NO RISK Its principal and interest is held in trust and hence cannot be misapplied or dis sipated. , ' GUARANTEE In addition to its funds being invested in Portland Business Real Estate under a trusteeship, the Standard Trust company of Portland, Oregon, guarantees its prin cipal and interest without reservation. NO DEPRECIATION Regardless of what depreciation m&y occur in the real estate market, these certificates being guaranteed in principal and interest, will never go below par. CASHABLE The Standard Trust company will purchase these certificates two years from their date of issue, paying the principal face value with a 2 per cent bonus and all accrued interest thereon. . INCOME One half of the net income received from the property held in trust for these .certificates, will be paid to the certificate holders, and available data shows net income should range from 8 per cent to 15 per cent per annum. INTEREST The interest on these certificates commenced May 1, 1908, payable semi-annually and is guaranteed absolutely, under a trusteeship. INCREASE VALUE The increase value of Portland Business Real Estate has been steady and healthy and easily justifiable. Within the last few years the eastern money inter ests havefully realized the many, and wonderful resources of Oregon, among which are its agricultural lands, its timber and its water-powers, all needing development and exploitation. These resources must all pay tribute to Portland, and it is easy to reason why Portland bus iness property has within the past five years, increased from 175 to 400 per cent and it is safe to predict that the next five or ten years will see even a greater increase. DIVIDENDS The property purchased and held for these certificates will be so held under trusteeship for ten .years and then sold. The certificate holders will receive in addition to the face of their certificates and the interest and income paid on them, one half of the increased valuation of the property, being the difference between the purchase price and the "selling price of the property, which can easily be estimated between 200 per cent and 300 per cent, for every reason gives evidence that Portland should have between 500,000 and 600,000 pop ulation within the next ten years. CONFIDENCE This investment must appeal to all who have confidence in Portland, and all living in this beautiful and glorious Pacific northwest country must know that Portland is destined tc be its financial and. social center. ..: DENOMINATIONS These certificates are issued in denominations of from $25 upwards, allowing the . small investor the same privilege of profit sharing and an equals advantage, of the large ad assured advances of Business Real Estate, as is enjoyed by the'man of great wealth. .Remember, the interest commenced May 1, 1908 and is now accruing.

Home Tel ephune company, , , , Florence Central Gold Mine 11 'y '"' I'liJi'ii'ii'iam. i,1 1 ",., ," '"rag 'For more than a week we have been selling for 3 cents each shares in the Florence Central Mining Company; each of these shares are well worth 20 cents. They cover not only a lease on the Florence, greatest gold mine in the world, but likewise FOUR other claims, finely located and with splen did prospects. Though of so much greater value, we are glad we sold this stock at so small a price, because it inaugurated a new deal in mine pro motion, and demonstrated the feasibility of dealing squarely with the public letting it in on the "ground floor," instead of conferring that privilege on a few pet friends. But this promotion stock will all be subscribed by tomorrow (Sunday) evening, and on Monday, May 11, no shares' of this company will be sold at less than 10 cents, 25 per cent down and 25 per cent per month. And even at this price they will not long be on the market. We expect to raise to 50 cents per share within 60 days. . Indeed, we may not sell at less than par, if at all, by that time. Our deal with the Chedd people, enabling us to crosscut from the 250-foot level at once, may make this a dividend mine within 60 to 90 days. In fact, we believe it will. On Sunday, therefore, this office will be open from 9 a. m. until 8 p. m., and alt stock sold prior to the latter hour will be at 3 cents per share, but never thereafter will that price prevail. v. Florence Central Mining Company Incorporated under the laws of Oregon for $1,000,000, divided into 1,000,000 shares of the par value of $1 each, fully paid and non-assessable. nswnaas awn nnfjnuAn PRESIDENT.
