OIL SHALE INDUSTRY is
MAKING GOOD SHOWING

The oil shale distilling plant at
Debuque made its first run of IL
tons Of shale last week which resulted
in over IS gallons of oil. This indus
try bids fair to be in the future one
of the largest industries in Colorado.
There is shale enough in this state to
supply the world with oil for CEN
tury.
We understand that Delta county
parties are organizing a company and
have sent representatives to Debegue
to investigate.
Gunnison county has oil shale beds
thirty and forty feet above the sur
face with unknown depths below. 1t
is so rich in oil that the springs with
water coming from the shale is COW
cred with oil and the rock burns in a
fire.
Why not organize home company
to look into this matter? There is no
expense in finding the shale, little in
filing upon it, and the machinery for
extraction is certainly inexpensive.
Outside Of the oil, there are innumer-
able products, from parafine and
acetanilid to gasoline and coal oil,
which can all be extracted at one dis
tillations II the proper machinery is
used.
Henry Ford has just taught the
world . new lesson in efficiency, by
running the iron ore directly into

q. o. Simpson comes from
Philadelphia to Manage
Southwest Territory for
Rubber Company.

KANSAS CITY, NO, July 23rd.-A
great deal of history Of our great south
west has been made alike by men Who
came here TO seek fortune and by Others
who were sent here by reason of th-ir
capacities for doing big things.
\ most significant example of this
latter instance is the recent appoint
ment of Mr.. G. o. Simpson as mana~nr
of the interests Of The r. +. GOodrr h
Rubber Company in Kansas, Tex :,
New Mexico, Oklahoma, Colora 10,
Western Missouri. aud Southern Ne
braska, with his Office in Kansas City.
This territory is the largest in the
United States, coming under the direct
supervision of any of the Goodrich
Branch Managers, and in this conncc.
tiOn it is Interesting to note how the
big business institutions of today train
their young men for such positions Of
responsibility.
Mr.. Simpson experience with the
big rubber company began in Dcccm.
Der, 1902, when he was second assistant
paymaster at the factories in Akron.
As late as September, 1905, he had his
first sales experience as n salesman in
the Boston Branch of the Goodrich Com.
pany. His training and success as n
salesman did not pass unnoticed for in
appointment as Assistant Manager Of
the Philadelphia office, at that time one
Of the most important posts in the or.
ganization.
In less than three years he had so
completely mastered the details and
problems confronting an assistant man.
ager that he was advanced and became
Manager of the big Philadelphia
Branch which also had supervision over
the territory including Virginia, Mary.
land, Delaware, Southeastern Pennsyl-
vania and portions of New Jersey.
1t is an established and proven theory
among the nations big business men,
that in order to develop successful men
in any organization it is necessary to
give them added responsibilities from
time to time. This has been particu-
larly true of The B. F. Goodrich Rubber
Company, for like Mr.. Simpson, prac.
tically every official of this big com.
pany made his start in an inconspicuous
position at the factories at Akron.
When change in the management Of
the great southwest territory was first
contemplated Goodrich officials decided
that such responsibilities should rest
with man who had given evidence of
being able to cope with and shoulder
them, and still have capacity for do
ing even greater things.
In an interview. shortly after coming
10 Kansas City recently, Mr.. Simpson
,aid: "Like other fasteners I had
ieard great deal of the great south.
vest, but back in Pennsylvania and the
'astern states where the industries are
thiekly settled, had no idea Of the
immense resources of this territory.
imagine my surprise, when after travel
,g, practically through the big steel
ills and business sections of the east,
my first trip here, to find that the
,uthwest is really the larder of the
,tion not only in the production Of
aims but of oil. The wheat fields Of
east in comparison with those Of
southwest are mere war gardens
d this comparison applies ~ well 70
oil fields"
