Great Falls tribune. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1921-current, 1922-10-28

Great Falls has the choice between
becoming a second Sapulpa, a city that
ignored the opportunity that came with
the discovery of oil in it's territory and
still is unaffected by oil development,
or another Tulsa, a city with sufficient
vision to forsee the wealth oil would
bring and which since has multiplied
many times its population. and re-

f.. Bowles, associated with operating
companies in the northern, Montana
field, in an address to oil men and ad
club members at the. clubs weekly
luncheon at Hotel Rainbow Friday.
Montana, be said, has in six years
reached the same status as an oil pro-
ducing state that vas achieved by
Wyoming in 10 years. The northern
Montana field, he declared, township
Boz W, embraces territory larger tnan
the Glenn pool Of Greek county, Okla,
and as large as the Gushing pool, IN
the same field. These pools have pro,
duced the greater portion of the oil
that has fixed Oklahoma's position as
an I'll producing state.

rels. The north Montana field will
not be into relative full production
until 1923 or 1924, but, the speaker
said, township 35-2 potentially is as
great q producer as either of the ia
nous Oklahoma pools. His estimates
ran into huge figures as he computed
possible production from a sand of the
thickness and absorption qualities found
in the north country.
1.-THE situation is facing your city"
he said, land it must be met. Great
pulpa or another Tulsa. Geographic
cally, you are situated rightly. You
can become the Tulsa of Montana if
the oil is there. In the last two
weeks, the Kelvin unburst fields pro-
ductien has increased from 375 barrels
daily to 2,145 barrels daily"
Bowles was introduced by 0. T.
DeSchon Of the Montana Oil Journal,
who referred to the speaker as "the
prophet from another country" 1T
probably is true" said DeSchon, that
a prophet is not without honor except
in his own country and that all fields
appear green at q distance. Here is
a prophet from another land, come to
tel us OF our own country.
StalIman Talks Advertising
r. j. Stallman, of the Welsh ickey
company, was introduced by j. L. Ira
cey of the Swanzey Advertising agency,
as the days speaker for the course in
practical advertising being conducted
by the club. Stallman spoke on the
subject of "Advertising-A Builder of
Good Will
"Of all the varied lines of CONNER
cial activity, perhaps one is more de-
pendent for its existence upon the good
will of the public which it serves than
banking" said Stallman. Reputation,
confidence and good will-these are the
foundations upon which our entire
banking system is built.
There still are those on every board
of directors, perhaps including your
own, who do not believe in advertising,
who think that the mere goodness of a
product should make it sell itself and
who feel that the advertising appro-
priation should be charged off each
year as a total loss to the business.
"rFhese fellows say that they never
read the ads themselves and ever if
they did, would not believe. half of
what the advertiser ents say. These
