sition. one that strongly appeals TO even
the most careful and conservative investor.
PLAIN PROPOSITION,

~ plulU, htIhlRUlIOT NuIut Slitr PiDBO-
sition IL seldom misunderstood. As there
were no ambiguous statements, no Juggling
Of words-nothing to confuse or bewilder
In what the King -Crowther Corporation
said. the result. as stated above, has been
that both the corporation and those who
nave invested In it's first allotment OF stock
are highly pleased.
In these days tho man who IL going TO
invest in stocks or anything that has III II
an element Of speculation naturally asks
himself Why
great returns? Why IL This different from
the countless many other oil companiosi,
And when these questions are asked, the
King-Crowther Corporation takes them up
in regular order and replies something after
why will II payP Because the King
Crowthcr Corporation own and controls
Of ,O40 acres Of Illuminating oil land-prac-
tioally all proven to be capable OF produc-
ing a superior and high grade OF niuml-
mating oil-because ten years ago the visible
supply. OF illuminating oil above, ground
was 90. ZOO, 900 b~arrels-because hat mas
steadily decreased until Ia ten years there
are left but about 10. 200. 900 barrels and that
IN said 10 be steadily decreasing at the rate
Of about a75 900 barrels per month-be-
cause already a great wall and cry goes
up from the great Standard On Irust,
We are out OF oil The supply fails to meet
the demand!"
PLAIN STATEMENT OF FACTS.
These are facts that no man can gainsay'
There exists to-day a ready emand Tor
Illuminating oil. II does not need To be
created. II was created before the oil
was found.
These being the facts in the case as the
oil market stands to-day, II was indeed
an alarming proposition facing the coun,
try, and so IL seems that the discovery of
this vast new Illuminating oil field by sam
Crowther must have been -providentlal'
And so the question in the face OF these
actual figures, why does ~ promise Rrea'
returns TO its sha reholders?' answers itself,
and the reply can only he that thu profits
of the King-Crowther Corporation VIII
be commensurate with the amount OF oil
which II takes from the ground, and that
amount depends only on the ability OF lhe
CORPORATION TO sink wells. IL II sinks 100
wells, even then the figures dazzle. and
the services of the most expert mathe-
matician would be required TO make known
the profits. Yet when one considers that
this new corporation could sink on It's own
holdings 10000 wells without In any manner
locating one close TO another. then II II
indeed that the mathematician who en-
deavors 70 say what the dividends 70 share
holders would be gets lost in his figures
and must admit that the results OF stu
pendous operations OF that kline are SIMPLY
beyond estimation.
WHY UNLIKE OTHERS.
But the last question Is the one that
appeals most strongly to the lnvestornMny
Is the King-Crowther Corporation different
from any other Of the countless many oil
companiesp"
Whyf-well, because It has already pros
pected and found oil-because Sam Crowther
spent seven years OF his time, and ne and
his associates paid out nearly slOO,Wo IN
gold in prospecting and buying and leasing
land because by doing this. the land as IT
stands to-day has been proved beyond any
question of doubt to be rich, high grade
illuminating oil land, and therefore the cor
poration was able TO begin business with
tangible assets of great value-because
people who invest their money in stock OF
the King-Crowther Corporation are given
absolute assurance that every dollar so m
vested will be used by the corporation TO
produce oil-to buy machinery, pipe ana
other equipment, and not for the purpose
of prospecting where there may or may not
be possibilit les Of striking oil -because all
the experimental, prospecting and pre-
lminarv work has been done and paid Tor
because the oil has been found ana tine
oil belt located.
An oFPER TO THE pUBLrc.
