This Company incorporated with an authorized 

 capital of $1,000,000, and composed of some of the most 

 successful and shrewdest business men of New York 

 and other States, who are far-seeing enough to know 

 the vast wealth to be made in Cuba within the next 

 few years, are securing immense landed properties on 

 that beautiful and fertile island. 



They are incorporated for the purpose of buying, 

 selling, improving and cultivating Lands in Cuba. 

 Establishing and maintaining Steamship Lines, 

 Railroads, Mills, Factories, Hotels, Docks, Plan- 

 tations, etc. 



Our real estate experts are now in Cuba selecting 

 and buying choice Tobacco, Sugar, Banana, Pine- 

 apple, Coffee, Fruit and Vegetable Lands. 



With the sole object of making all of this land 

 worth fifty times its present value, they have 

 inaugurated the most gigantic and liberal colon- 

 ization enterprise in the history of the world.

 ized any similar enterprise, the Company propose to 

 give away all of the above-named House lots, Busi"

 ing four-fifths we shall hold for the Company's profit, 

 to be sold in the future at enormously increased 

 values.
