Supposlng you to be one of the number, the Company has arranged with the Los Angeles National Bank to receive and hold your money in trust for thirty days, subject to your order within that time.
 According to this arrangement you may write the Company order ing the number of shares you want, and instead of sending the money to the Company send it to said Bank. On receipt of your order and mo- tice from the Bank that the money is there, certificate for the shares ordered will be mailed you by regis tered letter, at once. By registering the letter the Company will know that you have received the certif- cate. Send draft or money order, making same payable to the Califor- mia Consolidated Petroleum Con- pany.
