all the Biologists who have examined
the formations in New Mexico say that
the indications point to some wonderful
oil discoveries.
it is the opinion of Biologists that
there will be five oil fields in New Mex
leo.
personally I am of the opinion that
there will be at least three big produc-
ing fields, perhaps even bigger than any
in Texas or Oklahoma today.

think back few years. Who believed
there was oil in Texas eighteen years
ago? Only ten years ago people laugh
ed when anyone said there was oil in
Wyoming. Yet today Wyoming is one

don't let anyone, tell you that there is
no oil in New Mexico. If you want to
speculate in oil take chance with this
company.
"a company that stakes it's chances on
drilling only one or two wells has small
chances of success.
this company will not stop at drilling
two or three wells nor will it confne all
its operations to one locality. If there
are five or more fields developed in New
Mexico we plan to operate in all these
fields.
nor will the operations of this COM

for himself. Fortunes are built on deals
that are largely the impulse of the mo-

fail once in while than never to have
the courage to succeed. COURAGE, is
as much necessity to man who would
build up fortune as it is to soldier
on the battlefield.
opportunities like this are only for
those who are capable of decision.
