pin the Sweat of Thy Face Shalt Thou Eat Bread”.... I j That was the old rule, but now wise people make the dollar sweat for them, while they sit idly by and eat pie. You plant in the spring <[ time and take chances on even getting your seed back; while four-fold is joyfully received. !* In the great modern enterprises there are !; opportunities of reaping a thousand fold and !; have your money work while you sleep. More money has been made in Southern <; California in OIL during the last six <• months, than will be made on the farms in the same region in 2 years. The Piru Consolidated Oil Co. !; own 640 acres of the cream of the oil fields. !; Only a small capital stock, and it is all treasury stock, not a dollar of promoters’ stock. All the stock not sold remains in the treasury for the benefit of all the stock holders. I; Only sufficient stock is offered for sale to ■ I put down the first well. After that, the first ;! well we believe will develop the balance of the ;! land and pay dividends. The par value of stock is $lO per share, Now offered for i; $2.50 per share. Not a share has been or !; will be sold for less. This is a reliable business I opportunity, conducted by business men of strict integrity. No salaried officers. Every dollar of stockholder’s money goes into development work. Elias Strong, your old townsman, is the company’s treasurer, and one of the directors; no further guarantee is needed of the character of the company.
