Like everyone else, we are look
ing about US for new accomplish
menst We think IN terms Of the
success OF our members. Their
success Is the only measure OF
success OF this organization and with
out their success, this organization
ceases to exist. Eight million dol
lars has been spread among royalty
owners Of Montana in the brief
span Of years this organization has
been In business. That Is q million
dollars a year. for this organization
Is a little more than eight years
old. Eight years Is not long time,
but It is sufficient time to prove
whether business proposition has
merit.
That Is not to say that there
have been no ups and downs IN that
eight years. The outstanding fact
remains that our members-the ones
who have bought royalties through
this organization--are as a rank
and file, satisfied They have been
successful. for the most part. In
proportion to their own individual
effort. The man who bought ONE
royalty on a wildcat and settled
down to get rich was very disgruntl-
ed when the wildcat well was dry.
If we had RECOMMENDED the in
vestment. he would blame US but he
cannot blame US for we stay away
from recommendation
We try to provide our members
with all the facts on which an
offered investment might be accepted
or rejected. We insist that each
man take his own business in his
own hands and succeed by his own
efforts. That there is money-big
money--to be made IN royalties
goes without saying. It takes no
great effort 10 figure the difference
between the cost OF a wildcat royalty

the papers go Of record. he knows
definitely what he owns and further
more he Is entirely familiar with
the location OF the property. It
would be possible for US to file the
papers and transact all OF the busi-
ness for our members, but II is our
experience that the more successful
royalty investors would much rather
handle their own affairs, because
they then know definitely what is
going on. While we do not refuse
to handle these affairs, we believe
it much better that we act in the
role OF advisor when any question
arises, each member assuming re-
sponsibility for his act IN the matter
Of dlsposing Of his oil and similar
affairs. Certainly. a grocery would
not expect a wholesale house TO run
his business for him. The man who
invests a few hundred dollars in

The first measure Of thoughtful
ness In these Investments is the
desire Of a person to handle his
own affairs as FAR as possible.
One OF re primary things is that

OF royalty should see to it that he
