The spring pole rig used along Oil creek
has given place to modern machinery, op-
Grated by carefully trained men, The OK
trains that hauled oil in barrels over roads
unworthy of the name have been succeeded
by thousands of miles of steel. pipe line,
great trains of oil tanks and the modern
oil carrying ships, whose capacity in some
cases is over $4,000 barrels.
Everything that coal has done for the
east, crude oil is doing for California, and
since its general use, less than ten years
ago, ways and means have been devised
to use crude oil in California, the same
as coal is used in other parts of the United
States, and the public at large have shown
their appreciation of its value by the adop-
ton of crude oil wherever fuel is needed.
AS result of this a stream of gold is dis
tributed in California to holders of Cali
fornia Oil company stocks, which amounts
to many millions of dollars per year.
W. W. Orchutt, one of the most promi-
nent consulted engineers and .geologists
in this country, in a recent report on a
California Oil company, had the follow
ing to say about California oil lands:
There is no place in the world where the
oil measures are amply and thoroughly
saturated as in California. This makes

as 120 acres the production today has been

land still producing heavily.

have done for others they will do for you,
for really only the surface of the posi-
bilities of California oil have been scraped.
There are today numerous new companies
just starting to develop their land, in which
stock can be bought at extremely low figures.
Within two years we will undoubtedly find
the stock of the great majority of these
companies listed on the stock exchanges and
paying the same kind of generous dividends
that so many of the other companies are
paying after perhaps only two years
of operation.
All this is possibly interesting reading,
and we trust that truths given here will
sink deeply into the hearts of our readers,
and that they will start on the comparatively
easy road to making money by having the
optimism and courage to make investment
in some good California oil stock"
NOW
We have shown that you should be
an optimist, at least as far as CALI
fornia oil is concerned. Now, you be-
ing an optimist, we will tell about ono
of the companies that will soon stand,
if not at the head, at least very near
the head of the California Oil Producing
companies, and that is the California
Crude OH company. This Company has
purchased thousands of acres of land in
the Coalinga Oil district, which is recog-
nized 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 a question of a short time until
the stock will be selling at par. We
advise the early purchase at 90 cents.
Remember this stock goes to so cents
on the 18th of May and not share can
re bought for less after that date. Now,
don't hesitate. Buy now, and do so quick.

The Optimist Versus
The Pessimist

1.-THE optimist lives under clear sky,
the pessimist lives in a fog. The pessi-
mist is confused; he hardly knows where
to CO. what to do how to act; the opti-
NIT is in tune with the harmonies of ma
ture and discerns distinctly the onward path
that lies before him. The pessimist hest
tates, and loses both time and opportunity;
the optimst 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 pessi-
mist curbs his energies and concentrates his
whole attention upon failure; the optimist
gives all his thought and power to the at
tainment of success and arouses his faculties
and forces to the highest point of efficiency
The pessimst 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 every
body. the pessimist is a wet blanket The
pessimist pours cold water on the fires of
his own ability; the optimist adds fuel to
The Lake County times. [volume] (Hammond, Ind.) 1906-1933, 1910-05-21

those fires The pessimist links his mind
to everything that is losing ground; the
optimist lives, thinks and works with every
thing that is determined to press on. The
pessiniist places a damper on everything;
the optimist gives life, fire and go to every
thing. The pessimist repels everything; the
optimist attracts everything. The pessimist
fights the wrong, the optimist works to in
crease the power of the right. The optimist
is a building force; the pessimist is always
an obstacle in the way of progress. The
pessimist lives in a dark, soggy, unpro-
ductive world, the optimist lives in that
mental sunshine that makes all things
grow
Don't you appreciate that the optimist
is the successful man9 The optinist is
the man who invests for he believes
some good will come from such an in
vestment. and as every real fortune that
ever was made resulted from investment,
it is optimism that makes success.
The pessimist is the man who looks
with suspicion upon all investment op-
portunities, and while he is hemming
and having and failing to act. an opti-
mist grasps the opportunity, makes his
investment, and gets his start in life.
Do you realize how true all this is?
It required generous supply of op-
timism for men to 60 ahead and de-
velop what is today the greatest wealth
producer in the world-California Oil
Lands-but their optimism has been re-
paid.
Allen G. Nichols, editor of the "Oil
Industry" gives few 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 industry
in the United States has already exported
more than $4,000, 100000 worth of the re-
fined material In other words, in fifty
years the total amount received for refined
oil exported has been greater than the value
of the entire production of gold in the
United States since Columbus discovered
America. Since 1866, the year in which sixty
small casks were sent to France as an ex-
detrimental shipment, the amount exported
has been greater in value than the produc-
ton of gold in the entire world for the same
period. Within the memory of living man
the infant has grown to a giant industry
that gives employment to 10000 men in the
fields and reineres alone. and whose an
nual pay roll amounts to millions of dollars.

For making big money, there is
nothing in the investment world today
that will bear comparison for moment
with the opportunities afforded by Cali
fornia 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 earrings the oil wells
have distanced the gold mines.
Thousands Of people enjoying COM
petence today owe their good fortune
to moderate investments in California
oil.
By still other thousands the successes
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 trouble
to look into same, you will find that this
is true.

and have worldwide reputation. Orders are
received daily from all parts Of the United
States, and frequently orders come to us from
foreign countries. The peculiar system OF cur
ing and smoking these hams has been handed
down from generation to generation OF old Vir-
ginia families, The elegant flavor is not alto
gether made, but acquired by careful treatment
and aging. None Of the Gordon-Smithfield
Hams are put on the market under year DID,
but are allowed to season for at least that time
in our smoke-houses.
Many of our orders are for cooked hams.
There is as much art I'm the process of
cooking as in the curing and seasoning.
We employ several old Virginia cooks to
attend to this.
