A RECORD WITHOUT PARALLEL.

A RECORD WITHOUT PARAGG6Ls
make this unqualified statement
that there has never been one single
dollar of stock or other security issued
by me to any banker, newspaper, prom
inent citizen or anyone else on earth
except for cash on the exact and same
basis that every other investor paid in
his money. When you do business with
me you do so on basis of man TO
man-you take your chances with me.
l take the full responsibility.
LUCKY DOG.
Action and Judgment are the sole
requisites for success in the oil game.
The oil business Is one of action. The
general in charge must be one who. Is
willing to advance and stand his
ground, If right. the public will de-
clare him lucky dog. If wrong, he
must go over the top and capture an
out he made mistake. Action alone
will win. -
QUICK ACTION NECESSARY.
The fortunes are to be made by grasp
ing the opportunities when presented;
to wait twelve hours-and indeed twelve
minutes-is often fatal when big oil
strikes are reported. The man who
must call meeting OF his board of d
rectors or even consult his associate of =
ficers viii usually find the real oppor-
tunity out of reach by the time he is
ready to act. l am talking about that
part of the oil business depending upon
new fields or getting in when advance
information of new strikes comes,
where a little money will win the big
stakes, the thousand or ten thousand
to one.
FEW DOLLARS TO WIN.
and wise for the great Oil Trusts that
have millions to go into the market and
buy proven property, but l am repre-
senting that class Of people who are
willing to take a chance with few
dollars to draw down a small fortune
without having to wait q lifetime for
results. Action is the keynote. Re
suits count. Do 1t now is a good motto.
Let us live now before we die.
WARNlNo-NoW AND FOREVER.
You may conclude I am too big a
gambler and too wild in my imagination
to be safe to handle your money-but
might as well remind you now If you
expect to get rich from oil through the
calms quiet advice OF your banker or
lawyer, don't write your check for me.
