STORM KING GROUP
Your attention is called to the fact that this stock was placed on
the market at 10 cents per share.
It is now 1 5 cents per share.
We will further inform you that the Storm King Group is pro
ducing richer ore as the work progresses, so it will be only a short
time till the price will again be raised.
We do not need very much money to place the mines on a
self-sustaining basis; so do not delay, buy now before the next
advance.
Come and see our mines; then you will realize the importance
of grasping the opportunity we now offer to you.
Write for Reports and Prospectus of this great group of mines.

needs any help.'
"The littlo Christian thought a
moment, for ho seemed to bo up
against a pretty hard proposition,
but ho came back all right. Ho said,
'Coil's a mighty old man, and He's
had a heap to do In His time, ami its
nothing but right that Ho should
have help.'
"The littlo llebiow agreed that It
was a plausible theory, and tlio two
continued their play."
