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
