S' I® z “In the Sweat of Thy Face 1 Shalt Thou Eat Bread”.... 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 ;! 1 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 J have your money work while you sleep. f More money has been made in Southern <; California in OIL during the last six I; 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. I; 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. ;! Oqly sufficient stock is**offered for sale to !; put down the first 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 $2.50 per share. Not a share has been or I; will be sold for less. This is a reliable business !; opportunity, conducted by business men of < strict integrity. No salaried officers. Every dollar of stockholder’s money goes into (level- ;! opment work.

It requires 75 per cent moregrain to buy a hoe, rake or shovel than in 1896. A set of common wheels that cost $7 in 1886 now costs sl2. The price of cultivators and other farm implements has gone up proportionately. Galvanized barbed wire costs from $4 to $4.50 per hundred more than in 1896. It requires 40 per cent more corn or cotton to buy a pound of sugar than in 1896. You have to pay 40 per cent more for glass than in 1896.
