PROTECTION FOR
OIL STOCK BUYERS
A Plan by Which the Investor Is
Fully Protected Against Amy
Possible Loss of His Money

The time has arrived when a COM
pany wishing to raise money by the
sale of its stock t. the public must
do something more than say, we
have stock for sale, buy 1t quick before
1t is all gone" Is a thing of the past.
The display of beautiful stationery and
nicely worded letters announcing the
fact that I'VE have so many hundred
acres of land and our officers are the
Honorable so and So" don't work as
we'll as 1t use to. There are too many
people from Missouri that must be
shown" and 1t is right that they
should be shown.
NOT A GAMBLE
There are many people who look
upon stock buying as a gamble, which
is true along the old lines of selling
and buying, but If these same people
were approached with sound busi-
ness proposition in a form that would
positively prove to them that their
money invested in oil stock is as safe
as in any bank, they would be justi-
fed in putting aside their fear of risk.
The oil business is just as legitimate
as any mercantile business, and the
use of oil is fast becoming as great
necessity as bread and meat, for
what would either of these be without
fuel to cook them? The minister be-
fore delivering his Sunday sermon eats
his breakfast which was cooked by oil.
We travel in more comfort and less
delay by the use of this great fuel
which nature has been so generous to
California with
We cannot all be the owners of an
oil well or conduct an oil company,
but we can assist in the development
OF this great industry if we are fully
protected against the loss Of our
money. Some companies have awak-
,tC nnt
and have been offering oil stock with
guarantee, the guarantee being in
the form of a bond put in bank with
contract or condition attached there
to to the effect that the buyer OF the
stock will become the owner of the
bond if the company fails to make
good in so many years This is bet
ter than no guarantee at all, but there
are few investors who think to ask
the number of years this bond is is
sued for or the cash valne 1t will be
to them If the company fails to make
good. This feature has been over
come and the investor Is given as good
a guarantee as could be asked for by
company recently organized. They
believe that the investor should nave
all that is coming to him, and without
any strings attached to it, namely,
both the stock and the bond at the
same time. Briefly, their plan Is TO
sell the stock at the lowest possible
price and give a 12-year prepaid gold
bond in the full sum OF the investment
at the same time. the bond being sup
piled by two of the strongest hnanciai
institutions in California. They have
spared no effort and left no stone un-
turned In order to perfect this system
to the full benefit of their stockholders.
The splendid feature of this Is 1t re-
moves every element of speculation on
the principal invested. and If there Is
any element of speculation at all IL
would be on the income only. Ihls
conpany's property Is proven and pat
ented land in the highest grade oil ter
ritory in California.
In speaking with Mr.. Chas. w. NC
Donald, the president of this company,
he saws: 1--WE find this to be most
satisfactory plan in every respect. 1t
enables us to sell our stock direct
through the office without having to
pav the usual commission to sales
men, thereby causing a great saving
to the company which means saving
to all stockholders. The officers re-
ceiye no salaries, and our office ex-
nense is very small. We cannot see
what objection even the most conserv-
ative could have against investing
their money with us on this plan We
have already disposed of considerable
stock. Full information may be had
at our office by mail or telephone.
