In the first place, oil is the great
fuel of the Pacific Coast. Two and
one-half barrels of oil are the equal
of one ton of coal in thermal units.
In other words, the same amount of
heat can be obtained from 21a bar
rels of oil as can be obtained from
one ton of coal But the difference
in price is very great Coal produc-
ing the same amount of heat per ton
as 21a barrels of oil, costs anywhere
from Sc to So per ton wholesale Two
and one-half barrels of oil, figured
at the market delivery price of 81
per barrel, costs $250-a saving of
from $3.50 to $3.50 on every ton of
coal displaced by Oil. Under the clr-
cumstances it would be impossible
that any other fuel could be obtained
which could displace oil, and, such
being the case, We haNes a guarantee
consumption from every railroad on
the coast as long as the oil fields
hold out From government reports
we may not expect exhaustion until
some future generation. Here is
the firmest kind of foundation upon
which an industry could be laid; an
absolutely assured consumption.
The wheels of industry must turn
and at the lowest possible cost with
the cheapest utilization OF labor. This
point, economy is the utilization
of labor, leads us to the next con-
sideration, namely: money saved com
mercial companies in wages, which
would be necessary with the use On
any other fuel.
Experiments have demonstrated
the fact that it costs four times as
much to load a car with coal as DIT
does to fill a tank car with Oil. Pro
badly rs tons would be a very high
average car load of coal; fifty tons
would be acknowledgement average.
1t requires two tons of coal to- do
the same work as one ton of OIL
At this rate it has been figured out
that it would take six car loads of
coal to do the work of one car
load of DILL So much for space.
The advantages of the uses of oil
have been so greatly appreciated that
within the last very few years, in
Los Angeles county alone, over 5000
factories have adopted it. AS coal
consumers they could not possibly
have existed.
In Northern California the use Of
oil is becoming more and more gener

reliable financial agents, a steady
income; oftentimes a thousand per
cent ON the original investment This
amount of money has been realized
by no small number of men in this
state, and outside of this state,
mem interested in California's oil
fields have done as we'll The trou-
bile is generally, that it lis almost too
good to be believed, and skeptical
persons, lose the chance of lifetime
merely because they will not take the
trouble to investibate. Merely an
other California tale, is the way they
put it. And they are right-it is an
other California tale, with millions
of dollars to prove its truth.
In closing we wish to say that
we believe the time will come very
soon when oil shares will be at
premium and that the boom now
started will sweep the whole coun-
try. While not in the predicting bust
ness, it is easy enough for us to
speak what is an undoubted fact.
The California National Crude on
Company owns several thousand acre
of oil lands in the wonderful Coalinga
District, which they will develop and
are selling stock at so cents per share
to carry on the developing work.
This Company is organized on a
sound basis, with 80 per cent of the
stock in the treasury You have seel
the stock advance from 10 cents to
so cents, why wait until it advances
again, buy this stock now and save
money. Don't wait until tomorrow.

reason why you should invest in an
Oil company. Now the question arts
es: Which Company? Well, the COM
pany that should interest you is the

We call your attention to a fact
of signal Importance to yourself.
There are two positions in life for
you.
You must follow your own dictatioG
and be independent, or you must fol
low the path laid before you by some
member of the old school and follow
the old rut, and mayhap still drive
a delivery wagon.
Knowing as we do, that you are
to be Independent is our reason for
addressing you. Listen and We will
tell you how to gain that independ-
ence.
First, make your money work for
you.
Second, save from the money that
you earn from the money that works
for you, and make that work too.
Third, save from the savings from
the money that you earn from the
money of that money that works for
you and make that work also.
Everyone knows that very little car
be done from the interest that one
receives from the savings banks.
Therefore better means of invest
ment. Something that is safe yet
earning large dividends
And it is of this that we are a.
bout to talk
Surely you wouldn't care for a bet
ter investment than California Oil.
Investors in the East derive the
paltry sum of three and one-haf cent
ON their hard-earned dollar for it's
use for one year, while the stockhold,
ers in the same bank paying 31a
per cent to the depositors receive no
less than 40 per cent on their dol
lar invested in the stock of the
bank, during the same year These
figures are taken from the actual
report of the directors of one of
the wealthiest banks in New York
city, and any one who wishes to know
the truth of it can easily enough de-
termine it ON the commercial sheets
when the dividends are declared. And
the dividends so declared are large
ly derived from money invested in
California; more often than not in
the oil industry of the so-called Gold
en- State" Being interested almost
solely in oil, from which vast fortune
are realized yearly, we would like
to make statement of the reasons
why we believe that oil affords today
greater chances for gigantic legitimat
returns on investments than any 9th
er industry.
