A valuable diamond pin was finally
taken from the Angeleno by the Rharp r

which attracted a third bunco man,
whose role was that of a special offlcor
and who started to escort the gambling
trio to Jail. Tho victim refused to of
fer to compromise the matter with the
officer, ns he was expected to do. The
Angeleno was handed his diamond pin
with tho understanding that he would
give It Into the custody of tho officer.
Instead," however, he put it In his pock

of the Jewel were afflicted with cold
feet about that time and mudo a hur

said to tho Angeleno:
"You're a sharper and • you must
clear out of town." "With these words

■ Tho inveßtment of $5.00 per stinra In thin company means that within or)e yenr nnd three menth« from ilnto your investment, fluurlnfr. 8 per cent
Interest on your money, ought to be wjrlh $50.00, or ten times the actual monoy you paid for tho security, or five times the par value of the stock. In
cither words, we are offering you an investment that rhould net you on the Rrtt allotment' of Block 80 |fr ennt annually. This seems a little bit exag-
gerated, hut It will not be hard to convince you of this fact,. If you will but come to our office or crn to tho office of the United States Granite Pressed
ilrlck company In tho Merchants Trust building, whqro reliable and responsible men, who have been In tho brick buftlnesH all their, lives, will prove
conclusively to you that they have h brick so far superior to anything on tha market, which can bo marie for Icfh than 17.00 per thousand, and that they
have contracts practically In hand that will take their entire output at -125.0) per thoutiand, and their present proposed plant will make 20,000 of tha&a
brick every day. Figure this out lit your own mind before you read another line, und you will come to the conclusion that the profit* on; 100 shares of
this stock will give you an Income greater limn the avemare salary of school teachers, stenographer*, bookkeepers, clerks, etc.
At the prenont tllnc thore nro three pressed brick concerns In floutharn California, who are possibly behind in their orders, and the demand for
pressed brick at the present time. Is far In excess of the supply. Even an ordinary burnt preased brick concern could enter Into business now and make
lots of money In Los Angeles, even with their big expenses to meet. . Hut hire we have a brick that Is so far superior to anything clue on the market,
i brick that will stand the tost of the elements, the scrutiny of the huililjr and architect, the crucial te»t of two governments, that can be had In
any color, slmpo or size, that can be made today and put In the walls tomorrow, that cun.be constructed of materials that abound In great quantities
right adjacent to Lob Angeles and can be made at a cost less than $7.00 tier .thousand, nnd "yet undersell Inferior competition nt least 33 1-3 per cent, :
and In many cases undersell them a hundred per cent/ "What do you think the outlook of .such a company Is going to bo? • Don't you think It Is very
brilliant? • „ . ; . ■.-..•;:
imitKlnn our total expense, figuring everything at a greater actual coat .than It really will-be, figuring this total expense at $155.65 dally, and for .
this expense you havo 20,000 finished brick that can be used the next day, and an advanco order, for them at $25.00 per thousand, making a grand to-
tal of $500.00 daily salea. Subtract $155.65 from this and tho not prhllt ocr day Is $344. 33. Figuring on the total capitalization of this company (which is
only $250,000), a 800 cluys' run for a year would net a profit of $103,305.00, nn.l the stock offered to you now at $5.00 per share would mean $4.00 proflt on .
every $5.00 you Invest, or SO per cent Inlereßt on your money (40 per cent Interest at part), and 80 per cent Interest would mean a stock value of $50.00
per share at tho end of tho first year, or a holding Increasing ten tlnios In ono. year, little better- than real estate at best.
We nppreclote very much that this all sounds Ilko a fairy tale, but all wo ask you to do Is .to come and look Into tho proposition yourself. T^et

A Pressed Brick in Any Form, Shape or Manner -
Now, a few pointers about the consumption of brick. In California alone 36,000.000 of pressed bricks are used annually, and this is increasing every
year, and does not tuke Into consideration the thousands and thousands to be used In San Francisco. • . ■. , ■■■■■- ■'
There aro three concerns making prest«ed brick In Lob Angelos und vicinity. Their price ranges from $35,000 to $60,000 per thousand, and it takes
them (provided no orders aro ahead of yours) three to four week's, as tho burning consumes at least 22 days. , , ■', -
Tho granite pressed brick can bo made today and ready for delivery tomorrow. In any color or variety, but this is not" so with the oidlnary pressed
brlcK as le made here at the present time. "While they vary In color, the stone is always a tan, and In many cases you will find various shapes of
Bricks In the same building;, and wo will make a reasonable wager that you can look right across the street now and prove what we are saying. Don't'
you see a few light ones and come dark oi.es? This naturally makes a very bad looking bulldinsr, to our notion. Granite pressed bricks are guaran-'
teed uniform in color and size, and contain no cement, thus assuring against deterioration. In fact, the older our brick the greater becomes its bonding:
P ° % Remember the company's guarantee and their offer to disprove these statements mean that they wll} pay $500.00 to charity, and don't forget that.
Granite pressed brick Is made of crushed granite, which insures Its uniformity of color; there is. no burning process, therefore the. color Is perma-
nent and not burnt out or varied. ' « • • ' , •< :. '.< . I, -■
The German srovernmont-uses this brick almost exclusively, and it is nowbeingr made in the enstern states by the same process, with the exception'
that sand is used Instead of granite, and tho aand does not hold together as well as the granite. We have an unlimited supply of hljrh grade granite
that will last us for 100 years or more at one plare alone.- This Insures a uniformity in price,' and our profit will be tho same year in and year out,

HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
THREATEN TO STRIKE
Special to The Ilerala. ;*,■ •
PASADENA, Oct. 24.-There Is like
ly to be a strike among wine of the
teachers of the high school because of
failure to raise salaries by the board
of education. After a certain length
of service teachers are advanced In
pay. There Is no regular rule for this
but it has become an unwritten law
through years of custom.
This year the board decided that, as
the city council had, pared Its appro
priation to the bone. It would . have to
retrench and the first retrenchment
was in cutting down tho scale of raUes
so that . those ■ entitled by custom to
$100 .a year more this fall should only
get 545.
When the warrants wero, handed out
the Misses ivirson, Rodemacher. Deyo,
Schapbach and L<oomls found that they
had not received tho expected raise,
and there was a weeping and gnashing
of teeth. Resignations are threatened
unless the board reconsiders its action.
The matter will como up again at
tho next meeting of the board as it is
desired to retain the services of the
dissatisfied teachers.
