f “In the Sweat of Thy Face | Shalt Thou Eat Bread”.... That was the old rule, but now wise people j —— 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 jj seed back; while four-fold is joyfully received. ! ;! In the great modern enterprises there are ; ; opportunities of reaping a thousand fold and | i, have your money work while you sleep. jj More money has been made in Southern California in OIL during the last six !; months, than will be made on the farms in j' the same region in 2 years. jj The Pirn Consolidated Oil Co. own 640 acres of the cream of the oil fields. Only a small capital stock, and it is all treas- ;! ury stock, not a dollar of promoters’ stock. All the stock not sold remains in the treasury !; for the benefit of all the stock holders. ;! Only sufficient stock is offered for sale to put down the first well. After that, the first well we believe will develop the balance of the J; land and pay dividends. The par value of stock is $lO per share, Now offered for 11 $2.50 per share. Not a share has been or j* will be sold for less. This is a reliable business > opportunity, conducted by business men of ji strict integrity. No salaried officers. Every !; dollar of stockholder’s money goes into devel- !; opment work. Elias Strong, your old townsman, is the com* j! pany’s treasurer, and one of the directors; no ;! further guarantee is needed of the character of ;! the company. | For further information address V .
