' GET-RICH-QUICK WALLINGFORD
WILL SELL ALASKAN STOCK
IN CAT AND RAT RANCH; DREAM
Living in California has its advan
ages and disadvantages, and it seems
j'o have effected some of the people
I down there to a more or less degree.
A Ketchikan man recently received
a letter from some one in that state,
and in this letter a very interesting
proposition was brought out. The
proposal has to do with buying stock
of course, and anyone interested can
wire this “Get-Rich-Quick Walling
ford”—with an initial subscription.
The letter, however, is self-explan
atory :
Dear Friend.
Knowing that you have some in
terest in the fur business, I take
the liberty of presenting to you what
seems to me a most wonderful busi
ness proposition, and, in which no
doubt, you will take a lively inte
rest and perhaps wire me the amount
of stock you wish to subscribe fo
rward the formation of this company.
The object of this company is to
operate a large cat ranch in or near
Oakland, where land can be purchas
ed cheap for this purpose.
To start with, we will collect sav
1,000,000 cats. Each cat will average
‘12 kittens a year. The skins run
from 10c each for the white ones to
75c for the pure black. This averag
es 30c apiece making our revenue a
bout $10,000 per day gross.
A man can skin 50 cats a day foi
$2.00. It will take 100 men to oper
ate the ranch, and therefore the nel
profit will be about $9800 per day.
We will feed the cats on rats anc
' will start a rat ranch next door. The
Irats multiply four times as fast as
a cat. If we start with 1,000,00(
I' rats, therefore, we will have four rats
; a day for each cat. which is plenty..
Now, then, we will feed the carcass
es of the cats, from which the skins
have been taken, to the rats, giving
each rat one-fourth of a cat.
It will thus be seen that the busi
ne ;s will be self-acting and automatic
all the way through. The cats wil
eat the rats and the rats will eat the
cats and we get the skins.
Awaiting your prompt reply anc
trusting you will appreciate the op
[ portunity that I give you and wdiicl
will get you rich quick, I remain,
> Yours very truly,
