For some months past, 1 have realized that an oil boom was approaching in this State which would make the copper boom of 1916 fade into insignificance. It being the province of brok- CT to keep his customers in touch with condi- tOnS and give them an opportunity as far in advance as pOSSible-I investigated the pos abilities of nearly fifty companies, none of which answered the requirements. The pro- ducing companies were all held at too high a figure to allow any margin of profit and oth- CTS were not in sufficiently proven territory to warrant taking risks In this investigation I have spent considerable time and money keep ing in close touch with the situation. Irealized that the discoveries in Texas, especially in the Burkburnett field, were the most remarkable in the history of ol and sent a representative to this field to look it over thoroughly and se- lect property that would be as reasonably sure of making good in big way as possible In oil, as in anything else the element of chance plays large figure In making se- lection one can only use their best judgment in eliminating all undesirable features and en- deavoring to find property in proven territory where the element of chance is reduced to a minimum l have endeavOred in series of advertisements that have appeared in regard to the Burkey Oil Company, to tell the whole story from the beginning, giving the exact facts without personal comment, allowing the public to judge from these facts whether or not I was right in my selection. The response to the advertisements has demonstrated to me that the public has approved my selection.
 There are two facts in connection with this en- terprise that should be brought out and which largely influenced me in selecting this com pany, to which wish to call attention. A re- Sponsibe brokerage house in Fort Worth, Texas, through their representative, first brought this company to my attention. The very day he arrived in Phoenix my own repre- sentative on the ground without any connec- tion with this house, and not really knowing at the time who was behind the company, had written me advising that select this company due to its location. When the papers were presented to me for consideration before knew anything about the location of the prop erty, the fact that all the expenses in connec- ton with the Notation of the company, com mission, office rent, advertising, etc., were to be limited to 15Fo and that 85c per share (the par being S1.00) was to be absolutely used in the development of the leases.
 As well known 1t is most unusual for oil com panies in the Notation period to do this as the promoter usually gets S5c per share and the company 15c. This fact was emphasized in

 applying to the Corporation Commission for permit and in their permit for the sale of the stock, the following clause appears: ''It is further ordered; that S59o of the funds raised from the sale of the stock will be paid into the treasury of the company and no part thereof used for office advertising, promo ton, executive or incidental expenses"
 Now, the advertising being done about this company is all being paid for by myself. It is expensive advertising and am of the opinion that of the 153o allowed me as commission for selling this stock, the advertising will absorb at least 90eo. As to myself will be satisfied to pay out all 1 receive in commission for ad- vertising and be entirely content to break even on the deal This sounds like strong state ment from broker who makes his living by commissions and suggests an explanation.

Simply that believe that after this Treas ury stock has been sold, which will finance the building of two wells, that the company will get oil in profitable quantities and that due to the low capitalization, the shares will advance rapidly in value and I will make my profits by commissions obtained from the legitimate trading in the shares of the company at higher figures after it has reached the producing stage
 There is another, and as far as the public is concerned, far more important fact that this Tn connection with this Notation and 1t is the most unusual situation that have ever come across in a promotion enterprise. The company own leases on three different locations in the Burk- burnett field comprising in all 131 acres. A responsible, conservative business man from Prescott, who spent several weeks in the field recently, with the idea of taking some leases for himself and few associates, told me that he considered that the ten acres of Burllley holding No. in Block No. 72 worth $50 ,0O0 in cash without any oil having been discovered. I have corroborated this statement by getting quotations on leases in the immediate vicinity of holding No. and the minimum price that was quoted me was S5, 900 per acre.
 The organizers of the company paid S8, ,000 in cash and S10 ,000 in stock for an acre of ground in Block No. 102-a piece of property approx imately 5000 by 40O0 feet and upon which are fourteen producing wells.
