Barton (Assistant Publisher of The Morning Telegraph.) When I boarded the train for Texas a month ago I was somewhat skeptical about the reports of the fabulous wealth which was coming to oil investors, in Texas. I was prepared to meet a lot of smooth-taiking, silvery tongued oil stock salesmen. To say the least, I expected that the oil men that I was to meet would show me the bright side of the oil business and put thelr best foot forward. Thus I was prepared to discount about 80 per cent. of what they told me and take what I saw with a grain of salt. After having spent this month in going over the oil fields, my greatest worry is that if I tell the actual truth—the bare, cold facts—I will be considered a candidate for the presidesncy of the Ananias Club, or, speaking in the vernacular, the best Far east of the Mississippi. Iam tcsl that in the town of Ranger a vear ago there was hardly a man in the town who had a bank account of $5.000. Today there are probably twenty-five who have a bank account of $5,000,000. Millionaires are so common that nobody thinks anything about them. Everybody seems to have plenty of money, even drillers making $12 to $15 per day. Men and women have gonc to sleep at night only to wake in the morning to find themselves multi-millionaires because they have struck oil. With modern machinery consuming an ever {ncreasing amount of oil, and with England, France and Italy and all foreign : 1 nations calling upon us for more and more oil, the demand is sure to exceed the supply for a long time to come. nized under an iron- Texas today is the Aladdin of the world and opportunities there are reatenihaalovestheforel Frankly, I must confess that I expected to find a lot of crooks in the oil business. All my early training had taught me to shun an oil investment as I would a snake. However I must say that in my opinion the great majority of Western companies are absolutely on the level. I never met a finer class of people in my life than the men who are putting out these western companies. There is no need for an oil company to be crooked. There is an inexhaustible supply of oil in Texas and there is so much money to be made by simply being fair and square that it is not worth while to be dishonest Jump on a train and go down and see for vourself, I did. the wonderful opportunitics which are open in every line of business in Texas towns adjoining the oil ficlds.

FORTUNES IN OIL There is an inclination on the part of a certain class to question the fabulous- fortune reports that are constantly coming to light. However, no one will question the above statements by Charles W. Barton, who is one of the most respected and able journalists in the newspaper business. As a matter of fact, this page could be filled with condensed accounts of the un- believable fortunes made in oil. Such stories come to light e very hour of the day, and yet not the half of them have been told. It is said of Tulsa, Oklahoma, that every member of the Chamber of Com- merce is an oil millionaire, and that there are more than one hundred millionaires whose fortunes were made through oil The oil business is open to the small investor as a possible fortune on a few hundred invested. It has been' for years, and is today the poor man's chance to accumulate large sums through moderate investments. 000 APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
