RIVER FORECAST There will be practically no change In the rir. UNITED OIL Advances From 75c to 90c Per Share Within Past Two Weeks, as We Predicted in the " California Oil Bulletin" of April 12th This advance has been solely upon merit. We now predict that UNITED OIL Will Advance to $1.50 per Share Within 60 Days for the following reasons: The Company owns 1,010 acres of oil ground in the Midway and McKittrick fields. 580 acres of this ground being located in the heart of the North Midway Gusher Zone. The United Oil Company is now producing at the rate of MORE THAN 100,000 BARRELS OF OIL PER MONTH. Within 30 days the United Company will complete a well in Section 24-31-23. This is proven gusher territory, and the completion of this well will very materially increase the Company's production. Within 60 days the United Com pany will complete a well on its property of 320 acres in Section 20-31-23. This well should also be a great gusher of high gravity oil. United Pays Regular Dividends of 1% per month", or 12% per year, on the par value of the stock, which is $1.00 per share. Tbe Company is pow actually earning at the rate of about 22% per year, and with the com pletion of wells now being drilled it is certain that the dividend rate will be materially increased. Notwithstanding the present production of more than 100,000 barrels of oil per month, less than 4% of the Company's proven property has been drilled, leaving more than 96% of the United Oil Company's gusher territory intact. The present intrinsic value of United stock, based upon the liquidating value of the Company's property and assets, is about $1.50 per share. Speculatively, the stock is easily worth from $2.00 to $3.00 per share, and it will advance with very few momentary recessions to this price or higher. The manage ment of the Company is everything that could be desired. We Advise Immediate Purchase of United Oil at the Market The present price is from 90c to 95c per share. It is an absolutely safe investment, pays now a large rate of dividends on this valuation, and will show afi exceptionally handsome profit through enhancement in value within the near future. United will advance to $1.50 per share within 60 or 90 days. United Oil is listed on both the San Francisco and Los Angeles Exchanges, and the stock can be bought or sold through any broker any day in the year. Place your orders with us at once for United Oil stock.
