OF one answer TO this question we are
certain:
The investor must put his money into
an enterprise the function of which is to
CREATE NEW WEALTH.
Furthermore, the investor must put
some of luis own BRAINS into his i'm
vestment, in addition to his money.
The man who hands his money to
someone else with the idea of having
the someone else" make a tremendous
profit by the use Of it, returning the
profit or any large part OF It to the
investor, is nearly always disappointed.
The man who puts his own brains, enc
ergy and intelligence into an investment
is ENTITLED to more than is the dumb,
brainIess money. 1t is no more than
proper that the man who can MAKE
money with money is entitled to the
lions share of the profits thereof.
Accordingly, money is worth per cent
or four per cent or, If the risk is great,
as much as six or eight percent. Without
brains, money is worth no more that
RATE OF INTEREST. Yet it is APP
parent that a rate of interest viii get
the average man nowhere in the direction
of financial independence.
If we study the history of men who
have made fortunes we will discover that
most fortunes come from EXTRACTIVE
industries. That is, from industries
which take new wealth from the ground.
We need not point out that this country's
richest men-the ones who have started
out with just their meagre savings and
achieved wealth-have obtained that
wealth through the oil industry.
1t does not follow that every man who
puts his money in the oil industry win
become rich. Many a men have invested
more money than did Harry Sinclair,
but they have not made as much money
as Harry Sinclair. The difference is
that Sinclair put BRAINS AND ENERGY
into his investments, all of which came
from a SIS 1000 accident insurance policy
How, then, can an investor put his
money to work in the oil industry without

landowner to receive his share FREE
OF COST OF PRODUCTION.
One per cent royalty means the right
to receive ONE barrel out of every 100
like a large share, yet 1t means a
of such a royalty ON a producing tract
of as little as 40 acres. BY buying ahead
of production it is possible to secure one
percent roalty on 40 acres for as little
as $50.
The intelligent investor viii find out
what 40 acres of oil land MAY produce
by examining the record OF tracts that
are DRILLED OUT In Cut Bank field
there are no tracts that are drilled out.
In Kevin-Scnburst there are several In
The East pool that are drilled Out-every
location tested. 1t is ON the results of
such tracts that we can base our judg-
ment about the POSSIBILITIES of royal
ties. If we take an example, and dis
count its record so per cent, we have
some conservative idea of what may come
from an undrained tract Of oil land.
We have the record of one 4O-acre tract
in Kevin-Sunburst field which has been
drilled out, location after location, and
while this tract has been producing for
a decade, just one years operation illus
trates what might come from a $50 in
vestment such as referred to above:
