mist lives, thinks aud works with ev-

o. st is building force the pessi-
mist Is always an obstacle in the
way of progress. The pessimist
lives in dark, soegy. unproduc-
tive world, the optimist lives in that
mental sunshine that makes all things
grow"
DO you realize how true all this is?
Don't you appreciate that the optimist
is the successful man? The optimist
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 in
vestment, 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 falling to act an opti-
mist grasps the opportunity, makes his
investment, and gets his start in life.
II required a generous supply of OPP
timism for men to go ahead aud de-
velop what is today the greatest wealth
producer IN the world-California Oil
Lands-but their optimism has been
repaid.
Allen G. Nichols, editor of the "Oil
Industry gives a few pertinent facts
in recent issue of one Of the leading
daily papers, and he writes regarding
this wonderful Oil Industry:
"Only a halfcentury old the oil in
dustry in the United States has al
ready exported more than 81 ,00O,0 ,0O0.-
600 worth of the refined material. In
other words, in fifty years the total
amount received for refined oil export'
ed has been greater than the value OF
the entire production of gold in the
United States since Columbus discov-
cred America Since 1866. the year
in which sixty small casks were sent
TO France as an experimental ship
ment, the amount exported mas 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 n giant
industry that gives employment to
10000 men in the fields and refineries

alone, and whose annual payroll
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 hat hauled oil
in barrels over roads unworthy of the
name have been succeeded by thou
sands of miles OF steel pipe line, great
trains of oilstanks and the modern oil
carrying ships, whose capacity in some
cases is over 10000 barreIs.
Everything that coal has done for
the east. crude oil is doing for Cali
fornia. and since its general use, less
Than ten years ago, ways and means
have been devised 10 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
adoption of crude oil wherever fuel is
needed. As result of this stream
of gold is distributed in California TO
holders of California Oil Company
stocks. which amounts to many mil
lions of dollars per year.
w. w. Orchutt, one of the most
prominent consulted engineers and ge-
ologists in this country, in a recent
report on a California Oil Company,
had The following to say about Cali
fornia oil lands:
There is no place in the world
where the oil measures are so amply
and thoroughly saturated as in Cali
fornia. This makes California oil
wells big producers and lone-lived."
He then goes on and cites incidents
where even on large acreages. such as
100 acres. the production today has
been as high as 10000 barrels per
acre. and the land still producing heav-
lily.
The investor with sufficient iudg-
ment to see these great possibilities,
and the optimism, which generates
nerve to back this judgment will be
literally swept 10 fortune on this great
flood of oil which flows through the
proven fields of California. The opti-
mism and courage of the pioneer oil
men of California have made them
Semi-weekly herald., 1910-05-23

millionaires. They learned the truth
of that great saying; "One good in
vestment il worth n lifetime of labor"
What optimism and oil have done for
others they will do for you. for really
only the surface OF the possibilities of
California oil have been scraped
There are today numerous new com
panies 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 oil the great majority of these
companies listed on the stock ex
changes. and paying the same kind of
generous dividends that so many of the
other companies are now paying after
perhaps only two years of operation.
All this is possibly interesting read
ing, 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, al least as far as Cali
fornia oil is concerned. Now, you

one of the companies that will soon
stand, If not at the head, at least
very near the head of the California

inga Oil District, which is recognized
as the largest producing oil district in
California. 1t 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
II is only question of short time
until the stock will be selling at par
We advise the early purchase at 40
cents. Remember this stock goes to
30 cents on the 2Sth of May and not

that date Now. don't hesitate. Buy
now. and do SO quick.

For making big money. there is
nothing in the investment world today
thai will bear comparison for mo-
ment with the opportunities afforded
by California oil stocks.
Dozens and scores of these stocks
are selling today for many times the
prices al 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 com
petence~today owe their good fortune
to moderate investments in California
oil.
BY still other thousands the sue
eesses of he 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.

The Optimist Versus
The PessImist

THE optimist lives under clear
sky, The pessimist lives in fog. The
pessimist is confused; he hardly
knows where to go, what to do or
how TO act; the optimist is in tune
with the harmonies of nature and dis
Germs distinctly the onward path that
lies before him. The pessimist hesi.
tates, and loses both time and oppor-
tunity; the optimist makes the best
use of everything now, and builds him
self up, steadily and surely, until all
adversely is overcome and the object
in view realized. The Pessimist curbs
his energies and concentrates his
whole attention upon failure; the opti-
mist gives 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 opti-
mist 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 wet
blanket The pessimist pours cold wa
ter on the fires of his own ability:
the optimist adds fuel to those fires.
The pessimist links his miHd to every
thing that is losing ground; the Opt
