in permanent files. An appreciated un-

required more than 100000 barrels
of crude in 1912 and that storage
was drawn upon TO an alarmingly
low level to meet that demand.
We know that the demand will be
even greater in 1943. There is only
one way that demand can be met:
by the drilling of many wells.
Properties which are not now pro-
ducing must be brought into produc-
ton. New reserves must be tapped.
Millions of dollars were paid to
one set Of Montana royalty owners
in the decade ending 1941.
Another set of Montana royalty
owners received more millions in the
decade of 1881 TO 1871.
Still another set of Montana roy
atty owners viii receive even more
millions in the decade before us.
The flush pools Of 1926 meant
nothing in 1886. Likewise the flush

greatest market this state has

There is nothing more certain than
the outlook for the oil industry.
There is a national oil shortage at
the present time. Only miracle can
relieve this situation in less than
five years. After the war, there may
be reproduction Of metals, of
wheat and other products, but not of
petroleum. Oil in underground stor-
age Is more secure than money in the
bank. That is not our Judgment
alone. Large ordnance companies,
making tremendous fortunes from
manufacture Of munitions, are in
vesting their money In the oil in
dustry. We were interested to know
why they were going into the oil
business rather than into mining OF
milling or agriculture. We saw in a
trade publication the reasons Of

Fortunes to Be Made
by Whom?

II am glad to see Standard of New
Jersey entering Montana at this
time. Montana has been in need of
new blood for some time and I look
for others to follow"
SO writes a veteran member of this
organization, who is an employee Of
one of the major companies in
Wyoming, and whose opinion sum
mates the views of those who are
familiar with the Montana oil situar
ton. He is one who has made careful
investments that viii unquestionably
provide him with social security far
beyond the average personal fortune.
He is one who has had vision enough
to anticipate the areas OF future de-
velopment, knowing that the oil for
tomorrow's market must come from
tracts that are today undeveloped.
Montana royalties in the past
have seen years Of hoping" he
writes. Each New Year we would
hope for action but the year would
close just another year. Prom now on
there ought TO be a green light. If
I didn't have lots Of faith in Mon
tana would have quit buying royal
ties in your state long ago, but now
1t is looking brighter"
This mans opinion is that some of
the big future production viii come
from the 'sNoses" of North Cut Bank,
as evidenced by his investment of
about $4,000 in low-priced royalties
in that area. IT always had faith in
North Cut Bank and figured some
day someone would get some good
oil production and some big wells on
the noses. have always stated that
the possibilities were good for lime
production in North Cut Bank before

in Kansas which is investing its
munitions profits in oil:
Auto Ordnance corporations en-
trance into the oil business resulted
from several circumstances. First, it
was accommodating a considerable
cash reserve. However, the manage
ment realized that with the cessation
of the war, its gun business would
face an almost abrupt end. With a
view TO continuing the corporation
after the war, it was decided to par
ticipate in a more permanent in
dustry. The oil business was chosen
because the management desired not
only a business that offered a prom
ising future but also one in which
it could utilize its resources to aid
the government in supplying a vital
product"
The Judgment Of this investor may
provide guidance 70 the person who
may be uncertain how to plan his
future. The man who does not have
millions with which to go into the
producing business can do no better
than to buy some potential oil land.
Or If he cannot bay land, he may
then buy oil in underground storage.
That means the purchase Of land
owners royalty. The man who owns
one per cent landowners royalty de-
finfteIy owns one barrel out OF every
100 barrels under that given tract
and whenever 100 barrels Of oil is
brought TO the surface that royalty
owner gets his barrel Of oil, free Of
cost of production.
Thus If an investor owns thou
sand or a hundred thousand barrels
Of oil in underground storage, it is
his own fortune-tax free until it is
reduced to cash.
Landowners' royalties are inalien-
able property rights and as firm as
the ownership Of land. The greatest
opportunities we have known in our
20 years are now offered to Montana
royalty investors. We invite CORES
pondence with any who is interested
in joining us in royalty purchases.
