GREENWAY STILL BOOSTING
FOR COPPER ROAD SIGNS

BiSBEE. Oct. 8. AS means Of
helping the campaign to stimula:e tee
use of copper products. copper road
signs will be -eet instead OF steel
c:..vs throughout Arizona. is plans now
under consideration by Col. John c.
Graenway and the Automobile Club Of
Arizona are carried to completion.
Ever since the campaign to Buy
Something Made of Copper" was be-
gun, officers of the association have
taken an interest in suggestions offer
ed calling for the use of copper in
stead of steel, not only for road signs
but for auto license plates as well.
Handsome and durable copper road
signs have been received by the clubs
headquarters as the first products OF
the big copper plant at Ajo The
chief objection, and one which re-
mains to be overcome, is that of cost
The value of the metal in these signs
alone is such as to attract the eye
OF the itinerant junkman, and it is
feared that such signs would not stay
put for any great duration of time,
however we'll they might wear.
Seek inexpensive Alloy.
Colonel Greenway's experts are now
working out the. problem of how to
manufacture a road sign out OF cop
per, or possibly some alloy Of copper,
which will be durable and at the same
time inexpensive. II such e sign
can be produced at a cost not great
" in excess Of that which is charged
for enameled steel signs, it will be
hailed with appreciation by the Auto
mobile Club of Arizona.
And if these signs prove practical
in Arizona II is thought that the type
will be adopted by other states, thus
opening up a new use for copper
which will be a long step forward
in the campaign to widen the market
for the red metal. The field is IN
limited and taken into consideration
with the possibility Of copper's use
| in the manufacture OF license number
plates will mean much for the future
OF the copper industry in Arizona,
IL is predicted.

ESTABLISHED COMPANIES
STRONGER THAN EVER,
STATES j. c. LUCEY

That the oil business is to witness
a distinct revival and even period
of prosperity is the opinion of j. G.
Lucey, president Of the Lucey Manu-
featuring Company. makers Of oil
we'll supplies. In an interview recent
ly published Mr. Lucey stated that he
behevevs that the oil industry will
find it necessary by next spring 10
make up in production what will be
lost during the present period OF
depression to meet a greatly Increased
demand for oil throughout the world.
He is optimistic on the oil industry,
over the next five years, but says
that it is probable that earnings Will
be limited this year because operat-
ing expenses have not dropped as
much as crude oil prices. His opinion
is that the situation at present is not
as bad as is indicated by recent crude
OIL price reductions. The continuance
of heavy oil production, he states,
seems to bear out the fact that pro-
ducers are making some money, and
he states that the production is coming
largely from wells drilled, or in pro-
cess of drilling, before prices were
cut and that the oil coming from them
now is almost clear profit to the pro-
ducers, the initial cost Of drilling
having been covered before the reduc-
tion Of prices went into effect
In the opinion Of Mr.. Lucey. present
stocks Of crude oil are none too large
If what should be considered good
working stocks Of oil in storage above
ground is taken into account, as
these working stocks should always
be at least 100000, 900 barrels for the
whole country, while the margin
over this amount at present, including
Mexican oil in storage, is but about
$1,000, 900 barrels, which, he states, is
not much more than one months
supply.
Mr.. Lucey points out that the oil
industry did not over-expend during
tine war as much as some other lines
and thinks that when the change In
oil conditions comes it will come sud
denly and that it is possible that the
industry will see boom period such
as that Of 1919 and the first part Of
| 1920. He joins with other prominent
oil men in pointing out that this /:
the time investments should be made
in the oil industry. Summing up, Mr.
Lucey believed that the oil industr!
at present is on fundamentally

FUTURE PRICE FOR CRUDE
HIGHER THAN EVEr.

In a recent issue of the Invest
ment Bulletin" Henry L. Doherty'
president of the Cities Service Com
pany, in connection with the recent
events in the crude oil industry,
speaks as follows:
"Oil consumption is gaining at a
rapid rate, giving promise OF soon
outrunning even our present record
Of production. Drilling is falling OH
at Il rapid rate, and as much OF our
present production Is flush produc-
ton, fully one-third OF all produc-
ton east Of the Rockies being from
wells drilled in the past year and
fully fifty per cent from wells drilled
in the past two years, We are bound
soon to have a falling off in pro-
duction at a phenomenal rate.
production and importation Of Oil
is running at practically maximum
amount in all previous history. and
yet in April only 100000 barrels OF
crude oil went into storage. In other
words, consumption in April was AT
rate Of So per cent OF production
and still gaining, indicating that even
under depressed business conditions
and lessened foreign demand con-
sumption should again exceed even
the present production, while the
great slump that hal already taken
place in drilling is bound 10 cause
a falling off in production.
What other line Of business coulu
show such fundamental strength that
II its production was practically al
the highest point in history its con-
sumption would be IS per cent OF
all that could be produced and gotten
10 the markets? The lower the price
paid for crude now and the longer
the low prices are continued the
higher the price must be later on,
for we are facing an oil famine II
these low prices are long continued
