the record this company has
made in the sale of its stock
heretofore will be as nothing
when compared to the amount of
stock that will be sold within the
next six or seven days.
We have repeatedly told the pub
lie to buy Buick Oil. We told you
to do this when the shares were 50
cents. and thousands of stockhold-
ers did so. We now tell you TO do
the same when the stock is IS
cents. for it is certainly going
higher.
The income which we receive
from the sale of oil from our first
well will not only enable this COM
pany to sink its future wells in
more rapid manner, but this single
well has had the influence OF
stamping the Buick property as
proven and valuable property. The
Buick oil stock has now been
taken out OF the non-producing
We do not intend to rest upon our
oars, but we do say that the No.
well proves absolutely the value of
the Buick oil holdings of $40 acres.
Work Is soon to be started upon
our 56O-acre holdings in the Sunset
Security field, and a little later we
shall begin operations on our 10
d1lt NidNO' iONuNFd III Nllt MAI lSOpd
Sunset field. We have told you
about the Buick Midway. we now
tell you about our 560-acre tract
and our 40-acre tract. The oil men
of the Midway field are wildly en-
thusiastic over the bringing in OF
the Buick Midway No. 1 well. This
well has been the center of at
traction for the past ten days, and
our reports from the oil fields have
that nj nErffn-
ment has prevailed among owners
of oil lands adjacent to the Buick
property. Upon one side of US the
Southern Pacific Is reported to
have paid three million dollars for
a tract of land: uDOn the other IS
the California Midway, which has
already brought in one gusher and
is now down within a few hundred
feet of oil sands. The bringing IN
of the Buick Midway we'll has
proven this entire region. No won-
der there is eXcitement. For those
who are lucky enough to own land
in this vicinity one can feel almost
certain that every acre will net
them thousands uDon thousands of
dollars per day in income
The Deople of the United States
have had faith in D. y. Buick. the
founder and inventor of the Buick
automobile. Thew have been in
Strumental in the bringing in OF
the Buick Midway well. for they
have purchased Buick Oh shares
because of the record of D. D.
Buick. Now that Mr.. Bucks pre-
dictions have come true in one in

in this issue we intend to tell the
story of the bringing in Of this
well in full detail. We hope to be

we'll as it came in, and We will be
glad to see that each and every

pense.
My advice to every man and wo-
man who reads this advertisement
is to inform yourself more of Buick
Oil If you are not satisfied that
now is the time 20 buy this Com
pany's shares.
We have published a great book
entitled The Land Where Oil Is
King" and in this book you will
find the most interesting literature
with respect to the California oil
fields you have ever read. 1t gives

most beyond belief, but which are
absolute proofs, and even the chill
dren in California are well verSed
in this knowledge. Those things
which look to these Eastern men az
almost unbelievable are matters OF
everyday interest to people who live
in and around the great oil fields.
Men who but a few months or
years ago were working for wages
are today rich because of the in
vcstments and money they have
made out of the California oil COM
panies. Just n few hundred dollars
vested in some of these companies
have netted the stockholders thous-
ands of dollars in profits per year,
and what l expect to do before very
long is to prove to the world the
holdings of the Buick Oil Company
are among the richest in the State
The great book, which we Will
serd free, tells You of all these
questions, and we will also send
copy OF little magazine published
every two weeks. which we call
the Buick Oil News, and this publi-
cation is filled with the news items, 4
not only of the Buick Oil Com
pany, but of all news matter which
is Of importance to the oil indus
try.

pom below for as many shares as
you desire.

have been attacking Buick Oil and
who have been endeavoring to dis
satisfy its stockholders.
What do you think the earnings
of the Buick Oil Company will be
when we have 10 wells upon the
Buick Midway forty, all of them
bringing in 1850 to 5000 barrels of
oil or more per day? Selling our oil
at Soc per barrel means that We
$3.50 per day for each and every
well put down If these wells run
1850 to 5000 barrels per day. This
means that our income would be
on one acre alone $500 to 5000 per
day, or $2.742.50O to &,4S5,0O per
year. If such an income is possible
upon one acre, what will the in
come be upon forty acres, and
every tract in the Midway tract is.
in our opinion, equal to the land
upon which our Buick Midway No.
l well is located. No man alive
can figure out the profits to be de-
rived from Buick oil. They are
merely speculative.
We feel that Buick Oil stock will
go to several times its present
price and we fully anticipate being
able to return to our stockholders,
in the nature of large dividends,
ample profit upon their investment,
simply from several of these wells.
When our 560-acre holdings are
being operated. together with the
40-acre Maricopa Sunset, and after
We have several other wells gush-
ing upon our Midway tract, the
earning power of Buick OIL stock
will be colossal.
Now is the time to buy Buick
shares Mt 70 cents. Do not wait a
single day. Do not delay, but pur-
chase as many of these shares as
your present income and mode of
life will enable you to do. 1t is
our opinion that this company will
not have to sell very much more
of its stock. and We believe from
the thousands upon thousands of
letters which we have received in
the past, and are receiving today
from all sections of this country,
that we will exhaust every share
we have for sale within a very
short time.
Our No. we'll, which will be
started Immediately, should reach
the oil body in 120 days, and No. 8
well should come in within q short
time thereafter. 1t is our hope and
ambition to have three producing
wells on Buick Midway 10 by the
lieve that when these wells are pro-
ducing that this company's stock
cannot be purchased for two or
three times the price it is selling at
today, for then it should be earning
very large dividends.
All questions of experiment are
now in the past. The future of this
company resolves itself down to a
purely arith1letical question.
This company publishes a little
paper-called the Quick OIL News"
which appears twice each month.

POLICEMAN WINS RICH WIFE
Miss Morosini, New York Girl, Who
Has Millions, Becomes Traffic
Officers Bride.

New ork.--Announcement was re-
Gently made of the marriage of Miss
Giulia P Morosini, daughter of the
late Giovanni P Morosini, a multi-mil-
lionaire banker, to Arthur Werner.
The groom was a New York traffic
policeman, whose beat included the
Harlem speedway. While on duty there
one morning he spied runaway team
that was being driven by Miss Moro
SIM. Werner stopped the horses, at
the risk of his life, but in the excite
ment he disappeared before Miss Moro
SIM learned his name. Mr.. Morosini
to show gratitude to the man who had
saved his daughter from death, went
to the Speedway police station the
next day with Miss Morosini, who pick
ed out Werner from among the plat
Don Of mounted men.
A short time after the runaway Ver-
ner received an invitation to call At the
Morosini home. The acquaintance thus
formed ripened into friendship. When

and arrested him.
One sixteen-year-old girl, Anna O..
Bromley, student at Uniontown, Pa,
received a silver medal and was
awarded $4,000, to be expended as
