The bee hole was forty feet from the ground, and the men averred that the snake, attra.-ted by the honey, had climbed (he tree, had it. feast, and theislhle bees had ef vpon him t i drive him I tree. away and had literally covered tha snake when found. rrof.

Individual Buyers Must Place Orders at Once to Obtain Shares at $1.00 Each ESTIMATED VALUE $5.00 TO $10.00 PER SHARE WITHIN ONE YEAR Tier er few big nterprU so fortunately strutted financially and Otherwise as la tha Buick Oil Company. Examine the financial and property conditions of other big corporations and you will find that most of them are burdened with heavy debta of some kind or they exist by virtue of franchise more or less limited and the renewal of which dependa upon political favor, or they are obliged to contend with fierce competition of one sort or another. The Buick Oil Company has none of these handicaps. It is free from debt. .It controla its properties absolutely and is not dependent upon the good will of any person or clique of politicians. Its prodtiet is of high grade and is practically unlimited and is cash upon delivery. There is sve preferred stock to take precedence over the common atock. There are no bonda out and no need of any. There are no big salaries paid to officers or other with which to oat up or diminish the profits of the stockholders. In fact, EVERY CONDITION IS IDEAL. Those who have already acquired Buick Oil stock are to be con gratulated. Those who take advantage of the existing conditions and immediately buy Buick Shares can enjoy oaceptienal advantages becaaee there are no uncertainties a boot the company. Tha atock should speedily Increase in market value as the eamiaga of the company iaereea. From both tha increase in the value of the stock and the regular and astro, dividends each dollar invested should return many dollars. One element which acts as insurance in behalf of the average buyer of thla stock Is the fact that from Mr. Buick down none of the officers or big stockholders can obtain a penny excepting aa the company is made to earn dividends. Every shareholder is on a level with Mr. Buick. One can't profit unless the other does, and vice versa. If one can find an investment anywhere that is safer or that can bring larger returns from ona'a money in less time than the atock of the Buick Oil Company, such a security is what we are all after. If Mr. Moffatt eeuld have found such aa investment he weald hava handled Sanaa la preference to Buick Ofl steck BUT it wasn't poeeiUe. No RELIABLE security dealer will undertake to finance any eoterpriae that does pat possess every fundamental element neeeaeary far a speedy and substantial auccoaa. It is more difficult to find such opportunities than It la to obtain the necessary funds with which te develop them. It ia natural, therefore, that the reliable and eucoeeaful security mer chant should have innumerable offer from promoter looking for capital with which to float their ventures, and when a high-oieas investment dealer offers the public aha privilege of investing In tha steck of a corporation It ia only after a mast careful investigation ha been made of ooomly do sea of proposed or actual enterprises, and whan ana la finally selected It la because af superior merit and tha money saver who would make the meet of hie opportunity will realm that aba work of weighing and eetemetlng tka ha already aeea a reputation So mala tain, and such beea worth of an enterprise aaaumed by a dealer with ad the oneoweo Incidental thereto oa a maintain, and a a provided ta the limit or tka the inveator want most have and ability of the dealer.
