Industry gives a fer pertinent facts
in a recent Issue of one of the leading
daily papers, and he writes regarding
this wonderful Oil Industry:
Only half-century old the oil in
dustry in the United States has al
ready exported more than $4,000, 000,-
900 worth OF the refined material. In
other words, in fifty years the total
amount received for refined OIL ex-
OF the entire production of gold in the
United States since Columbus discov-
cred America. Since 1866, the year in
which sixty small cacks were sent to
France as an experimental ship
ment, the amount exported has been
greater in value than the production
of gold in the entire world for the,
same period. Within the memory OF
living man the infant has grown to
giant industry that gives employ
ment to 10000 men in the fields and
refineres alone and whose annual pay
roll amounts to millions OF dollars.
The spring pole rig used along Oil
creek has given place to modern ma
chinery operated by carefully trained
men. The OK trains that hauled oil in
barrels over roads unworthy OF the
name have been succeeded by thous-
ands of miles OF steel pipe line, great
trains of oil tanks and the modern oil
carrying ships. whose capacity in some
cases is over 10000 barrels.

The Optimist Versus
The Pessimist

THE optimist lives under a clear
sky, the pessimist lives in Jog. The
pessimist is confused he hardly knows
where to- go, what to do or how to act;
the optimist is in tune with the har-
monies OF nature and disceTns dis
tinctly the onward path that lies be-
fore him. The pessimist hesitates and
loses both time and opportunity, the
optimist makes the best use OF every
thing now and builds himself up,
steadily and surely, until all adversely
is overcome and the object in view
realized. The pessimist curbs his en-
ergies and concentrates his whole at
tention upon failure; the optinist
g1ves all his Thought and power to the
attainment of success and arouses his
faculties and forces to the highest
point of efficiency. The pessimist waits
for better times, and expects to keep
on waiting; the optimist goes to work
with the best that is at hand now,
and proceeds to create better times.
The optimist is an inspiration to
everybody; the pessimist is a wet
blanket. The pessirnist pours cold
water on the fires of his own ability
the optimist adds fuel to those fires.
The pessinist links his mind to every
thing that is losing ground; the op-
timist lives, thinks and works with
everything that is determined to press
on. The pessimist places damper on
everything; the optimist gives life,
fire and go to everything. The pessi-
mist repels everything; the optimist

We have shown that you should be
an optlmist, at least as far as Cali
lorna oil is concerned. Now, you be-
ing an optimist, we will tell about
one of the companies that will soon
stand, it not at the head, at least very
near the head of the California Oil
Producing companies, and that is the
California National Crude Oil COM
pany. This Company has purchased
thousands of acres of land in the
Coalinga OH District. which is re-
oognized as the largest producing oil
district in California. 1t is selling
stock for the development of the
same. The par value OF this stock
is one dollar and the present purchase
price is 40 cents. 1t is only ques-
ton of short time until the stock
will be selling at par. We advise the
early purchase at 40 cents. Remem-
Der this stock goes to 80 cents on the
2Sth of May and not a share can be
bought for less after that date. Now
don't hesitate. Buy now, and do so
quick.

For making big money, there is
nothing in the investment world to-
day that will bear comparison for
moment with the opportunities al
forded by California oil stocks.
Dozens and scores of these stocks
are Selling today for many times the
prices at which they were originally
placed on the market.
In the advances of the past year
many of them have yielded profits of
Several hundred per cent to investors
In production and earnings the oil
wells have distanced the gold mines.
Thousands of people enjoying a
competence today owe their good for
tune to moderate investments in Cal
ifornia oil.
BY still other thousands the sue
cesses of the past will be duplicated
during the present year.
Now, don't be a pessimist and say
that this is impossible. Facts are
facts, and if you only take the trou-
BILE to look into the same, you will
find that this is true.
