Bisbee daily review., 1920-04-04

! I recognize that NATURE has en- dowed me with certain qualities and, therefore, there are certain obligations resting upon me to fulfill. And I leave it to our imagination to answer the question or solve the prob ! lem.
 l The fact that some ten thousand people of all walks of life, from the poorest washwoman, the most Hitter ate lahorer, the alien of twenty nation alities. to the lawyer, the banker, the business man; men and women of every kind and character, the teacher, the preacher, and the millionaire, thou sands of whom are here at home in Texas. and other thousands scattered { everywhere, have furnished me from ! ten dollars to ten thousand-each in real money-upon, my word, from my word, from my printed statements 1 without ever having met me personal ly, suggests that there must be real reason. The answer is up to you. The entire business enterprises which I represent and control today were FOUNDED UPON MERIT, with out capital, and worked out along ny own ideas.
 The entire Abner Davis organization has been BUILT UPON CONFIDENCE that the thousands who have backed me had in my experience and ability ! to succeed.
 1 The business will be OPERATED 1 UPON HONOR, and everyone given a real run for their money. This busi- ness is held by me as the sole trustee representing those who furnish me money.
 That the Consolidated Syndicate of 1ers wonderful opportunity for the saf- est, surest and biggest speculative in- Vestment in the oil world today, is my firm belief. The Pecos Valley Oil Country is destined to become the most famous of the fortune producing oil fields on earth, is my prediction. believe its deep sand gushers will rival Tampico, and that the oil will be of the high gravity shown by the medium shallow producers already brought in
 MANY FAILURES | If you will read the advertisements that ] appeared a year ago, of a thousand oiI concerns that have since gone out of bus which any good biograuher could compile volume of Who is Who. | OIL CEMETERY i The sad feature is, however that these names name; of bankers. judges doctors. and prominent citlzens represent only the 1 tombstones in the oil cemetery.
 NO EXPERIENCES
 Eelefences have none. I never use the names of bankers or prominent men to give prestige to my enterprises
 am alone responsible for all of my business affairs. l stand solely upon my own word and my record is an open book never operated under camouflaged com ! pany names with a string of high sound ing names to fool the public and boost nElf InNN loot hold in the oil business and I shall not begin now when my name and my lame eclipse all advertised oil concerns in l Texas.
 DANGER FROM PROMINENT MEN 1, l make the statement that there has been more crooked deals and more money extracted from the public through bank : references and long lists of prominent men acting aS dummy directors with con 1 sequer.- greater loss to the investor tl. n through any other devices known to the ! STRONG CHALLENGE II challenge every man and every pro- motion company to make a statement as strong as the following Of the ten thou sand people who have entrusted their money to me, not one has done so through bank or other references. or because of the names of prominent men. | A RECORD WITHOUT A PARALLEL l. l make this unqualified statement that \ there has never been one single dollar of stock or other security issued by me to
 
 or any one else on earth except for cal sh on the exact and same basis that every other investor paid in his money. When Nou do business with me you do SO on a | basis of man to man-you take your chances with me. take the full respon- II sibility.
 II IUCYY DOG l Action and Judgemen; are the sole req < uisites for success in the oil game The oil business is one of action. The general ! in charge must be one who is willing to n an Gf fg- C ! the public will declare him lucky dog 1 If wrong. he must go over the top and [ capture another trench before the public i finds out he made mistake. Action alone will win
