With onlv a few davs to come before our next dividend is to be paid and well No. 7
rapidW ;ippioaching the p a y - s an d, which will surely create new values on stock and much
larger earnings, 110 one should hesitate in taking advantage of the opportunity lor financi-

Every man knows that there is unlimited returns no be enjoyed in the oil business
V0U Every'man knows that the oil business as a general rule ss more or less speculative,
but the records of fabulous fortunes made will always interest the small investor °
business, for it is practically the only channel through which the man with a limited
amount of capital can hope to gain financial independence.
WOULD YOU TRY FOR FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE IF
YOUR SPECULATION WAS MADE ENTIRELY SAFE?
As careful considerate business men, the officers of the Ivanhoe Pertoleum Com-
pany through their long experience, have learned these things, better perhaps than most
men, as is evidenced in the successful manner they have conducted their activities up to
date"' not only with this company, but with many other oil companies.
The Ivanhoe Petroleum Company through its vast acreage, offers possibilities lor spe-
culation that are rarely equalled, for in the selection and distribution ot ths acreage,
the oil game is being played in line with the practices of all the big successful companies.
The leases have all been selected under geological advice and are so distributed that the
development work being done by the many other companies operating in this field will
result to the benefit of the Ivanhoe Petroleum Company without expense to thenr
Geological statistics show that 70 per cent of all wells drilled in undeveloped terri-
tory are productive when drilled under the direction of competent geologists. That leaves
30 chances out of 100 for failure and those 30 chances are just what the man of small cap-
ital can't afford to take without some insurance against loss. It's a terrible position to be
in. If you don't take the 30 chances of losing you will probably never be financially inde-
pendent, and if you do take them and lose, you are ruined.
There is just one way to incorporate and conduct an oil company that the man ot
moderate means can afford to connect himself with, and that is to put in enough provea
acreage with actual production on it to guarantee him oil and dividends when he comes in.
Couple up surety and speculation in such a manner that you can get the full beefit of both.
Our lease No. 1, of 320 acres in the west 1-2 of section 11, T. 27N, R. 3E, is perfectly
located geographically. It is surrounded with production and it has six producing wells
on t and" well No. 7 drilling. W guarantee this property is now producing a minimum an-
nual earning power of 20 per cent per annum on the par value of every share of our secur-
ities, and we'are paying this out in dividends each quarter. Thi3 lease is absolute insur-
ance against loss. It permits you- through the securities of this company, to participate in
the vast speculative possibilities enjoyed in the oil business and at the same time your
funds are so safeguarded that financial loss need not worry you.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink, because he don't know
any better. Will you accept this opportunityfor financial independence that has been pre
pared for you? There is not a weak spot in this entire organization, from beginning to
end. No one can question it. Will you accept it?
We Have Done Our Part. Will You Do Yours? Well No. 7
is Drilling. Next Dividend Day is April 5th, and the
Earnings Are Guaranteed. Quick Action and Big
Returns. Both Necessary to Your Success.
The Price is Now $22.SO Per Share.
Well No. 7 should soon be in, creating new values on our securities. You cannot af-
ford to wait. Cut out the coupon and fill it in to the fullest extent of your financial possi-
bilities, for this is the opportunity that you have been looking for.
