Oil Business Depends Upon) Daring and ‘That the off tustness is unlike any other business, that its success has depended upon the daring and faith of adventurous spirits like Colonel Drake, who drilled the first oll well en this continent more than 64 years ago, is brought out in «# re- cent article by R. W. Egan in the Oil City Derrick. He goes on to pay: “Such were the men of vision who backed up faith and hope with all their wealth in the expectation of realizing their dreams after pene trating the earth for hundreds and) hundreds of feet. Colonel Drake hoped for the reward to whieh he was entitied when he spudded in ever 64 years ago. He discovered ol ve to the world kerosene instead of candle light. He has lub-| ricated machinery and provided pow-| er for the automobile of today. Was he entitled to reward commensurate with the hazard?

Was Colonel Drake and his successors in the wildcat territory of the world entitled to more than ordinary com- pensation for their faith and daring in jeopardizing money and prospects in venturing beyond good business practice in order to make or break themselves? “The extraordinary men who dis- cover new fields are not the care ful, conservative business men. The discoverers frequently defy all the reports and statistics of geologists and experts and drill according to the faith that is in them. The pro- duction of ofl depends upon these brave and daring spirits who hazard all their wealth in the hope of ac: cumulating riches by ‘discovery of new fields. They are entitled to the fortunes commensurate with the hazards. From the Atlantlo to the Pacific there are thousands of dry holes—the graveyards of hope—rep resenting the broken hearts and broken fortunes of men who tried but failed.” UNITED STATES BONDS Liberty Second, 4%e Liberty Third, 4%s Lsberty Fourth 4%s U.
