than 1,750, 000,0 900 barrels OF petrol
cum products are consumed annually
by world industries, transportation,
States, with onlyea shr hh h r
farms and homes. The United
States. with only 6.5 per cent of
the worlds population, consumes 81
per cent of the total, an indication
of the dependence of this country's
higher standards of living upon
petroleum.
The second chapter, covering pro-
duction, shows the output of crude
oil by continents, nations, states,
and fields since production records
first were kept. Allied subjects
such as petroleum reserves, deep
drilling records, crude oil prices, and
production of other products also are
presented. Data indicate that the
petroleum industry contributes $21,-
000,0O0,000 to the economic wealth
of the % oil-producing states of this
country.
Transformation of raw materials
into disable products is considered
in the third chapter, which deals
with refining. Here the figures re-
veal the remarkable progress made
in the refining branch of the indus
try, with new processes producing
twice as much gasoline from given
quantity of crude oil, and improving
quality and reducing prices all along
the line.
An insert presents one of the first
complete lists of principal petroleum
products to be compiled in recent
years. The list, prepared with the
cooperation of refinery technologists
throughout the country, shows how
extensively petroleum enters the in
dustrial and social life of today,
and indicates the possibilities OF
continual progress in widening pet
roIeum's sphere of usefulness. The
chapter includes complete and cur
rent statistics on refining operations.
Transportation of petroleum and
it's products to millions of consum-
ing agencies is covered in the fourth
chapter. Here are revealed the
statistical record of operation of the
more than 100000 miles of pipe line,
10000 tank cars, and thousands OF
tank ships and tank trucks.
Markets and prices are covered
in the statistics of the fifth section,
which presents a complete record
of gasoline prices and taxes in so
cities, and shows that since 1920
retail prices of motor fuel have NOV
ed to one-half their former level.
The result is indicated by an esti-
mated saving to the public of 49,
O00,000,000 in 1887 alone.
Opposite trends are shown in the
sixth section, where comprehensive
data on taxation disclose how heavily
the petroleum industry and it's GUS
toners are levied upon for the sup
port of government. The figures
show a growth in the annual petrol
cum tax bill nearly to $1,000, 900, 900,
with approximately 81 of every So
in taxes collected by federal, state,
and local taxing jurisdictions coming
from or through petroleum sources.
A complete record of federal and
state gasoline taxes and other sales
levies is presented.
Montana oil and mining journal. [volume] (Great Falls, Mont.) 1931-1953, 1937-12-18

The seventh, or general, section
presents facts and figures on the
industry's capital investment, pay
rolls, earnings, etc. Statistical evil
dence is presented to show that the
industry earns far less than govern
ment collects in petroleum taxes;
that. the industry invests $3.50 for
every motor vehicle on the roads in
order to assure adequate supplies of
fuels and lubricants for each vehicle.
Contributions of the industry to
other industries, and to employment,
wages, and trade, through contln-
uing heavy purchasing of supplies
also are presented.
The eighth section, compring an
appendix, presents complete condens-
ed tables covering a long period of
petroleum exports. imports, consump-
ton, production, refining opera
tions, etc.
@ HIS compilation of statistics
comes from the most authorita-
tive organization of its kind In
the world the American Petroleum
Institute. Condensed in this one
volume are facts to convince the
investor whether he can rely upon
the oil industry as the vehicle of his
investments. If satisfied, the inves-
tor must then choose the avenue of
his investment. He must determine
whether he wishes to buy stocks in
responsible oil companies on the
stock exchange or whether he should
subscribe drilling funds to Indepen-
dent operators, or whether he should
buy stock in new refinery projects.
The alternative to all of these is
the purchase of part of the land
owners share of the oil under var
ious tracts of land with the under
standing that such oil is to be de-
livered to the investor free of cost
of production.
If there is any question in the
mind of the investor whether roy
atty investments pay, then as our
next step we are prepared to furnish
him with a list of the oil producing
leases in Cut Bank field, as an ex-
ample. showing what each farm has
paid to the investor in share of the
laUQOWu6I TOy atty.
This Cut Bank data, covering the
entire history of the field, has been
slow of preparation but will shortly
be ready for our members. This
service. worth hundreds of dollars,
is FREE to active members. For
those who have felt that they were
not sufficiently informed to go into
the subject of royalties we are going
to make a Christmas week offer to
apply only to those who join this
organization before January 1. New
members will receive the Petrol
cum Facts and Figures" as well as
the new publication giving earning
records on Cut Bank field which
latter publication is going out as
soon as possible to all active MEM
bers.
These publications alone are
worth more than the dollar mem
bership cost but those who send
in their membership between now
and December 81 will receive both
publications and will thereafter re-
ceive the current publications, in
Guiding the right to receive formal
offering sheets, so long as desired.

0f Chr Irur GhrlHtmaH Spirit

~ S the Christmas holidays draw
near we are again impelled to
~ look around us and determine
whether the teachings of the Christ
mas season are confined to good
thoughts and good acts for one week
out of the year or whether we are
made better throughout the year.
Certainly we expect the influence OF
Christmas spirit should extend be-
yond the short season itself. One
thing is certain: it causes us to give
thought to our all-year activities and
measure up our relations to our
fellow men.
Those of us who are engaged in
the royalty business look around us
to make sure that we are in bust
ness that is well founded: one that
will actually make substantial in
comes for the investor of moderate
means who has to make his money
do more than earn a rate of inter
est. yet not take too great risk In
losing it. We must determine
whether the business is one of tenn
porary nature that, like the hatpin
business, might be wiped out over
night by change in styles. We
must determine to our own satisfac-
ton that it is a part of a business
big enough for permanency.
1t is not enough that we in this
office be satisfied with this promise.
We must have every member of this
organization convinced by his own
knowledge of the industry. We know
number of operators who likewise
seem to need a better grounding
in the essential facts of the oil in
dustry.
This has suggested to us a Christ
mas present for new members of this
organization. It is a book of facts
and figures about the petroleum
indust%y which furnishes a ground
work for anyone who even considers
investing a dollar in the oil industry.
An intelligent investor SHOULD
have this information before him be-
fore he invests a SINGLE DOLLAR
in the industry. He must be able
to decide in time of over-production
and depressed prices whether there
is any future for the industry. He
must know to his own satisfaction
whether barrel of oil in the ground,
belonging to him, is likely to be
withdrawn from the ground for his
benefit. He must see the oil in
dustry as "big business" if it is
big business, or must know whether
it is an industry that like the phono-
graph business. may be quickly dis
solved.
= HE book we refer to is six by
I'll nine inches in size, contains
about $50 pages and is printed
in modern. legible type on India
paper. 1t contains all pertinent data
available regarding the oil industry
so that the one volume will be
complete and comprehensive work.
It includes pictorial graphs and
charts which make the data very
clear.
Subject matter is divided into
eight sections. The first, concern
ing utilization, shows various uses
to which petroleum and it's products
are put, with consumption figures
by years. The chapter reveals more
