It is also highly probable that our stock will advance in price. This is absolutely the best opportunity you have ever had to buy oil stock and especially in a producing company.1 We don't want you to hurry and jump into the proposition blindly, but we urge you to make haste in purchasing our stock as the more stockholders we have the more people are boosting the Greater Texas Oil Company, which goes to make our stock more valuable. The majority of our stockholders are successful merchant and bankers, and they own stock in blocks as large as 500 shares. 1 Though much oil stock is offered now, practically none of it has production and guarantees dividends as we do one per cent per month beginning October 1, 1919. if THE ARROW POINTS TO THE LAND OF OPPORTUNITY!
