THE GROWTH OF
THE OIL INDUSTRY
Causes an Association to Be Formed.
At It's Headquarters in the
Mills Building
THE PRODUCERS oILExcHANGE
WILL OPEN TOMORROW.

California has had its days Of Gold,
ing capitalists are opening up a new
era for investment by the development
of the oil fields, and many companies
have been formed which have acquired
lands and are boring for oil. In con-
sequence Of the great activity and de-
mand for oil stocks the Producers OIL
Exchange has been organized by those
interested IN the oil fields, capitalists
and brokers. The public will thus have
the opportunity of seeing daily quota
tions of oil stocks and giving their or
ders to the brokers to buy or sell, as
they may require.
The Producers OIL Exchange has
taken every precaution possible to ex-
anime into the standing Of the various
oil companies before allowing such
companies to list their stocks, and
those buying and selling through the
brokers of the Exchange will thus have
the protection Of the Exchange.
The first session of the Producers Oil
Exchange will be held tomorrow
(Monday), the 23d., at II a. m. in its
rooms on the ground floor of the Mills
building Preparations have been made
to entertain a large number of people,
as every one is invited to attend. Mr..
George w. Terrill, the president, will
open the session. Then the chairman,
Mr.. Joseph l. King, will take his place
at the rostrum and give people a
chance to buy and sell oil shares
through the medium of the brokers.
Great excitement has been created
lately by the discovery OF more oil wells
and doubtless this will stimulate the
trade at the first session of the Ex-
change We learn that the Producers
Oil Exchange is indorsed by nearly all
those interested in the production of
oil and the association is to be con-
graduated in having listed on it's board
the best companies. not only those ope-
rating in the producing Coalinga field,
but also in other sections of the State.
No companies are listed without the
payment of the regular listing fee Of
500.
Parties desiring to invest In oil
shares are recommended to visit the
Exchange, where they will find the
secretary ready to give general infor-
nation as TO companies and the terri
tory in which they are operating. This
information IS derived from experts
employed by the association, who are
constantly in the various oil fields.

1t Is a well-known fact to practical

In a cheap adulterated soap. Not only
from the fact that 1t has not the lasting

BY the use Of CAESAR, linens and 9th

1t has been proved that CAESAR does
80 per cent. more washing than the

CAESAR has a rich, velvet creamy
