California is richer in oil than it ever was in gold. Its annual output will soon exceed in value its annual gold product. Millions of dollars are being made in California oil. People owning a small block of oil stock have suddenly found themselves rich. As an instance of this the stock of the Home Oil Company which sold originally at a nominal figure made its owners over $8000 per share. An investment in this Company is at least safe, and it may mean ease and comfort for life.

The small stockholder is absolutely protected. He cannot be assessed or frozen out. The Company's stock is nonassessable and there is no stockholder's liability.

Stock is certain to go to $1 in 90 days and may go to $5 by January. He is lucky who gets the stock at fifty cents per share.

Why buy the stock of an oil company having limited resources when you can in one company invest in the entire oil field of California? Why do it? The California Consolidated Petroleum Company has men behind it of capital and high reputation. Their names are not only a guarantee of the honest handling of the money, but the success of the Company.

This company is not a trust. It is not connected directly or indirectly with the Standard Oil Company, all rumors to the contrary notwithstanding.

The stock of this Company can be bought for a short time at fifty cents per share, which is one-half of the par value. This offer will positively be withdrawn and stock advanced to $1 per share as soon as the block of Treasury Stock offered for sale has been sold.

Should the limited amount of stock offered at 50 cents per share be sold before receiving your application your money will be promptly returned. "First come, first served," is the company's policy in selling this stock.
