Genuine Opportunities
Never Wait Nor Bargain

If you only had an army to lead you,
said when child, you would be great
leader.
If you only had the chance you would
become rich '- -
quit wishing for riches--you have the
opportunity before you now, the great
est opportunity you have ever had and
perhaps ever will have. The great ques-
ton is have you the COURAGE to grasp
NOW.
all the Biologists who have examined
the formations in New Mexico say that
the indications point to some wonderful
oil discoveries.
1t is the opinion of Biologists that
there will be five oil fields in New Mex
leo. t.. n tasa
personally / 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.
1t is quite natural for the average read
er to be skeptical; but am not saying
this to the average reader. am telling
it to YOU. ,.sy-sp
each of us see things in our own way.
When the Wright Bros. said they could
perfect heavier-than-air machine that
would fly, people laughed at them. When
Cyrus Field said he could lay cable
across the Atlantic he was the favorite
lunatic of the decade When Marconi
introduced wireless to the scientific world
he was regarded as a fraud. When
Thomas Edison said he could do the
wonders he has since done he was con-
sidered an old man in his dotage. West
inghouse was considered a fool and when
Bell invented the telephone and tried to
interest capital he was elected from
w orbits office.
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
of our biggest producing oil states.
don't let anyone tell you that there is
no oil in New Mexico. If you want to
speculate in oil take a 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
pany be confined to development work
alone. The articles of this company are
broad, permitting us to engage in all
branches of the oil business refineries,
pipelines, tank cars, etc. That is where
the money is made in the oil business.
in other words, l expect to see the
Montezuma Petroleum Company the
biggest oil company in the southwest if
not in the United States.
ACT on your own judgment. Don't let
anyone tell you fairy tales about the i'm
possibility of finding of oil in New Mex
leo.
to make real money man must think
for himself. Fortunes are built on deals
that are largely the impulse of the mo-
ment. Those who take questions to bed
with them are not the ones that are pak-
ing the most money in oil. 1t is better to
fail once in while than never to have
the courage to succeed. COURAGE is
as much necessity to man who would
build up a fortune as it is to soldier
on the battlefield.
opportunities like this are only for
those who are capable of decision.
