saving much time. and may be made
by an active worker in a couple of
hours.

Mammoth Corporation to
Finance Infant Industries
TuLSa,S Greatest

Many important events have oc-
CURED In Tulsa. Events that have
left the impress OF their import
nncc not only on Tulsa, but upon
the state and In some instances
upon the nation generally, but the
most important occurrence In tho
entire history Of this city occurred
last night at dinner given by the
directors Of the chamber Of COM
mcrcc and attended by over one
hundred Of the leading spirits
which have made Tulsa the city
which IL already Is and give new
impetus 10 what II will be In the
future.
AZ the meeting last night the
lnItlaf steps were taken for the
organization Of million dollar
corporation for the purpose Of aid
ing and encouraging the pcrma-
ncnt industries now seeking TO To-
cate here. Not In the form Of
bonuses but ns subscriptions on an
investment basis In such industries
a. can bc depended upon to succeed
on their merits. The get rich quick
conccrns or uOsc that can not
stand the acid tc-t of Conservative
and analytical investigation need
not apply.
No such comprehensive plan
perhaps was ever before under
taken by any city big or little
throughout the length and breadth
OF the land and the enthusiasm Of
the real Tulsa builders who were
present at last nights meeting IL a
guarantee OF Its success. Briefly
the plan outlined fast night IL 10
organize n million dollar corpora
ton headed by the president OF
each OF the banks OF the city. X,
VI. McFarlin and five other repre-
sentative citizens 10 comprise the
permanent board OF directors who
will invest the moneys OF the con-
cern with tho same degree Of care
and interest they would exercise in
making investments individually,
thus guarding against any wildcat
promotion propositions.
Each stockholdcr in the parent
orgRnlzationw will share In the profits
of the individual corporations that
are backed by the Tulsa Financial
corporation.
II represents an investment that
is sound, safe and logical.
Every Tulsa citizen with n desire
TO better himself and the commun-
ity, rich and moderate In means,
should be interested in II, buying
stock TO the limit. II represents
nm opportunity for Investment that
Ii seldom offered.
