Being encouraged to promote the rapid and ■ easy accumulation of Money by the successful \floatfng and drawing of her GRAND NOVEL CONSULTATION, Fort.-na has determined to .-place -before the public another investment, founded ■ on the principle adopted in Berlin, where speculations of this nature are under the special charge . and guidance of tbe State. FORTLNA has had an extended Continental ■ experience of the details of these undertakings, and , she is convinced that the Prospectus she now offers to'the public will be heartily responded to. This is on investment peculiarly suitable for ladies, who are generally preoluded— by household duties— from indulging in the excitement of the Racecourse, and are therefore not inclined to invest their money where the success of a horse - forms the main element in the amount of the prizes .gained. The Shares for each Distribution will be limited to 5000, at Ten Shillings each. Periodical allotments of these Investments will be made every two months, under the supervision •fa Committee. The sums allotted will be in the proportion of •ne Allotment to every 25 Coupons, as follows, viz. :— 1 Allotment of ...£SOOI 3 Allotments of ...£25 1 „ „ ... 150 7 „ „ ... 15 1 „ „ ... 100 1 80 „ „ ... 10 3 Allotments of ... 501100 „ „ ... 5 '4 „ „ ... 30 1 In addition to tbe above, there will be an Allot- -. ment amongst the unsuccessful shareholders of 100 Coupons for tbe next distribution.
