FORTY MORE NAVAL VESSELS.
RecOmm N datiOns of the Board of
Construction.

Over and above the four warships for
which Congress directed him last session
TO prepare plans, as a basis for appropcfa-
ton at the next session, Secretary Long
has before him the recommendations OF
the board of naval construction looking to
the authorization by Congress for the build
ing of forty more naval vessels of all
classes, from battle ships down to tug
boats. The plans for the two armored
cruisers and two battle ships, projected by
Congress last session. already have been
prepared, and look to the construction OF
about 16,00o-tOn battle ships and 1000 ton
cruisers. The battle ships and cruisers ad-
ditional to these which the construction
board proposes probably will be of about
the same size and general type. The
boards complete plan is: Three seagoing
battle ships of about 10000 tons displace-
ment, two armored cruisers OF about IA $40
tons displacement, six gunboats of about
1.HO tons. six gunbOats Of about 800 TONS
six gunboats of about 300 tons, two GOLFERS
OF about 1890 tons. one repair ship OF
about 800 tons. six training ships of about
1900 tons, four picket ships of about 200
tons, four picket boats of about $50 tons
and four tugbOats.

most successful on election day unless the

Reasons Why Eastern
Consolidated Has Dis
tanced All Its COMPETE
tors.
Because it is wide awake,
pushing, aggressive oil company.
Because it is following closely
in the footsteps of the greatest oil
company in the world. the Stand
ard Oil Company, which has made
fortunes for its stockholders.
Because this company believes
in giving its stockholders chance
to realize big returns on their in
vestment. Consequently you only
pay rs cts. instead of so cts. to
$I.oo share for your stock and
thereby have the advantage of see
ing your stock double in value
within 80 days.
Because aside from the Stand
ard Oil Company there is no COM
pany offering its stock to the pub
lie today that has as much prop
erty, as good property and as big
prospects for becoming one of the
greatest oil companies in the
United States as the Eastern Con-
solidated Oil Company with east
ern brains, eastern capital and
eastern enterprise.
Because management is every
thing. Many a good enterprise
has been ruined by bad manage
ment. Eastern Consolidated will
not suffer in this particular. Its
directors are men of national repu-
tation, men whom any conserva-
tive banking or large financial in
stitution might feel proud to have
in charge Of its affairs, men who
are not fgureheads, but take an
active interest in its affairs. The
President, Hon. Ernest Cady, was
a candidate for governor of Con-
necticut and presided as Lieut..
Governor over the State Senate.
Hon. Chas. ]. Noyes of Boston

Some Important Facts
That Every Investor
Has a Right to Know.

What do you purpose to do
with the money you raise from
the sale of stock?
The Eastern Consolidated
Oil Company believes in expan-
sion. They believe with the
Standard Oil Company that
wherever is found an extra fine
oil property, secure it if money
will do it.
Has the Eastern Consolidated
accomplished anything along
these lines? If so, what has
been done and how does this
stock compare with that of
other companies?
In answer to the first ques-
ton will state that the Eastern
Consolidated has over 10000
acres of very valuable prop
perty in California. This alone
is nearly three times as much
property as is held by any
other company now offering its
stock to the public; but, in addi
ton, they have lately secured a
very valuable property in Ohio
with IS producing wells; pipe
lines from Standard Oil laid di-
rect to the tanks and all our oil
sold at good prices. Our agent
is securing the country for
other choice properties, and one
which we are now considering
is property at Spindle Top.
Texas, right in the midst of the
Big Gushers.
We will answer the second
question by asking another.
IT you had a beautiful IL
carat diamond offered YOU at a
very low figure, and another
party offered you an imitation
at double the price asked for the
genuine
Which would you rather
have?
