WHAT WILL YOUR OIL
STOCK BE WORTH FIVE
YEARS FROM TODAY

Ask yourself this question. There is oil
in Texas today, there will be oil here five
years from now, but how many of the oil
companies which are in business today will
be operating then? Only the fittest will sur.
vive. Will the company in which you hold
stock be among them?
There are two kinds of oil companies
hose which build for today only and those
which build for the future. The former have
spectacular but brief career; the latter
progress slowly, but surely to firm founda-
tion on which permanence is built Which
kind Of company is safest for your money
the ones which burst dazzlingly across the
oil horizon like a skyrOcket and come to
earth as quickly, or the one which selects
each stone in its foundation with care and
when certain the foundation is sure slowly
builds up great organization which grows
atronger with the years?
We are building for the future Today,
tomorrow and the next day are only steps
to our future. Like the oil business in Texas,
we are young, but we will grow old with it.
We are building for the future on founda-
ton which is strong, sure, permanent.
If you seek an investment planned to
grow stronger, better with the years, we in
vite you to join with us. The Standard Oil
Company was not made in a day; it, too, was
once STRIPPING, but it builded on a firm
foundation and grew stronger with the
years.
