HOW MILLIONAIRES START
THE LURE OF GOLD. In his youth, Jas Hortsman, the American millionaire, was very ambitious but poor. The difficulty of obtaining money for a proper start seemed insurmountable—acquiring the first thousand pounds is always the greatest difficulty in life—but unbounded faith in luck caused him to invest a portion of his savings where luck could aid him. It is interesting to know that his first 5000 dollars (£1000) was acquired in this way. If Jas. Hortsman was living in New Zealand to-day, ho would have invested heavily in tickets for the Gigantic Art Union, as oven one ticket can win the whole £4OOO, representing the prizes in alluvial gold which will be released when the Gigantic Art Union is drawn under civic and police supervision on June 22. Probably he would favour the tickets now being sold as being the “lucky last.” No tickets sold after June 6 buy yours from any leading tobacconist, or Sports Depot, etc. Or send money with stamped addressed envelope to the secretary, "Gigantic Art Union,” Mr Roy S. Johnston, 31 Hunter Street, Wellington. Tickets by return mail or money back is sold out. G.
