Announcement. New Orleans, February 2, 1903 BY RILEY GRANNAN. SPECIAL DISPATCH. To the American Racing Public: The Riley Grannan Company has been incorporated under the laws of the State of Louisiana, with a paid up capital of 00,000, for the purpose of transacting a general turf information and commission business. I have been elected President and will direct the operations of the company in the interest of hundreds of friends who have already signified a desire to become patrons, and in the interest of the general racing public, whom I shall be glad to enroll individually on the books of the company as regular subscribers to the service, full particulars of which are set forth below. I hope I need hardly refer to my long career as a bettor, bookmaker, handicapper and general form expert, or to my inside connections with prominent owners and trainers to secure patronage. Every angle of the game is an open book to me, and I have pledged myself to the gentlemen who are. backing me with practically unlimited capital to give to patrons of the company the fruits of my experience. I have already organized a large staff of dockers to watch the preparations of the horses on the ground in the early morning hours, and may add that my force is the best organization of its kind which money and a knowledge of experts can bring together. I have, also, heard from at least two hundred owners and trainers within the past forty-eight hours who express willingness to put their best information within my reach. The handicapping I shall do myself. I am quite satisfied that the results which the company will be able to accomplish through this system of selecting winners will bring brilliant results. In all my racing career I have never had a losing weektwhen I had for a basis such an organiztion. My personal winnings on such information have been as high as 200,000 in a single week. My losses on the turf at different periods may be attributed to a stubbornness which at times I evinced in sticking to handicapping entirely. The racing experience I have had is probably unique in turf history, and I trust it is not immodist for me to say it is a valuable asset to a turf advisory bureau. That experience is now your property if you join us. Every morning I shall with the assistance referred to above, select what I consider the best and surest bets of the day, and on these the Riley Grannan Company will play the money of its clients. On some days it may be impossible to arrive at a decision that there is a single good bet on the card. At others there may be four or five. The company will not therefore bind itself to make any stipulated number of bets. Such bets will be made that seem judicious, and no others. The Riley Grannan Company will conduct business on the following basis: Terms for information. 5 per day and no charge unless we send you a starter. The smallest sum we will undertake to place for any client is 0 on each selection. The smallest account we will accept is 00. From every account we will deduct daily in , advance for the information. At the end of each week a check will be mailed for any i profits that accrue, less five per cent, of the net winnings which will cover our expenses in placing your money. Whether the account wins or losses, a statement will be mailed at the end of each week. There is no limit to the amount which may be sent us for play. A remittance of 00 will insure a 0 play on each selection. A remittance of 00 will insure a 0 lJlay on each selection. A remittance of 300 will insure a 30 play i on each selection. A remittance of 400 will insure a 40 play on each selection. A remittance of 500 will insure a 50 play on each selection, and so on. The reason a I sum so much in excess of a single bet is required is that the company will at times bet j your money on losers as well as winners. The best horse does not win every race and we may have an occasional bad streak. By having a sufficient amount of capital with 1 the company, you will in all probability be protected against such a contingency. I have never personally made over seven straight losing bets in my life. Experiences differ in this respect, but it would be the height of folly for anybody to send in an account to be played forhim without protecting it against a few successive losers. I entertain the very greatest confidence in the ability of the company to make you a handsome winner. I have gathered about me the very best force of experts obtainable and have backing to the extent that must enable me to succeed. I give you the strongest assurance that any accounts you intrust to the Riley Grannan Company will be played on the best selections that money and brains can secure, and that you will get the squarest run for your money that has ever been given to anybody in racing. This being my original venture in this department of the game, you will readily understand what success or failure means to me. I have a reputation to sustain and if I did not think I could sustain it and improve upon it, I would not now be addressing you. Here are a few additional particulars that have bearing on the plans of the Riley Grannan Company. The charge for placing your money will be five per cent, of the net weekly profits. Selections will be mailed to subscribers for whom we place money before the races are run. Racing enthusiasts who are in a position to operate their own money can have the information wired to them every day at noon for 10 per day. The rate is made higher for those who play their own money for the reason that it is necessary to keep the information as exclusive as possible, and to prevent piracy. All telegrams sent at cost of subscribers Make all remittances payable to the Riley Grannon Company. Remit money by express, money order, post office money order or certified check if possible. Register your I mail when you send cash. Address, The Riley Grannan Company, G19 Common Street, New Orleans, La.
