Pays 16 Dividend Be fore Their Pipe Lines Are Completed ! GENERALLY a refinery does not start to make large dividends until its pipe lines are "com , pleted. They are forced to depend on only one source for their supply of crude oil. Since it requires considerable time to build the refinery and pipe lines this is a decided disadvantage. 1 Paying From the Start. In outlining the future of the Omaha Refining Company this was given very serious consideration. It was decided that steps should he taken to put the company on an earning basis immediately. To do this every effort was made to create a good market in territory close enough to the refinery to male the cost of marketing low as possible.- . Marketing an Easy Problem.' This work met with splendid success. Marketing ' began May 1, 1919. Soon there were over fifty filling stations in the city of Omaha alone. In the month of June, 1920, sales totaled $117,965.15. -, ; With these enormous sales and only a small out lay of capital profits were large Stock' was solcLas sales grew to take care of the new business. But at no time was the outstanding stock out of proportion. In this way, while profits were doubling and re doubling, each investor was, insured the greatest pos sible interest 'on' his investment. On June 30 a divi dend of 16 was paid on all outstanding stock. Pipe Lines Soon Completed. And all this was done before the company had , completed any of its pipe lines now under construc , tion in the famous Osage oil fields. When these lines 'are completed the company will enter into a field of activity far greater than at present 1 ' Here it has an enormous advantage in having a market already well developed. Expansion will be an easy matter. The oil supply in this territory and , service to outlying districts is entirely inadequate to fill the demand. The market for'this new progressive ' cQiripany will take care of itself. . 1 . ." Stock Sales Limited." In the past the Omaha Refilling Company hasl sold stock only in such quantities as were necessary to keep pace with development. Now, with the capacity for producing petroleum products far greater than in the past, we offer on the market a limited number of shares of Preferred 8 Participating Capital Stock. This issue is made only to take care of the present -increasing business dtfe to the new pipe lines which are soon to be completed. r ' , s An Exceptonal Opportunity. That this is anexceptional opportunity is only stating it mildly. The past performance of the company, the standing of its stockholders and directors and its almost unlimited market are sound facts which speak in yery certain terms for the stability and prospects of the company. .
