It is a for cry, from the ancient myths of the Egyptians to modern, everyday business methods. The lessons learned from these old proverbs remain “fnmtamWly” the same today, as they did thousands of years ago. _ Mahomet desired a certain mountain—vejy much—as it was out of the question for the mountain to come to Uahnmpt x. Tn order to realize his “desire for possessions” Mahomet was forced to go to the mountain. * HEREIN LIES THE APPLICATION You. Mr. Farmer, Mr. Business Man, Mr. Profession* , al Man, Mr. “Any Man” —with idle capital, represents the mountain. ) ZENITH OIL COMPANY OF TEXAS represents an entire collection of “MAHOMETS anmlns canital of yours—very much —hence the obviousv, thing for us to do—is to go after it < " Assuming possess the average amount of business penmen—we are bold enough to make* the following statement: x If you will carefully consider the following reasons whv we should have this idle capital of your, we . firmly believe, you will be just as anxious to give it to us—as we will be to receive it mutual business agreement.

THOUSANDS OF ACRES OF TEXAS OIL LANDS The possession of this stock certificate entitles the holder toshare in all the dividens, and all the profits, accruing from the sale of our lands, from the sub-leasing of our tends, from the profits obtained from the sale of the oil from under our lands.

Do you know, the following statistics represent but a few of the many instances wherein a comparatively mnaU investment in oil has returned fortunes —to those who had the courage necessary to back their business judgment—with their cash! > SIOO invested in Fortuna Oil Co. — i_loo invested in Kern River Co. 100 invested in Pinal Oil Co. 10,000 100 invested in New Oil Co -— 100 invested in Imperial Oil Co. 4,000 100 invested in Peerless Oil Co — 4,300 100 invested in New York Oil Co —r—100 invested in Sour Dough Oil Co. — 3,800 100 invested in Fullerton Oil Co. __— 6,180 100 invested in Carbon Oil Co 6,400 100 invested in Kern OU Co. ——— 100 invested in Monte Chnsto Oil Co 4,500 100 invested in S.
