U goes to 50 cents this coming week. And this isn't the first advance either. , There is no
doubt in our minds that you will see this stock soaring way up in dollars soon, and when
you do, we know you will wish that you had a larger block. We would advise all who can
possibly do so to purchase before the end of the week and take advantage of the rise.
For making big money, there is nothing In
the Investment world today that will bear com
qarlnon for a moment with the opportunities
afforded by California oil stocks.
Dozens and scores of these stocks are sell
lag today for many times the prices at which
they were originally placed on the market.
In the advances of the past year many of
them have yielded profits of several hundred
per cent to investors.
- In production and earnings the oil wells have -distanced
the gold mines.
Thousands of people enjoying a competence
today owe their good fortune to moderate in
vestments In California oIL
By still other thousands the successes of the
past will be duplicated during the present
year.
Now, don't be a pessimist and say that this
Is Impossible. .Facts are facts, and if yon only
take the trouble to look Into same, yon will
find that this Is 'truyiyr: :
", The writer came across a beautiful article
some time ago entitled "The Optimist versus
the Pessimist." .Read It, It won't hurt you. ..
THE OPTIMIST VERSUS
THE PESSIMIST
.'"The optimist lives under a clear sky, the
pessimist lives in ,a fog. The , pessimist is
confused; he hardly knows where to go, what
to do or. how to act; the optimist is in tune
with the harmonies of nature and discerns "
: distinctly the onward path that lies before him.
The pessimist hesitates and loses both time
and opportunity; 'the optimist makes the best
use of everything now, and builds himself up,
steadily and surely, until all adversity is over
come and the object In view realized.. The pes
simist curbs his energies and concentrates his
whole , attention - upon failure-, the optimist
gives all his thought aid power to the attain- 1
ment of success, and arouBes his faculties and
forces to the highest point of efficiency. The
pessimist waits for better times, and expects
' to keep on waiting; the optimist goes to work
with the beBt that is at hand now. and proceeds
to create better times.
.The optimist is an Inspiration to everybody;
the pessimist is a wet blanket. The pessimist
pours cold water on the fires of his own abil
ity; the optimist adds fuel to those fires. The
pessimist links his mind to everything that
U losing ground; the optimist lives, thinks and

works with everything that is determined to
press on. The pessimist places a damper ta
everything; the optimist gives lite, fire and go
to everything. The pessimist repels every
thing; the optimist attracts everything. ' The
pessimist fights the wrong; the optimist works
to increase the power 'of the right. The opti
mist Is a building force; the pessimist is al
ways an obstacle in the way of progress. The
ppssimlBt lives In a dark, soggy,-unproductive
world, the optimist lives in 'that mental sun
shine that makes all things grow."
Do you realize how true all this is? Don't
you appreciate, that the optimist Is the suc
cessful man? The optimist is the man who
invests for he believes some good will come
from such an investment, and as every real
fortune that ever was made resulted from In
vestment, it is optimism that makes success.
The pessimist Is the man who looks with
suspicion upon all investment opportunities,
and while he Is hemming and hawing and fail
ing to act, an optimist grasps the opportunity,
makes his investment,' and gets his start In
'life.
It required' a generous supply of optimism
for men to go ahead and develop what is today
the greatest wealth producer lu the world
California Oil Lands but their optimism has
, been repaid.: ' ;,':-,v -". ;..jw l,i:;"'-y:fi
Allen G. Nichols, editor of the "Oil Indus
try," gives a few pertinent facts in. a recent
issue of one of the leading dally papers, and
he writes regarding this wonderful Oil Indus
try2 . . ' '
"Only a half-century old the oil industry In
the United States has already exported more
than $2,000,000,000 worth of the refined mate
rial. In other words, in fifty years the total
; amount received for refined oil exported has
been greater than the value of the entire pro
duction of gold In the United States since
Columbus discovered America.; Since 1866, the
year in which sixty small casks were sent to
; France as an experimental shipment, ' the
amount exported has beengreater in value
than the production of gold in the entire world
.for the same period. . Within the memory of
living man the infant has grown to a giant in
dustry , that gives employment to 70,000 men
in the fields'and refineries, and whose annual
, payroll amounts to millions of dollars.
The spring pole rig used along Oil creek

has given place to modern machinery, oper-
ated by carefully trained men. ' The ox trains
that hauled oil in barrels over roads unworthy
of the name have been replaced by thousands v
tf miles of steel -pipe line, great trains of oil
tanks and the modern oil carrying-ships, whose
capacity in some cases is over 80,000 barrels. ;
.Everything that coal has done for the east, .
crude oil la doing for California, and since its
general use, less than ten years ago, ways and
means have been devised to use crude oil In
California, the same as coa is used In other
parts of the United States, and the public at
large have shown their appreciation of its
value by the adoption of crude oil wherever
fuel Is needed. As a result of this a stream
of gold la distributed in California to holders
of California Oil .Company stocks, which
amounts to many millions of'dollars per year.
W. W. Orchutt, one of the most prominent :
.consulted engineers and geologists in this
country, in a recent report on a California Oil
Company, had the following to say about Cal
ifornia oil lands: ,
' "There Is no place in the world where the
oil measures are so amply and thoroughly sat-'
urated as In California, " Thta makes California
oil wells big producers and long-lived." He
then goes on and cites Incidents where even on
large acreage, such as 120 acresthe produc
tion today has been as high as 90,000 barrels
per acre, and the land still producing heavily,
. The Investor with sufficient Judgment to see
these great possibilities, and the optimism,
which generates nerve to back this judgment,
; will be literally swept to fortune on this great
flood of oil which flows through the proven
fields of California. The optimism and courage
of the pioneer oil men of California have made
them millionaires. They , learned the truth of
"that great saying: "One good Investment is
worth a lifetime of labor.". What optimism

SOW
We have shown that you should be an op-
. timlst, at least as far as California oil Is con
cerned. Now, you being an optimist,, we will
tell about one of the companies that will soon
stand, If not at the head, at least very near
the, head of the California Oil Producing com
panies, and, that Is the California National
Crude Oil Company. This Company' has pur-
. chased thousands of acres of land In the Coal
Inga Oil District, which Is recognized as the
' largest producing oil district in California. It
Is selling stock for the development of the
same. The par value of this stock is one dol
lar, and the present purchase price is 40 cents.
It is only a question of a short time until the
stock will be selling at par. We advise the
' early purchase at 40 cents. " Remember this
stodk goes to SO cents on the 28th of. May and
not a share can be bought for less' after that
date. Now, don't hesitate. Buy now, and do
so quick. .
