I had been taken for granted. Hut as
I might have been expe-ted. whon Friday's
recovery on tho stock exenange was plain

tendency in the industrial shares con
tinued. The day's net changes were ir
regular; scattered declines occurred de
spite the predominance of advances, and
pretty much all stocks closed below the
best.
Many Losses Recovered.
But the veek, at all events, ended with

CAT CREEK
The Famous Montana Oil Fields Make History
S
A year ago the first oil well blew in with a roar
in the now nationally famed Cat Creek oil field of
. Montana. This gusher produced the highest grade
of oil over 50 per cent gasoline that was then
being produced by any wells in this country, and
caused the beginning of the' rush to the Montana
oil fields. Since that time nineteen more gushers
have been brought in and drilling is being fever-
ishly pushed in scores of locations on the famous
Cat Creek, wtih new gushers blowing in every few
days. In fact, Cat Creek is just hitting its stride
and the best of it is that no dry holes are re
ported. Why Montana
Needs Outside Capital to Help
Develop Fields
Naturally the wells coming in are makinga lot
of people rich, but so much money is needed to
develop ground that outside capital is being called
in to help, sharing fully in the profits; Montana
has had three or four years of short crops. The
prices of cattle, shaep, and wool have dropped and
the copper mines mostly closed, so we are short of
ready money to develop this wonderful new re
source as rapidly as it should be developed.
Therefore, to enlist the needed money from
outside sources, some of the biggest and most sub
stantial of the business men of Lewistown the
srateway to the Cat Creek have joined together
in forming small syndicates to develop some of the
dose-in ground near the biggest producers of the
field, where they feel absolutely confident that oi!
will be brought in, and they offer to share the
riches produced by the drilling of such wells with
those at a distance on a fair and equal basis, if
those outside will help pay the expense of drilling.
The standing of these men guarantees a fair deal
to every one-and puts this deal far above the ordi
nary stock or financial offering.
A Fair, Square Deal in Which
You Can Share
Standing well at the top, with probably the bes1
all around proposition of any in the field, is the
FIRST NATIONAL OIL SYNDICATE. This syn
dicate enjoys two very marked distinctions. The
first is 40 acr of ground, right in the heart of
the Cat Creek field, that has within a mile or less
radius, nirie of the big producing wells among
them the most famous gushers in the whole field,
with drilling and locations of wells surrounding in
every direction.
The second is the fact that some of the most
successful business and oil men of this part of
Montana are at the head of the syndicate. The
trustees are Edmund Wright, president of the
Wright Land and Investment Co., big land op
erators known throughout the Northwest; O. F.
Wasmansdorff, the widely known architectural en
gineer, and Rodney J. Anderson, secretary of tho
Moritana Flour Mills Company, a two million dol
lar concern. These men do not refer you to anv
navicular bank, hut REFER YOU TO ANY
BANK OR BUSINESS HOUSE IN LEWISTOWN,
MONTANA, surely sufficient reference. You
may be sure of a square deal at the hands of such
men.
Would You
Like to Make a Fortune From a
Small Investment
Fortunes are of course being made from small
investments in this field. The instances where men
have made from $5,000 to $15,000 from a littls
investment of $250 are so common as to attract
little attention. It is simply a matter of spending
$25,000 or so to drill a well, that when it conies
in a thousand barrel gusher ami . many larger
ones are reported is then worth piobybly two
million dollars, and assues further equal produc
tion on the same ground.
Now, this First National Syndicate is a common
law trust, organized for only $125,000, divided
into non-assessable units of a par value of $100
each. It is a small capital but enough to develop
our valuable holdings.
An Exceptional Offer
We offer the readers of this paper this out:
chance to join with us- in this development. A
few of these units are offered in your territory
for immediate sale. If you want to share in the
riches that are being created daily by the develop- ,
ment of the oil lands of the Cat Creek field if
you want to make $5,000 to $10,000 from the in
vestment of a few hundred dollars this is the
one best opportunity you will ever have.
But this oil business goes fast, and you will
have to let us know at once, as this offer may not
be repeated. Send $100 for one unit, $200 for
two. etc., or if you desire, send one-fourth of the
amount with order and the balance in three equal
monthly payments. If you want further informa
tion, write for it at once, but better enclose your
order for at least one unit with your letter. Re
member, this is no . wild-cat proposition but re
sponsible business men making you a bona-fide
business proposition to share in the development
of proven ground in a great oil field with a rea
sonable certainty of making you a fortune from
a small investment in the next few months.
If you want to share in this deal, WRITE TODAY.

Analyze Your Investments
Safety Yield Marketability are the three prime
requisites of good investments. The desirability of
an investment may be learned through the following
analysis :
Will your interests be fully protected under
all circumstances?
Is the income as high as can be obtained
consistent with safety?
Is there a market for the investment so,
should you desire to dispose of it, you can
do so quickly and easily?
Good bonds combine safety, yield and marketability '
better than any other form of investment. We offer.
for1 conservative investment, bonds of foreign coun
tries; of our great Railroad Systems; of successful
and substantial corporations and of progressive
municipalities.
