Pipe Line VIII Pay for Itself in
F3fobteen Months


There is only one safe way to en-
gage in the oil refining business. That
is to own and operate your own pipe
lines. That is the reason the Uncle
Sam refinery is crowding the work on
the pipe line to navigable waters. The
company as above stated. has the
right of way already secured. Fifty
five miles of the pipe is now ordered
and will be on the grounds in thirty
days There is no speculation about
building this pipe line. There is twice
over the amount of oil that can be
run over the present pipe lines facih-
ties from the Kansas and Indian Ter
ritory oil fields. There is plenty of
room for two or three more pipe lines.

conservative basis viii pay for itself

proof that when we say the stock of
this company win increase twenty
fold that we are making a cOnserva-

for $4,000 shares now before the work
develops so far as to increase the real
values several fold? Don't delay,

along. for things are moving down this
way.
