Oil Men, Not Stock Brokers
The difference between an oil busi-
ness and a stock business was be-
ginning to dawn on me. Here are
practical, experienced managers, who
are trained in the oil industry. Their
companies are conducted along the
lines which years of experience have
proven trustworthy. Every well that
is bored, every new tract acquired, is
the result of careful deliberation and
close scrutiny of existing conditions.
On the other hand. how often we
hear it said: "Yes, l know So-and-So.
Fine chap, personally clean and hon
est. But he's not an oil man. His
business is to sell stock. Selling oil
is a secondary. consideration"
