PRIVILEGES GIVEN YOU.

! II you reserve the 81 900 Consolidate
| Syndicate membership and pay 500
CASH you get S acre lease as a bonus.
The same rule applies whether 5000
cash or any other amount you get the
acre bonus with each $50. II you take
! one or more of the 81 900 memberships
/ and pay 800 cash on each, with the
| understanding the balance is to be paid
up out Of profits from the syndicate op-
erations. and II later on you prefer not
to pay out the full amount, you can can
Gel your unpaid balance on each member
ship. take a paid-up membership certlfi-
cate for the full amount Of cash you have
paid in and have your profits come d.
rect to you instead Of being applied to
paying out the balance on your member
ship.
In this way you are sure OF a mem
bership. You are sure Of the bonus acra-
age and you can later decide whether to
let your Consolidated Syndicate mem
bership grow into the $1,000 value or
take the profits yourself as they accrue.
The object of this feature is to give
you the largest possible opportunity at
this time when a little money will go n
long way toward getting big results. but
giving you the big opportunity with the
smallest possible cash outlay at the
start.
1t is important to get the full mem-
bershlp quickly. 1t is important to get
the largest number Of acres possible I'M
der my present options and contracts to
purchase while can take advantage Of
the low price.
1t is important to get as much cash
in hand promptly as can be had because
it win enable us to lay the foundati n
and get work started on a big scale and
it Is my hope to make this the greatest
strike because 1t offers by far the grea.-
est opportunity, both in volume of posi-
blities and In returns that may be ex-
pected.
