However, the low earnings of 1887 point
the way to opportunity to the investor.
When royalty earnings drop down, the
royalty owner is likely 90 want to sell
When he HAS to sell, the time of OppOr-
tunity has arrived.
The only thing that can create such OPP
pOrtunity is a depressed market. We
have just that situation today in both
Kevin-Sunburst and in Cut Bank. We
have our attorneys today working on
titles on THREE bargain royalties,
brought to us by men who MUST raise
some cash. If titles are perfect, we will
provide the necessary cash and divide the
royalty among our members. Offering
sheets will be registered first ON a roy
atty In Cut Bank field. This royalty will
cost but 5000 for one per cent-entdtling
the owner to receive one barrel out of
every 100 produced.
1t is one of the royalties that we will
look back to, a few years hence, as we
now look back at the EngemOen and the
Swayze and other bargains that grew out
of the depression.
Those who send in the coupon below
will receive preference reservations, SUBJ

IF there is another depression, / am
going to have my money i'm the ground
so that none can get IL away from me-"
declared an investor who visited our
office this week.
He did not mean that he would bury
his money in a tin can. He meant that
he would have it invested I'm oil. If he
owned a barrel of oil, I'm underground
storage, at the beginning Of the depres-
sion, he would own that same barrel of
oil at the end of the depression unless
it were taken from the ground in which
case he would have received his profit
thereon. Fortunately, all of the oil cam
not be taken from the ground in any
one year or in several years. SO the
royalty oil is bound to .'Outlive'' any
depression.
This investor is one who has been an
inactive member Of our organization for
several years. He was receiving our pHb-
LEGATIONS during the depression but he
was not then convinced. Instead, he was
caught in the stock market and he drop
ped from our membership. When the
stock market recently dropped out from
UNDER" as he termed it, he determined
that he would turn TO investments over
which he had more control.
The odd part of it was that he want
ed to buy some royalties Obtainable dur
ing the depression. He wanted some
EngemOen royalty at 81 per cent per
acre. The EngemOen Is located in Sec
lions II and 14-S5N-2W. the heart of
the Kevin-Sunburst field. We bought
some of this Engemoen for less than 81
per cent per acre. With the coming of
acidizatiOn a well was drilled on this
tract and acidized and it paid out more
than our investment during the first year
OF production Our members bought
about 6% per cent of this rOyalty-half
of the landowners share. Many of them
sold a part Of their royalty for what
they paid for it and have a cash profit
from the earnings and no investment
whatever in their remaining royalty. Thus
