For more than a year nov this com: pany has figured conspicuously in the fnancial news of the day. - which was put on the maraet cents gp share, advanced rapidly to 50 cents, and in the past 13 months has actually paid 27 p.e. in dividends on the investment . It is now positively known that the stock will go to par (81. a share) on January 3rd, just three days hence. A Splendid Proposition. The rapid rise solidated Gal Co. of the Eastern Con- is due to two caus first, the natural physical oil wealth of the ny's oil proper ties, and, second, eful and consery ative business management. The re- sult is rich men out of the original stockholders. It is in fact a splendid investment proposition from a business point of vi It is safe hecause has actual assets, rich oil lana and producing oil wells It a rich investment because its enormous oil production gives it large revenues and makes possible the generons dividends which have already been pail for over a year. Price of Stock Advances 100 Per Cent. The present allotment of stock sell- ing at oUc. a share is almost exhaust- ed. On January 3rd the price will vance to par--S8l a share. The officers of the company make the positive statement that after : midnicht, next Saturday nicht, Eastern Consolidated 0il Co. no more of its stock at 30c. after that time th: price will be Pays Big Dividends.

An 1uvestment of $1,000 male 13 months aco, has paid $270 in dividends, gnd is now worth $2,000 in consequence of the advance in price.
