mid tons of graphite {Miiag EagiiHU til CliMlHnf CktRifi 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- j ings. crucibles, lubricating purposes, fire proof paints, pencils, stove polish and for many other purposes. The domestic supply is not ^ ^ IMtaB, 83.24 W MR enough to supply the demand in the United States, and thousands of tons are imported yearly from Ceylon, ludia and from EurojH*. This is the opportunity of a life time for conservative investors. There is nothing problesutic&l about this mine. It la there. Intend ing investors can see it with their own eyes/ — Some dozen Atlanta business men, who have been there to sec it, immediately invested in the stock. Wbyf Because stock in this mine is an absolutely safe investment, and certain to pay enormous dividends. The officers of the company will take pleasure at any tilue in showing this splendid, property to any one who may be interested. For the purpose of paying for machinery and buildings already contracted for, the Company lias set aside for sale a limited amount of treasury stock, and subscriptions sre invited for this stock at par. Shares $100 each, fully paid and non-assessable. Every $100 share of this! | U,er * * 8 lar ® c k d< ^ 8ud '^ ^ Company is backed at a conservative estimate by $1,000 worth of graphite, which only waits to he mined to pay very large dividends. The 1 U * l *° ,akeH Ml ' k,Ddl> * “ capitalization of $100,000 is a very low one, when the value of the property is estimated. IVe houestly believe tliut a year from now a $100 share of this stock should be worth at least $300, or more. Not a shave of tliis 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 iness deal, on'business principles. The company is officered and managed by men of the highest integrity and business standing. . . Eveiyhody intcrested will get a square deal. — — -IZL. It is impossible to explain in this advertisement the great advantages this opportunity offers to investors. We would like to explain the de tails more fully to you if interested, and show you the property. You would be certain to be convinced of the great and almost immediate profits in this enterprise to conservative investors. frgga.
