An Indisi SAFE INVESTMENT The material progress which our country is now, and' 'has been' making for the past decade of years, 1 naturally brings to the surface numerous schemes of the "get rich quick character that benefit only the promoters of such, at the expense of innocent investors. In this of genuine prosperity with every legitimate business booming, wages high, work in abundance, giving employment to all willing to earn, and products of the farm bringing best prices; there is little or no excuse for one not to join the army of money-makers. The first and safest investment to make is to become a reader of the CINCINNATI ENQUIRER, the greatest and most reliable newspaper in the United States.

With the facts, truth and information gleaned from its col-' umps, one may become well qualified to reach out and secure his share of profit that always accrues from investments intelligently made. The WEEKLY ENQUIRER costs but one dollar for one year's term. The SUNDAY ENQUIRER costs you two. dollars for a year. The DAILY ENQUIRER (7 issues a week) you get for fourteen dollar's a year.

Without the aid of a -class newspaper, success in any enterprise becomes problematical. For ten cents you can secure a sample copy of each, SUNDAY and WEEKLY ENQUIRER.
