! acreage near producing and drilling | the profit or enhancement in value E 1 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 your imagination to answer the question or solve the prob | lem.
 The fact that some ten thousand people of all walks of life, from the poorest washwoman, the most illit- crate laborer, the alien of twenty nationalities, to the lawyer, the banker. the business man; men and women of every kind and character, the teacher, the preacher, and the millionaire, thousands of whom are here at home in Texas, and other thousands scat tered everywhere, have furnished me from ten dollars to ten thouSand-each in real money-upon my word, from my word, from my printed statements ally, suggests that there must be a real reason. The answer is up to you.
 The entire business enterprises were FOUNDED UPON MERIT, with out capital. and worked out along my own ideas.
 The entire Abner Davis organiza- tion has been BUILT UPON CONFI- DENCE that the thousands who have backed me had in my experience and ability to succeed.
 The business will be OPERATED UPON HONOR, and everyone given 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 fers wonderful opportunity for the safest, surest and biggest speculative investment 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 thet medium shallow producers already brought in.
 MANY FAILURES.
 If you will read the advertisements that appeared a year ago. of a thousand oil concerns that have since gone out of business you will find list of names from which any good biogra- pher could compile volume of Who
 OIL CEMETERY.
 The sad feature is, however, that | these names of bankers, judges, doc tors and prominent citizens represent l only the tombstones in the oil ceme- tery.
 NO REFERENCES. q
 References I have none. I never use the names of bankers or prominent | men to give prestige to my enterprises.
 I am alone responsible for all of my business affairs. I stand solely upon my own word and my record is an open book. I never operated under company names with a string of high sounding names to fool ls mn nd even when struggling for foot hold in the oil business and I shall not be- gin now when my name and my fame eclipse all advertised oil concerns in DANGER FROM PROMINENT MEN.
 I make the statement that there has been more crooked deals and more money extracted from the public through bank references and long lists If prominent men acting as dummy di- 'ectors with consequent greater loss to he investor than through any other ievices known to the stock selling ,rafter of the country
 STRONG CHALLENGE
 I challenge every man and every pro- notion company to make a statement IS strong as the following: Of the ten housand people who have entrusted heir money to me, not one has done 70 through bank or other references, IT because of the names of prominent nen. RECORD WITHOUT A PARALLEL make this unqualified statement hat there has never been one single ollar of stock or other security issued y me to any banker, newspaper, rominent citizen or any one else on arth except for cash on the exact nd same basis that every other in- estor paid in his money. When you o business with me you do so on a asis of man to man-you take your hances with me. l. take the full 
 LUCKY DOG. Action and Judgement are the sole equisites for success in the oil game. The oil business is one of action. The eneral in charge must be one who is i, 7illing to advance and stand his round. If right, the public will de- ] lare him a lucky dog. If wrong, he lust go over the top and capture mother trench before the public finds ut he made a mistake. Action alone i'll win.
 QUICK ACTION NECESSARY. $ The fortunes are to be made by ' rasping the opportunities when pre- ented; to wait twelve hours-and in- 2 eed twelve nlinutes-is often fatal | hen big oil strikes are reported. The ian who must call a meeting of his oard of directors or even consult his Q ssociate officers will usually find the c gal opportunity out of reach by the a A DNYT.NT
