DON'T FEAR EXPENStS.
Tho man who gives more thought to por.sblo
expense u1n hc does to possible profit never
uoI,rs 90 good Investment
The man who fears to assume obligations
never accumulatcs; he remains about where ho
started a dependent In every eenae Of the
word
The man who fears to lay sound mortgage
nm hls future In order 10 become a homo owner
remains a rcnter
No man ovcr went far In this world without
usinE crcdit--using It wisely. 60 bc sure, but
using It lust tho same.
You know umid souls who have a good
trade and a good income yet who have feared
10 purchase homo on installmonls through
fear that "something might happen" and cause
them 10 lose IT, They are growing old without
ever having tasted the delight OF property
sponsibtlIty. They are sull renters, they viii
always be.
The big point OF given opportunity Ia not
tho expense involved but the value OF the
dcrtaklnE and the reasonable expectation OF
profit
Men rarely purchase u business because OF
what It has done or ls doing: they purchase an
opportunity and capitalize field. In like man
man makes original investment for
any other purpose than to cultivate THE field at
hand.
The failures Of life can't keep thoir eyes Off
the expense or obligations lnvolv>d in given
opportunity. The suocesscs In life look only
at the profit possibilities,
TO this good moment Tulsa has always kcrt
It's eyes on the prospective profits and has ro-
mancd stoloy indifferent to the costs. And
Tulsa has not once made a costly mistake
Time and again tho tlmId have said It can't he
done But Tulsa went ahead and ala it. This
waB 40 when tho paving movement first was
launched. The cry that the citizen could
not pay the taxes, that the town would become
bankrupt But lnveatment never vet bankruptod
au individual or a community It ls waste and
graft and lack Of enterprise that bankrurts.
Tho same cry YVES hoard when we constructed
a great bridge across the Arkansas and thus
opened an immousc trade territory for prompt
conquest II heard again whom we bulded
"a modern courthouse, when we bought a coll
lego, whom we purchased outright competing
uucs ~ rail transportation. II has been heard
ON every occnsion whore money was to be OK
pended in building bigger and better. And In
every instance the Eloomcrs have lived to rcc
their mistake and clip coupons Of dividends
from the far-sceng aud progressive spirit which
hos driven tho community onward until It has
outstrippcd an rivals
Investment not expense! Sound investment
always pays dividends The water bonds CON
stltuto nothing but an invosmcnt--thc sound
est Tulsa has ever undertaken. The exporsc IS
precisely nothing in comparison with the value
OF tho completed project and the profits GER
t5in to follow.
Tulsa has invested kings ransom In school
plants aud an educational system. We are an
paving on IL now and will continue to do so.
But at any given moment that property could
be sold at magnificent profit over It's cost
Can you call that EXPENSE And the while
this Investment has educated our youth and
attracted population 10 Us as nothing clsc
The spavinaw water project when compict-
ed will possess an instant value far in excess
OF tho cost, I'm the meantime We viii have II
To use and enjoy what is an unlimited supply
of pure, sweet sparkling water through your
rawcet worth to you Dcr YEAR, Figure thar out,
and leave all tho community advantage to one
side. then estimate the cost TO you under the
water boards plans and vote accordingly
